Thursday Things

Reagan's Girl Scout Meeting was cancelled today, so we took advantage of that time to get some things done.

Reagan got a much needed haircut

 3.5" gone!

(oh, those double crowns!)

 We had some coupons for free sundaes at McDonald's - the kids couldn't wait to use them

 We took advantage of the indoor playground to burn off some energy

Up a Tree

Reagan and the neighborhood girls have discovered a new trick of climbing trees!

Skating Practice

New skills are tough to learn, but Reagan is determined!  Reagan stayed for the public skating session after her class last night to work on some of the Basic 4 skills that she is learning.

Parent/Child Date Night

The kids had special dates tonight ~ Greg, Cooper and Bubba attended the Monster Truck show, while Reagan and I had dinner and a movie in.

Showing off her necklace Ms Vicki made her for Christmas

(a dolphin and a blue gem - 2 of her favorite things)

 Cooper spent his hard-earned pay on a snow cone

 watching the trucks in action

Game Night

This session of soccer, Cooper has moved up an age bracket.  He now plays with 7-9 year old boys (quite a different pace than the 5-6 year olds!).  He does a great job and enjoys playing goalie more than anything!

Indoor Practice

Another Thursday evening, another practice on the soccer field (at least it's indoor!)

Reagan began the new semester of ice skating lessons today...in Basic 4!  

ready to learn new skills

Day of Play

It was a sunny, but cool afternoon so we got outside to enjoy the weather.

first up...soccer

 Cooper, Greg & I played soccer in the back yard using the goal Cooper received for Christmas

 Cooper loooves to be the goalie

 Next, we had a little target practice using Cooper's pellet gun

 Where was Reagan during all this family time?  Playing Lego Friends.  She said she "just isn't an outside person when it's cold or hot"

 Cooper did a little weight liftingC!

 Then, an air hockey match broke out.  These kids are very competitive with each other when it comes to air hockey!

We also played a few rounds of checkers and tic-tac-toe, watched a movie for family night and Greg treated the kids to milkshakes from the Cook-Out!
