Animal Shelter

Cooper's 1st grade class gathered essentials for the local animal shelter for Valentine's Day.  After school, the class had an impromptu field trip to deliver the supplies.

Fire and Ice

Tonight was the local Girl Scout Council's annual Father/Daughter Dance.  The theme for the dance was Fire and Ice.  Each scout and their father was asked to wear red and/or blue.  I ordered Reagan 4 different dresses, and she fell in love with this one.

ready for her date

 Daddy and Daughter

 Greg and Reagan went out to dinner at Reagan's favorite restaurant (Taco Boy), then headed to the dance.  At the dance, they had cupcakes, ice cream and several other treats.  Reagan said they played a lot of good music...and this was the best night of her life!

Meanwhile, Cooper also planned a date night for me and him.  He wanted to eat at Sonic and have a milkshake.  Big spender, that one!

 we got the food to go so we could come home to the best part of the date...cartoons.  Seriously, if he treats all his dates this way, he won't have too many.  That may not be a bad idea!!!

When Reagan and Greg made it home, we finished off the evening with a family movie night.  We watched The Book of Life.

In the Buff

While waiting for Greg to get his haircut this afternoon, Cooper "had an awesome idea" to go play outside in the nude.  He had the best time running around and swinging in the buff!

 you can count his ribs!

National Fro-Yo Day

After a long & busy week, the kids and I took Menchie's up on their offer for free fro-yo today.  Apparently, a lot of people needed a free treat today...the line was out the door when we got there!

how much longer will we have to wait?

 finally!

 Reagan chose Cinna-Bun-Yum

 Cooper chose a waffle bowl with Vanilla Snow yogart

Delray Beach, FL

Greg and I spent the last week in Florida.  Our first vacation without the kids since they've been born (10 years for those of us counting!)  Greg had a business meeting that I tagged along for, and then we extended our stay for a couple of days.
