Monday Madness

After a rainy start to the morning, the afternoon was wonderful and we spent it outside.

zooming by on her scooter

 I can't walk as fast as they can ride, so the come back to get me once they reach each stop sign

 they were fascinated by the dump truck in one of our neighbor's yard

 gorgeous day!

 taking a break from playing

 blurry picture, but great smiling laugh

 learning to jump rope

 reflecting on the day's events

 lest you think our days are all happy and fun....Cooper is in the midst of the "defiant fours" ~ and it's killing me!

 it doesn't last long, but man is it rough!

 playing kick ball

 another tantrum (Heaven, help me!)

 again, he's back to happy and playing

Sunday Smiles

Reagan wanted to show off her new dress before church this morning.  And, Cooper couldn't be left out!

Super Saturday

Today was the first day in a long time that we had absolutely nothing planned.  We spent most of the morning inside because it was rainy, but as soon as the sun came out after lunch, we headed outside.  

Reagan and Cooper set up camp in the toy room

 they had to have their sleeping bags to make it official!

 Reagan wanted to go out for lunch, so we told her if she would buy, we would fly!  She counted her money (several times) and decided that she would buy lunch for the family today!!  We went to the Cook Out and had lunch and milkshakes!  What a sweet girl

 Cooper wanted a key of his very own, so we went to the hardware store and the nice man gave him one!

 After lunch, Cooper helped Greg wash his car

 Reagan thought it looked like fun, so she joined in to help

 Cooper discovered the puddle at the bottom of the driveway ~ and you know what happens next!

 sweet feet (Cooper)

 Greg gave them a little shower

 time to dry off the car

these two were hard workers

 for some reason, Cooper stripped down to his underwear!

 here are a few pictures of our blooming flowers

 a butterfly

After the car wash, Greg & Cooper got haircuts and then we went on a family bike ride around the neighborhood.  It was so nice not to have anything on the agenda!

Helmet Heads

Another beautiful afternoon, so after Reagan got home from school today, we went for a ride around the neighborhood.

precious girl

 as usual, Cooper had to smell the flowers

 Cooper wanted to show Reagan all the flowers too!

 how sweet are they?

 they're silly too!

 oh, so sweet!
