Lunchtime Laughs

I just had to post this picture of Cooper.  Craig will sometimes come up to the school during my lunch and bring Cooper with him so we can have lunch together.  It so nice seeing him in the middle of day, it just brightens up my afternoon.  I know I won't be able to share this moment with him next year because he'll be in school so I cherish it now.  He usually hams it up when he has an audience of women at his disposal and today was no different.  My coworker actually snapped this shot of Coop holding a tray up to his face being silly.  What a goof that boy is.

School Days

Connor celebrated the 100th day of school today.  He came home with colorful creations and stories to tell.  Apparently a caped hero came to visit today named "Zero" the hero for the 100th day of school.  I noticed the school was decked out when I dropped him off this morning. 

Caroline also had a good day at school today.  She came home with a "Way to Go" certificate for surviving a fire drill.  She's been freaked out by them ever since the beginning of the year.  I guess she overcame her fears today and made it through! 

I got a new trashcan & other random things

I got a new trashcan today.  I've been hatin' on my old trashcan for a while now.  I did a lil' research and found out Lowe's sells the mounts for the kind of trashcans that can be hidden in your cabinets.  We went and picked one up today and Craig installed it this afternoon.  Sad I know, it's the little things that excite me.

I thought I'd post a few pictures of the boys.  Connor's been sick this weekend.  It started with some stomach stuff but then turned into asthma.  I put him on the breathing machine this afternoon and he was so exhausted he crashed.  The other picture is of my rotten two year old and his nasty doggie that he can't live without.  I just love the look on Coop's face in that picture & you can spot my old trashcan.   

Caroline's Fourth Birthday

Although it's been a few days I thought I'd post a quick diddy about Caroline's birthday.  We decided to take the family to SeaWorld for Caroline's birthday and let her choose our agenda for the day.  We started the day opening gifts before we left for SeaWorld.  She loved getting more TAG books that go with her TAG Jr.  and a nice case to keep it all in.  Then it was off to SeaWorld.

     When we arrived we headed over to the dolphin feeding section.  As long as we have had annual passes we've never fed the dolphins.  It was one of those things we always put off because we had passes and we'd just do it on our next visit.  The time had come to feed the dolphins.  I took Connor & Caroline to feed the dolphins and Craig took Cooper to the underground viewing section to watch the dolphins swim.  The kids had a blast but they were still a little too short to see all the action.  After we ran out of fish I lifted them up to see but the dolphins were swimming just out of reach from them so they didn't get to touch them. 

    After feeding the dolphins we headed out to take a quick glimpse at the stinky penguins before the Whale & Dolphin show began.  After we saw the penguins she just had to have a little stuffed penguin as her birthday gift from us.  She affectionately named it "Mingo" and added it to her stash of "friends" that she sleeps with at night. 

Then it was off to the Whale & Dolphin show which is always a favorite with our family.  We then headed over to ride the carosel in which the whole family rode around.  We finished the day with an ice cream in a cone before we headed home. After we got home we walked next door and she got her birthday present from Aunt Pam & Uncle Brant - a new Zoobles play set. She loved it!  I can't believe my girl is four years old.

  Since her birthday was over Christmas break she had her "special day" at school a few days early before they left for break.  I was off from work so I helped make her a special "gingerbread girl" for her birthday cake to share with the class.  She loved adding all the sprinkles and colors to her girl.  She helped me mix it and bake it and decorate it.
