Trick or Treat

We took Cooper over to my sister's house for trick or treat on Friday. We didn't actually go up to any houses, we enjoyed the walk outside. We managed to get a picture of the grandkids (minus the baby, he was inside sleeping). Here is Hailey, Courtland, Emma the cheerleader, and of course Cooper the scarecrow. Sorry for the bad camera lighting, it was about the time the sun was setting.

Spaghetti Dinner

Friday night I made spaghetti for dinner, since Cooper is starting to spit out his baby food in disgust I thought I would try feeding him some spaghetti. This was the after shot. He didn't seem to enjoy the sauce, so he just ate the noodles.

1. I dream almost every night and sometimes I will wake up from a dream, go back to sleep, and continue the dream. In high school, my friends would make fun of me because I would come to lunch and tell them my dreams every day. It can get frustrating because I don't think I sleep very well when I do dream.

2. Unless you know me pretty well, I'm actually a very shy person. Sometimes, especially in school, this shyness was at times mistaken for rudeness. I'm not being rude, I'm just shy!

3. I cannot stand for clothes to be sticking out of dresser drawers and the drawers must be completely shut. I cannot walk out of the room until I fix them all.

4. I worked at Don Pablos while in college and one night I waited on Jared Fogel, the Subway guy.

5. I was once reviewed in a local newspaper. The same summer while at Don Pablos a review was written in the Evening News about the restaurant and the service. They never mentioned the server's name, however they explained their night in full detail and I remembered waiting on this couple and their two children. It was an okay review for food, but a good review for the service and the manager displayed it by the front desk, it was 15 minutes of anonymous fame.

6. This one is for you Karen- while living in the apartment if I went to be before you got home and I happened to wake up in the middle of the night I would get up and double check that our door was locked. I'm still a little particular about this now, just other night I was almost asleep and had to get up to make sure we shut the garage door.

I tag: Gretchen, Tracey, Melanie, Alicia, and Dawn.

Our Weekend- Scrarecrow take 2

Friday night Steve came home from work and wanted to go to Bass Pro Shop. We are not the outdoorsy type and have never had the need to go to Bass Pro and probably never will, but he just wanted to go and look at the fish. I must admit it was a nice free night and got us out of the house. Cooper is so curious about everything he didn't seem to mind. Saturday Steve's parents came over to watch Cooper while he ran some errands. We got his birthday present, something to wear for his birthday and Christmas pictures, a new winter hat, a couple of Christmas gifts, had lunch at Texas Roadhouse, and went to the grocery. I love marking things off my to-do list. In the evening we went to my aunt and uncle's Halloween party. They have a big party every year and it's a lot of fun for the kids. They turn their garage into a mini haunted house, it seems to be bigger every year. I had a little more fun that last year, I was pretty miserable and large. We just got back inside from playing, Cooper is down for a nap and after he gets up we are going to Pierce's birthday party. Should be a fun time. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Here he is trying out his new hat.

And finally trying to walk. Notice his wonderfully matched outfit.

My Little Scarecrow

Cooper is going to be a scarecrow for Halloween this year. I went back and forth on what to dress him up as, if I just wanted to borrow a costume, then I found the scarecrow on Walmart's website. It looked too cute and with shipping I spent less than $20. Cooper's pediatrician's office had a Haunted Halls last night and it was going to be the first of our four dress up nights. We had dinner at Chick-Fil-A, stopped by Target to pick up a Halloween bag for his goodies, then headed over to the dr's office. The place was a madhouse, first you could not park in the parking lot you had to use the open field next to it. He goes to the office behind Target in Clarksville, some people were using the spaces behind Best Buy and other stores. The line was wrapped around the building, it was crazy. We decided to stop by Steve's parents first and surprise them with an early Treat or Treater and then drive back by to see if it had calmed down a little. We went back past and it was still as busy as ever. We had left the stroller at home and it was already going on 6:30 and Cooper is usually ready for bed by 7:30 so we came on home. We still had fun though, we will just plan better next time.
I also want to say a big thanks to Sharp's Dry Cleaning in Jeffersonville. The zipper to the costume broke, they had it fixed, it broke again, then they went out of their way to get some Velcro and drive it over to the lady that does thier alterations so I could get it back in time. Otherwise it would have been later this week. Great customer service!!

Here we are all ready to go. I think Cooper likes his chicken.

Having fun at Grandma and Grandpa's house, what you don't see is him playing with his box of Animal Crackers he got for Halloween.

Speed Park

Today Gretchen and I took the kids to Speed Park in Sellersburg. We try to get together every couple of weeks and we figured we don't have too many good park days left. Today was a great day for the park. It was a little chilly at first but quickly warmed up. As always the kids had a blast, especially Pierce. I think Cooper just likes to watch everyone, next summer he will have a little more fun.

Friends, Fun and Football

Last night the Reid's came over to watch the Colts game. It has been FOREVER since we got together for a game. We had to wait for a 4:00 game since 1:00 is nap time for the kids and 8:00 is bedtime. It would have been a perfect night if the Colts won, they have been struggling this season. It was fun watching Cooper interact Levi, like he was looking up to him. We went outside during halftime to watch Levi ride his bike, it was too cute! He did such a great job at watching for cars and not going into the road. Here are some pictures. Thanks for coming over and for the pizza, he had a great time.
