Who knew a $2.00 bill would make a kid so happy?
Thanks Tooth Fairy!

I LOST MY FIRST TOOTH!

Hooray! It finally fell out. He never let that wiggly thing upset him until today, it was just too wiggly! It was hanging around so much that he could feel it hanging there and couldn't stand it. Shawn offered the tie it to a shake 'n go car trick; Coop said "NO WAY!". Instead he sat in the car and wiggled and wiggled it until he shouted,
"IT'S OUT!"

That teeny tiny tooth is tucked safely beneath his fire truck pillow as I type. I wonder what the tooth fairy will bring???!

BUSY updates

Ahhh...we have been so busy the past few weeks that the blog has gotten away from us! We survived Halloween and the end of soccer season, although barely, I forgot the last game. UGG. Mother of the year, I think not!

We have moved onto Tiger Scouts! Cooper's group has 3 scouts in it. They meet once a week after school. Each month all of the boys in grades 1-5 meet together to share accomplishments over the month.

Last weekend he and our neighbor delivered flyers to houses nearby asking for food donations for a local food pantry. On Saturday we went around and collected what people had left for us...despite the weather he was soooo excited. "Wow, look at all this food for the food pantry!"

The kids collected 630 something food items for people in our town that need a helping hand...quite an accomplishment!



Corm spent the last 2 weeks sick with what seemed to be a cold. I was home with him Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday but his fever never got over 102 and his nose has run off his face...it's since been recovered! He's in fine shape now and ready to go back to daycare Monday.
Hopefully our illness this season will be limited, positive thinking, right??!

Happy Halloween!

Let the battle begin!



Cooper and Corm both marched in a Halloween Parade at the school. This is the first year we didn't have to wrangle anyone into a costume unwillingly! Cooper had a class party that he says was YUMMY...





Later in the evening we trick or treated in Rochester with friends. Cormack learned how to say "trick or treat" and both of them occasionally remembered their manners! Thanks for the Halloween treats from friends and grammy's. Cooper has already eaten it, stuck the stickers, and spent the cash.. Man it's hard to keep up with him!!

More photos to come...

Fall Festival

Our Annual trip to Butternut Farm's Fall Festival last weekend was a great success!

Apple Fest Parade

Cooper had the thrill of the season last weekend, he got to ride in the Apple Fest parade with his Grandpa! He had a great time...

designing apples for the cart...

decorating the golf cart with Grampa, Grammie, and Corm...

And tossing candy to the parade watchers!

In the meantime Corm got to walk into town with Grammie and gather up treats along the way!

Famous Soccer Player?

Do you think Pele's soccer coach ever had to shout across the field,
"Hey, could you get your finger out of your belly button?"

Hmmm...

An apple a day...

Last weekend we welcomed fall at a local farm by PICKING APPLES! They were crunchy and delicious; sweet and tart; red and green; and we all had fun.

Not so fun...

Corm has won the award for first cold of the season. Uggg.
