Pumpkin Patch

One of the great things about us moving back to the midwest is being able to see our good friends. We met the Slaymakers in Illinois for a Pumpkin Patch weekend. The kids had a ball riding ponies, tractors & feeding the goats.

Cooper's Top 10

The boy has just grown up so fast, I think someone forgot to tell him that he is my last baby and he should act accordingly. So here are his new tricks

10. Favorite food: manderine oranges & french fries
9. Dislikes: Peaches & mashed potatoes
8. Loves getting out of the baby gate & making a bee line for the stairs. He can climb without a stunt double.
7. Loves music: squatting & hands waving in the air are considered dancing.
6. Brushes his hair, just don't let him brush yours, it just means hitting you really hard in the head with a brush.
5. Washes himself in the tub. Some parts more than others, but hey, he's a boy.
4. Words he can say: banana, night-night, dada, mama
3. Loves his big sister to death. He lights up when she comes in the room.
2. Plays basketball: He loves putting the balls in the hoop and clapping for himself.
1. Walking/running all over the place. He is a true walker, now if we can only get him to keep shoes and socks on.

To go back a little bit & catch up. We moved to Lafayette, Indiana at the beginning of October and now only have a few boxes to unpack. (You know, the ones you stuff in a closet out of the way and act like they aren't there.) Morgan had no problem adjusting, she loves school and is doing quite well. Which means I am having to be on my toes and be able to spell anything at any time.
Example:
M - "Mom, why do I have to drink my milk?"
H - "Well, because it will make your bones strong"
M - "What will happen to you if your bones aren't strong?"
H - "You could get osteoporosis"
M - "How do you spell that? I need to write that down."

She is just growing up so fast. I actually got told to leave her alone in her room the other day. I swear there should be a support group!

I have not done any posts in a while, I am just going to chalk that up to moving and run with that excuse. But this morning I heard the cutest thing that just needs to be shared. Morgan's quote of the day: " Cooper, it's not all about you, (talking about Christmas,) It's about Jesus too." Maybe the true meaning is coming through.
