Some cuteness

Here is a little bit of cuteness to start your weekend.

Steve is holding my wonderfully old, comfortable t-shirt from high school hostage....I get occasional ransom notes...this one came in the form of my son, who judging by the look on his face, may or may not be in on the scheme:

A more innocent looking Coop:

Trick or Treat

Because everyone needs a crazy Aunt Jo..........

It's not easy being green.....

OMG - WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!?!?

Why do I have eyes on top of my head......

Fall

The ups and downs of this fall weather have been a little less than enjoyable but we did manage to have decent weather on Sunday. Since the weather was agreeable me, Coop and Nana went off to the Springhouse for some farm fun. I don't have those pictures back yet but I'll be sure to post them as soon as I can. Once again, Coop thoroughly enjoyed the company of the goats and also some brown sheep and a baby cow. He also was really into the baby pigs which were super cute and not really petable but he still enjoyed trying and watch them run around. Cooper also wore Nana out running through the pumpkin maze and going up and down the hill slide a dozen times. I believe it was a successful outing!

Cooper is also fighting the flu/bad cold along with just about every other kid I know of. We had a croup-like scare in the middle of the night on Saturday night but were able to treat it at home and not go to the ER which was good especially since the pediatrician said that the ERs are inundated right now. We may have a high water bill this month since I ended up closing off our bedroom and bathroom and running the shower as hot as possible to steam up our room so Coop could get some breathing relief but since it seemed to help and we didn't have to go to the hospital I would definitely say it was worth it. This flu season cannot possibly go by fast enough.

Here are a few pictures of a healthy Coop....

New pics

Here are some new pics of Coop while we were watching the deer and bird/crane in our backyard:

Reading a book (kind of).....

Love this pic just b/c you can see how blue his eyes are and you have to love the ever constant stream of drool:

Love the cheeks.....

CHEEEEEEEESSE!!!!

The deer we were looking at in our yard......

Days Off With Dad

So I was off Friday and Monday, which made for a nice loooong weekend for me. I am still working a 4 day work week, so I try to do something with Cooper on my days off. Friday we went Cabela's. Coop could spend all day there!

Here is tour guide Coop telling everyone those are "FISHIES".

Here is Cooper with his new Duck and Hat.

On Monday we headed out to the Science Center....and also watched "Under the Sea" at the Omnimax theather.

Here is Cooper at the water table. He looks like a grownup boy now.

The Videos (Sleep Eating, Body Rolling, Name that Part)

Cooper the Great Entertainer

I have a couple of pictures but quite a few videos (above) to add from the last few days. Cooper is really starting to take to the camera so he will totally ham it up when he sees I'm taking his picture. He's also become really good at making up his own fun games and by fun I mean fun for him and slightly frightening for me.....have a look....
