Halloween Twenty-Thirteen

I swear, every time I asked Cooper what he wanted to be for Halloween, he would change his mind. 

 

He MUST be my child.  ;)

 

I finally decided on a Spiderman Costume.  I got it at Target for $20, so I was happy.  When I got it home at the beginning of September, I had him try it on.  He never wanted to take the darn thing off. 

 

On the way home, I picked up Camden, Katrin and Cooper so we could all go trick-or-treating downtown.

 

 

After we got home, we got ready and headed downtown.  It was cold, so we rushed through the businesses and got our candy as fast as possible.  I never did take out my phone or camera.  :(

 

 

Happy Halloween from my Peter Parker. 

 

 

Cooper finished out the night handing out candy at our house.  He loved asking people who they were and giggling every time he saw another Spidey.

 

 

 

 

 

One Year Ago

One year ago, we lost a pillar in our family.  Grandma Arlene was an amazing woman and she will forever be missed.  We were very lucky to have her be apart of our lives.  She was one of the kindest people I have ever known.  I will forever treasure our memories, old and new.

Toddle On Over

Each Tuesday night at 7pm, Cooper and Mommy attend Toddle On Over (T.O.O.) at the Sibley Library.  It typically lasts about 30 minutes.  We sing, watch nursery rhymes, read books, play games and even do small crafts.  Each week is something a little different.  Cooper absolutely loves going.  He has developed such an imagination.

He might make a good teacher, some day!

 

 

Reading to his buddies.

 

Good job, guys!

Two Concerts in Two Nights

For Brad's 30th Birthday, I bought him tickets to see Theory of a Deadman at the Spencer Fair on Sunday.   We were also invited to hop on a party bus and go to the Hairball concert at King Turkey Days on Saturday night.   It was a busy couple of nights.

Spencer Fair 2013

A summer in NW Iowa is just not complete without going to the Spencer Fair.   There is so much to do and see.   Cooper had a blast looking at the animals, riding the rides, having supper and looking at all the tractors.
