Watch where you sit at the Dinner Table...

Wanted to share this Cooper moment -

Earlier this week I took down all of the Halloween decorations and replaced them with Thanksgiving decorations, this included Cooper's favorite vinyl ghost table cloth. The other night while Cooper and I were eating dinner at the table I noticed that he kept eyeing the new orange striped table cloth. As he pushed himself back from the table and announced that he was all done he quickly lifted the end of the table cloth up to his nose and blew his nose into it. I was appalled and yet cracking up at the same time. He handed the table cloth to me proud as a peacock that he had blown his nose all by himself. And indeed he was successful there were two huge boogers on my brand new table cloth.

Gotta love little boys!!!

Let's Go Giants!!!!

Corey get's every sport for Cooper to like his teams except for NFL football. Cooper is a New York Giants Fan like Momma!!! He was sporting his new shirt from Uncle Aaron & Brooke on Sunday. I think he is the cutest Giants fan ever!!! Hopefully next week he will bring us better luck!

Halloween Night

Jeanie, Allie, Jessie, Campbell, Cooper and I went trick-or-treating in Jeanie & Lee's neighborhood. Lee and Corey stayed at the house to hand out candy to the kids, watch football and take naps. Unfortunately, we got a late start due to the UVA game so we only were able to hit 7 or so houses. Campbell dressed up as Michael Jackson and Cooper was her monkey Bubbles. Campbell's costume was awesome!! We only had one minor problem, Cooper was afraid of Campbell with her wig and sunglasses on. Haha!

Cooper got the hang of trick-or-treating very quickly. The first house we went to he did not realize that you had to stop and the front door. He went right on in and made himself at home. Thankfully the little old lady didn't mind and thought it was cute. Around the third house he started saying "treat" and holding his hand out for candy. He still wanted to go into people's houses but Allie and Campbell were there to hold him back.

It was a successful night - Campbell got tons of candy and Lee's sister, Beth, made Cooper his very own Halloween bag filled with Gerber graduate snacks and treats that Cooper could enjoy! Thanks Beth!!!!

Here are pictures from the night -

Four UVA fans put on scary masks and walked around the tailgates to hand out candy to the kids. Cooper was a little timid at first but once he saw the bucket of candy he became fearless.
