Halloween

Halloween was great this year. Cooper had a great time trick-or-treating and handing out candy. 

The day started at school with a parade and a Halloween Party. Cooper dressed up as a pirate for school (it was so hot on Halloween we decided it would be better for him to go in something a little cooler then his Tigger outfit).

We practiced sounding like pirate before he left for school. He had, "ARGH!" down pretty good.

For trick-or-treating Cooper dressed up as Tigger.

With a quick goodbye for me...

Cooper and Chris took off down the street to gather candy.

Cooper did really well, he said trick-or-treat and thank you at all the houses he went to.  He only had problems when people would hold out their basket of candy for Cooper to take a piece and put in his bag. Cooper couldn't hold back and often took more than just one piece.

When Chris and Cooper got back home Cooper had a great time hanging out candy. He would say treat-or-trick to everyone who came to our door and said thank you when they turned around to leave. All in all it was a great day.

Yesterday, Chris was driving home from daycare with Cooper when Cooper told Chris to, "Turn Here! Go this way to the French Toast House!"

Funny thing is that he was right. He knows exactly where it is that we go to for breakfast on Sunday mornings and Cooper thinks they have the best French Toast in town.

We were going through some flash cards with Cooper last night (he loves flash cards, we have all kinds of them, 1, 2, 3’s, a, b, c’s, animals, insects, dinosaurs, space, states, and landmarks) and we came across a picture of the White House. Chris asked, “What’s this?” Cooper said, “Obama’s House!”

 

So there you have it. No need for the election. Cooper has made his mind up and you can't argue with an almost 3 year old.

Jaipur is finally finished and keeping us warm at night.

This is the largest quilt I have ever made and even though it has it's fair share of mistakes I am really happy with how it turned out.

We are also surprised at how warm this quilt is.

Next up another weekend quilt (honestly it is almost finished) and then a quilt for Cooper for his birthday.

Yesterday we went to the Pumpkin Patch. We had a great time despite the cold, misty weather.

We started out at the wooden train.

Then it was off to the hay bale maze.

Cooper preferred the walking on top of the bales method to the walking through the maze method.
