Coop week

I am sure that there are plenty of pictures like this one in the world...I know there are quite a few just in my shoe boxes. What is it about children and a cake with candles? Pure fascination. Whew, busy past few days. Okay, busy life...who am I kidding? Cooper started back to school two weeks ago, which inevitably means he brought home a cold...which in turn means that the house gets the cold...eventually. I had been bragging about my resilience. Wrong. Bad idea to brag about something that is so time tested as that. So I struggle through with a soar throat and drippy nose - gross. The upside of going back to school is that I convinced Cooper that he is not allowed to wear baseball uniforms to school - instead he must wear school clothes. He even let me go out this weekend and buy him some new clothes. Can I just tell you how refreshing it is to see Coop in something other than that darn striped jersey shirt, the blue and red shorts and the RED socks pulled up to his knees?? Duncan is another story - forget it. He'll be wearing Cooper's old baseball t-shirt and shorts in January... And if you live around here...you'll know it's been a bit chilly. Which means we've been inside much more. Like right now for instance. I am watching Shark Boy and Lava Girl...?? What IS this stuff? I think it's going to be a loooong winter. But the boys are mesmerized which helps if you want to accomplish anything. 4 days to 4 years old...maybe I could do a little memory lane photos? Let me see what I can dig up. I could do "Coop Week". You know, kind of like "Shark Week" on the Discovery Channel :-)
