Bragging Mommy....

Every May Cooper's school does what they call the "Cougar Mile". It's part of the Presidential Physical Fitness....thing. Anyway, they get ready for this all year long. They practice in P.E. At the end of the year who ever wants to participate can.
First, they warm up and stretch...

Get ready, get set, GO!!!!!

Go Cooper Go!!

It is divided into Presidential Time which is about a mile in 10 minutes and National Time which is about 15 minutes (I think..). So, here comes the bragging part....Cooper made Presidential Time....he ran a mile in 8 minutes 55 seconds....I hope I have all that right!!! I can't even begin to tell you how P-R-O-U-D he is of his gold medal...

Last weekend we had a neighborhood crawfish boil. Fun was had by all.

We even had crawfish battles...

Mmmmmmmm. CRAWDADDIES!!

Note to self: Don't absentmindly put baby's dinner plate on highchair.

Note to self: Do remember how to make that cheese sauce she so apparently LOVED!!

The last of the Easter pictures!!
Not much comentary tonight....writer's block..or maybe a bit of apathy?

Heading to church..

She is sooo done taking pictures here..

The Easter Bunny did in fact make it to our house. SHE hid eggs in the dark, AND got rained on. POOR, POOR Easter Bunny!!

The weather was awful. Kids had to wear coats again!!! Seriously, I can only think of one Easter when the kids didn't have to put coats on to hunt. Davis was very cold. Evidently, too cold to even bother with getting any stinkin' eggs. Look at 'em in the picture. Right there in front of him.....

Didn't take her very long to get the hang of it..

Nothing like candy for breakfast on Easter morning...

Is Easter just dragging on and on, or is it just me?
Anyway, since Noah knew he couldn't hunt the eggs, he devised a little plan and recruited Cooper as his main man. Noah's plan was for Cooper to use his basket since it was bigger than Coop's and get enough eggs for the both of them, then they would divide it up equally later.
So that is exactly what they did. Cooper egg hunted by proxy!

No time to waste, there are eggs to get...

One for you, one for me....

When we came home we colored our eggs. Notice the ugly brownish one in the back? That was my attempt at making purple with red and blue food coloring. I think it went over well, don't you? Yeah, like a lead balloon!!!

As promised, Easter pics in May..
Rubye Ann's church egg hunt didn't go over very well....

See those eggs in her basket? I put them there, she was so busy wailing she never saw me do it...All I did was put her on her OWN FEET....

Here's how it went down.....she would see an egg and point to it..

I would toss it closer to her and she would bend down to pick it up. Seroiusly. How spoiled is THAT?!?!?!

This is how whe let me know she had enough and was D-O-N-E!!

She literally never moved.....except to bend down.
