Cooper's spring break

We started our weekend off going to the Emporia St. Patrick's Day parade. On the way downtown, we stopped to grab some lunch, and then had a picnic in the back of the van while we waited for the parade to start. Cooper ate his lunch, and then waited anxiously for the parade to start. The Worrel family joined us and we all watched the parade together.

On Monday, I had a Dr. appointment (nothing really to report....just the normal). I dropped Cooper off with Grandma and Aunt Chantal while I went to the appointment and ran some errands. I picked Cooper up around 11am and headed home. I decided to stop at the park for a few minutes to play before we went home for lunch. Cooper ran around and played for about 20 min. before we headed home.
When we got home I ran in the house and made some PB&J, packed some Cheetos, and a rice-crispy treat. The weather was so nice, so Cooper and I had a picnic in the front yard. Cooper LOVED it. He was so excited to see what was in his little bag.After lunch and a nap, we came back outside and played some "garf" and had a popsicle. Cooper and mommy stayed outside until daddy got home from work a little after 5. Then we all went on about a 1.5 mile walk.

On Wednesday, I met mom and Cori in Eldorado to give Cooper to them. Cooper had been excited for 2 weeks that he was getting to go stay with grandma. He would say, "I am going to go, bowling, skating, and dancing." We are not exactly sure where he got the skating and dancing, but we knew he would probably get to go bowling. On Wed. when I met them, Aunt Cori and Uncle Luke were going to take him to a WSU baseball game. Cooper was very excited and had to take his baseball glove with him (Cori has pictures, but I have not gotten them yet).

Mom and Cooper had a very busy day on Thursday. They went to the park and played.

Mom thought about taking him skating, but figured he would loose interest pretty quickly and decided to just go to Target and buy him some. So he got to skate in the driveway.

Finally they got to go bowling. Cooper is getting very independent and wanted to do everything by himself.

Cooper loves to watch Shrek when he is at grandma and grandpa's house. He doesn't have that movie at home. However, grandma's DVD player in the living room does not work so Cooper gets to watch it (over and over) on the portable DVD player that they have.
