In Other News…

…its raining here today, but these boys are ready.  They asked me if they could find another floatie-stick in the basement storage room, but when I said “Sure”, I didn’t realize this would be the result…

Anyways…

We spent most of our Labor Day weekend around here because 4 out of 5 of us had colds.  Last night, the boys entertained themselves with tractor rides.  (I’ve learned that a good way to get a ‘good’ picture of them is to take a silly one first… so I have a feeling I’ll be ending up with a lot of these).

And off they’d go, down the hill…

Gage told Cooper that he’d only give him rides if he helped with the pushing back up… not a bad trade-off since Gage was clearly doing all the pushing (that’s Gage growling like a “mean-dog”… it makes him think he’s tougher)…

And then back down they’d go, again.

And finally, it was a big day for Cooper yesterday, as he went to the dentist for the first time.  He was mostly excited that he’d get to pick out a toy from the dentist’s toy-closet.  He went in having his heart set on a yo-yo, but came home with some pearly whites and an ‘army man’.  Gage was so jealous we didn’t hear the end of it.  Now, it sits next to me on my scrapbook desk, abandoned, because now neither of them want it. 

This is Coop’s attempt at showing me his nicely polished teeth.  Good try, bud. 

Hope ya’ll had a great weekend!
