Happy Halloween!!!!!

Halloween started of awfully rainy, however that didn't stop us from having fun!! Cooper started off driving Lightning McQueen. (I'm actually surprised he didn't want to drive him Trick or Treating!!)

I'm sure its a surprise to no one, but Cooper went as James. I'm REALLY hoping he finds something else to be for Halloween next year besides a train character.

He did VERY well Trick-or-Treating, and was super polite. He'd say "TRICK OR TREAT", then after "THANK YOU, HAPPY HALLOWEEN". Too cute. Grandma got video of it, I'll have to steal it from her and get it posted. Such a nice boy. There is one house down in our culdesac that puts up MANY MANY decorations. Every year we take pics of Cooper with some of the stuff. This year was no different.

This next picture cracks me up. There were 2 "ghosts" on sticks, and I wanted Cooper to stand in the middle of them. Yeah, he wanted NO part of that, and this is the best he would do. I LOVE his facial expression. Apparently he's a bit afraid of Ghosts on sticks.

Cooper received a LOT of candy. However, after daddy went through and took out all the ones that had peanuts or had a peanut warning, he didn't end up with much. Good thing he doesn't eat candy!! Some homeowners gave stickers, he REALLY liked those!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Pumpkin Patch... FINALLY

Well, we FINALLY made it to a Pumpkin Patch last night. Cooper really likes "punkins", and wanted to take them all home. This is the first one he picked up - but he said it wasn't good enough to take home.

He also liked this one, but it too was not good enough to take home.

He said this one was "COOOOOOOOOL", yet still not good enough to take home.

I'm really not sure why he has a washer on his finger. I noticed it especially when I was taking this picture. He told me it was his ring.

And finally, he came across the perfect, home-worthy pumpkin.

This pumpkin patch is actually pretty smart. They have little itty bitty tiny pumpkins up by where you pay. Cooper saw this little tiny one, and got it for Bentley. Cuz "Bwenty needs a punkin tooooo!"

Daddy & Son

Last night Daddy was on his hands and knees giving Cooper a ride. After awhile, I asked Cooper if I could go for a ride as well. Loudly, Cooper says:
"You CAN'T, you will SQWIIIISH Daddy!!"

Alright then. Nuff said. :)

A Day Out with Thomas

Sunday we headed to Cordele, GA for A Day Out with Thomas. Boy was that cool!! Cooper had the biggest smile on his face the entire time we were there. He posed by pics of this Train Friends.

Then it was time to meet Sir Topham Hatt. Cooper couldn't believe it. As we waited in line, he kept saying: I SEE SIR TOPHAM HATT!!!!! Of course, when it was our turn to take a picture, he was all shy. He DID hold his hand though!!

Just as we were finishing up pics with Sir Topham Hatt, we heard Thomas' whistle. Cooper was SO excited, he kept jumping up and down and pointing.

After we got our picture taken with Thomas, it was time for our train ride. Cooper is such a big boy, he even gave the conductor his ticket.

Cooper received a Junior Engineer Certificate on the train. (Just pretend his name is written on it... I didn't have a pen)

After the ride, Cooper wanted to tell Thomas "Thank you." So we headed back to the front of the train, for more pics.

What a great day we had with Thomas!! The fun filled day sure exhausted the little man though.

The Zoo

Saturday we hit Chehaw park in south Georgia. This park has a Zoo inside, and Cooper LOVED it. He was kinda interested in the animals, but definitely liked running around. The kid's got a pretty good "wingspan"

We came across a snake on the sidewalk, and Cooper had no fear.

Unfortunately for us, Cooper tells us snakes are his favorite. Great.

The Zoo even had a playground for the kids. And when I say playground, I mean they had one slide. hehe Cooper loved it though.

We hit the gift shop before the Alligator section, and Cooper had to have an orange snake.

Then onto the Alligators.... those things are HUGE!

He had a death grip on his snake, cuz we told him the alligators would eat it if he dropped it. :)

After the Zoo, we headed to the HUGE kids park.

He loooooved this swing... and when we started talking, he held his little finger us and said "SHHHHH I'M SWEEEEEPING"

Coops got mail!

Mimi and Pops sent a lil package, and it came in Saturdays mail. Cooper LOVES getting mail, and LOVES stickers, especially these Halloween ones!!

Thanks a BUNCH Mimi and Pops!! Yesterday he told me he was a ghost. Then he said "i'm just messin' with ya". :)

"Finger Beans"

Cooper is a HUUUUGE fan of black olives, just like Mommy. The other day we asked him what was on his fingers, and he replied "FINGER BEANS!!!". I do have to say, they really do look like finger beans!
What a nut!
