Sunday

Today we had Ryan and his daughter Kennedy (we missed you Sarah and Kinley) and Jennifer, Graham & Autumn over for lunch. The kids had a blast playing together. Cole was so happy to have a boy to play with and Alexis was in heaven with two little girls to play princess & babies with. It was a lot of fun for everyone.

Yesterday I handed Alexis the hand me down Harley Jacket from Julie's girls. She put it on and I told her she was tough. Also that Papa had a Harley motorcycle, and that's the kind of jacket it was. She then said she wanted to ride on Papa's motorcycle. Think she'll have to wait a while on that one. But she did pose for me and have some pretty "tough girl" looks. I think she did a pretty good job looking tough - at least I don't think I'd be messing with her.

She even thought it was pretty cool that her shoes have black and orange on them so she matched (she's very concerned with that lately).

Also, last Friday was Pirate day at Cole's class. They built a big pirate ship (and I mean big!) out of cardboard. It's large enough that everyone can be "inside" the main part of the ship's deck. So on Friday they had their official pirate day to celebrate the ship being done. Cole dressed up like a pirate and didn't have to use any manners all day at school. Here's a picture of Cole giving me a good "arrrrrr"

He's pretty cute with his eye patch (thanks to Nana & Papa), his bones pirate outfit and a small tatoo on his cheek.

When he came home I asked him how his day was and he told me that he wouldn't tell me until dad came home. So I waited...then he said "it was fun". It's like pulling teeth to get him to talk about school! Luckily his teacher is great at taking lots of photos and sharing them!
