Toys from the 80's!

My mom has a family history of hoarding. She is only a mild pack-rat, but a pack-rat nonetheless! I am selfishly hoping that her disease does not get worse with age, because her mother, Granny, has a house full of stuff. Some of the items that my mom has saved for many years are toys. I was somewhat annoyed by her stash of 1980's toys, but they have definitely been a hit with Cooper! The picture above is of him and his Edie playing with the "city" that my mom saved from the Edwards girls' toys. Cooper loves it, and it has provided many hours of entertainment this summer.

Outnumbered!

My husband is a big kid! He is such a fun dad, and thankfully has found a way to combine the kid-fun with discipline when he needs to! He and Cooper came home from Walmart with a surprise for me- silly string! They got me with it as soon as they came in the door, and then proceeded to cover many surfaces in my house! The good news is that Dan cleans up as well as he plays! He and Cooper have so many fun days ahead of them, but I am excited to be gaining another girl in the family to even us out!

July Update...

I am a little behind again, so I will back-track to the beginning of the month! The 4h of July was spent like most summer events- at the river! Natalie had a group of friends from college up, and we all had a great time!
