Coop's Cow

Here is Cooper's cow at the Pumpkin Patch, I just loved the look on his face.

Millions of Pumpkins, Pumpkins for Me!

Last Sunday we took the munchkin to a pumkin patch and he had a blast. He loved the rotten, moldy pumpkins the best and really wanted to stick his fat little fingers in them.

They had some animals and a hay bale maze, but Cooper's absolute favorite was....

The tractor! He is such a boy! He loved being pulled by it and kept trying to make the tractor sound (and he hasn't stopped since then!)

Boo at the Zoo!

Since we couldn't get the swine flu vaccine, we decided the next best idea was to hang out with 20,000 of our closest friends at Boo at the Zoo (so much for our bubble boy). It was super, super fun though. They had everyone in costumes and the kids could trick-or-treat the characters. Don't worry about Cooper eating too much candy, Brandon and I made sure to help him out with most of it (can't be too careful, you know!)

Cooper was a little tiger and he had a blast running around roaring at EVERYONE. He loved the animals so much more than the last time we were at the zoo and he really thought the zebra and especially the giraffes were super cool. He even escaped me and ran back to see more of the giraffes. When we went to lunch after, I asked him what his favorite animal at the zoo was and he said, 'erraffe'.

Here we are chumming up to Winnie for some candy (what happened to the honey??)

Cooper stood there for a few minutes practicing saying zebra. He didn't get much further than 'zzz' but he kept trying!

And yesterday he learned to say 'outside' so now he knows what to scream while he is holding on to the door frame trying to kick me.

I went to a swine flu clinic and all I got was this lousy picture.

I have really tried to keep my paranoid hypochondria under control with this swine flu crap, but I am a little crazy and it still freaks me out with Cooper. So I have been stressing about getting the vaccine, whether it is safe or might turn everyone into flesh eating zombies a year from now, and then when and how to even get one if I want one.

This morning a couple of my friends and I planned to take our kids to a vaccine clinic. We went an hour early, but there were already about 4000 people in line (many apparently camped out over night) for about 1200 vaccines.

Ok, well I guess we'll keep on with my obsessive compulsive hand sanitizing.

Lots of Love

Ok, I promise to take some new pics this weekend and do something interesting so I have something to blog about...
