FUMC Trunk or Treating

This is the second year Cooper and Jenna has gone to the First United Methodist Church's Trunk or Treating together. This year we had the Daddy's come along. I was so glad Cameron got the opportunity to get off work to go with us. This is the first Halloween Cameron has had with Boo since he was first brought home from the hospital. I know Cooper was glad to have his Daddy with us as well.
Cooper dressed as a farmer, and Jenna dressed as a vet. Those two were just adorable. We had more comments about those two as we were going from trunk to trunk. I do enjoy going trunk or treating. I feel this is a safe environment for Cooper.

Time for Coffee

After trunk-or-treating, we went to the House of Blend for coffee. Actually, JT, Angie, and Cameron had coffee, and I had hot chocolate with the kids. Cooper ended up drinking sweet tea because he does not like things hot. We just had a pleasant time together just enjoying the evening together. The kids got to see what kind of treats they got in their bags. Cooper and Jenna enjoyed playing with his camera he got for his birthday. Cooper and Jenna just adore each other. I am so glad we have had the opportunity to get to know the Baggett's. They are truly special people.

Halloween at Ms. Suzanne's Housh

Oh Cooper was excited about spending time at Ms. Suzanne's house. He got to spend time with Max. Max loved having Cooper there, but the poor little thing was completely worn out by the time we left. Yes, I am talking about the dog. But actually, Cooper was pretty worn out as well. He ended up taking his shoes and socks off and his overalls off and crawled into Ms. Suzanne's bed. He told us he was ready to go night night. Poor little thing didn't realize we still had one stop to make. At that point, Momma was ready to get in her pajamas and crash for the night.
The funny thing about being at Ms. Suzanne's house was the people who stopped by were from Dickson Elementary. They saw us both there and just looked at us funny, like you aren't supposed to be hanging out together outside of school. When the trick-or-treaters left, Cooper would yell out "be careful". The adults would turn and look at Cooper and just smile and say "did that little kid just tell us to be careful?" We had a terrific time tonight.

Halloween at Jason's House

By the time we got to Jason's house, it was after 10. Cooper and I were barely able to keep our heads up when we got there. Once Cooper started hanging out with Jason, he began to get his energy back. Maybe it was because Jason kept lifting him up to the ceiling. We got to hang out with Jason, his mother, and Marie. By the time we got home from visiting, it was after twelve. Cooper and Momma crashed hard. We actually slept until 10 the next day. This sure was a great day.

Happy Birtday To You

Cooper has been practicing for weeks the song Happy Birthday. He loves that song. When he comes to the part of Hppy birthday to Cooper- he has actually been saying to "Kipper". When the time came for us to sing the song at the party, Cooper got embarressed and ran and hugged me. I kept thinking he would sing along with everyone. Anyway- it was a great day. I loved how the cake turned out, the party was a success. Could not have asked for a better day.

Cooper

Cooper sure did have a fun time at his party. He was exhausted that night when we got home from all of the excitement. (So was Momma) I am glad this was a successful day.

My Friends

My friends and cousins enjoyed playing on the inflatables as well. They all played so well together.

The older Kids take a turn

Who says the inflatables were just for the kids. Looks like Moms, Dads, and Grandma's all took a turn down the slide. Oh what fun!

Video Games

During cool off times from all the excitement of the inflatables, Cooper enjoyed sitting behind the video games. No quarters were necessary. He just liked sitting behind the wheel of the race car video game pretending to be driving. At the end of the party, Cameron put quarters in and they raced together.

Ms. Geraldine

I knew we would get to see Ms. Geraldine at the Walnut Street Church of Christ Trunk or Treat. I work with Ms. Geraldine at Dickson Elementary. Cooper and I both just adore her. I think of her as my adopted grandmother.

Trunk or Treating

We got to go to the annual Walnut Street Church of Christ Trunk or Treating again this year. They always have this the weekend before Halloween. It think of this as the dress rehearsal. I believe Cooper remembered what to do from last year. He was not shy going from car to car getting candy.
