A Beautiful Summer, I Mean Winter Day


We met some new friends in the park this morning. The kids had a great time building "fairy houses," throwing leaves and digging in the dirt.  We moms had a great time talking about Australia and reminiscing about home.  At one point the other kids were telling us that they were heading to Singapore after their month in Sydney.  Coop put up his hands and said, "Wait! Hold it for a second! That is where my dad is!"  It was so cute!  And it was so cool that he finally has finally met an age-mate that knows what Singapore is!  Coop then suggested a trip to Starbucks (that's my boy!).  After finishing up our drinks, we went back to the park to find the possum that lives there.  Our friends called him, "Fuzzy Bums."  We did not get to see Fuzzy Bums, but I am sure we will try again soon.

Here are some pics of the boys. 






 We came home and painted on the porch in the sunshine. I think Coop painted 10 pictures most of which were completely black.... :)  The dogs joined us on the porch to enjoy the sun as well.  




 Cooper decided to make "No Smoking" signs to hang all over the apartment. He is really bothered by all the smokers here. He says, "It is bad for the animals."  The other day he saw a pile of cigarette butts on the street and said, "Hey Mom, there are a bunch of orange things on the ground over there all together like a family."  Too funny.




And to top off the day, I baked a favorite of mine- Holland cookies.  I did it with conversions and everything! They were perfectly delicious!

I am so proud.
