A little Mother's Day change!

I want to wish all mothers
a Happy Mother's Day yesterday!

Yesterday while Cooper was taking a nap I decided I wanted to rearrange our living room, (which then would cause me to rearrange Cooper's bedroom). Of course instead of taking a full nap Cooper woke up after a short time and I ended up moving furniture while Cooper ran a muck through the house. Here is a video I took awhile ago of the living room before.

Behind the curtain there is an air conditioner that was previously behind the couch. Since it's getting hot I wanted to make it accessible. I'm not sure what I think yet but here are the changes.

You'll notice part of the couch is missing.
I'll post before pictures of Cooper's room and an after video tomorrow.

My own little mule!

Perhaps now it is time for Cooper to carry his own necessities!
(I'm just kidding. It has a few toys in it.)



I tried to get a picture but he wouldn't stop walking around. He also kept trying to put his jersey over his head.

A car for a car!

We finally had a "weekend" (Fritz's days off) where the weather cooperated with us! On Tuesday for some reason unknown to us we both woke up at 8am feeling fresh and well rested. After Cooper laid down for his morning nap we decided it was time to work on Fritz's car. (His car has been parked behind our apartment complex for six months; collecting dusk, dirt, leaves, and even scratches and dents; because the turbo coolant hose had a hole again. Making this the third time we've replaced the same part.) The weather was finally nice, we had woken up early, Cooper was taking a nap, and everything was working in our favor. Cooper eventually woke up from his nap but he sat in his highchair eating lunch and playing with toys until it was nap time again. We got the hose replaced in amazing time. By the end of Cooper's second nap we were completely done! That's the fastest we've ever fixed his car, probably because of all the experience.

Anyways, after all of that was done we needed to go grocery shopping. Since Fritz is basically a kid in a mans body he always insists that we look at the toys. While looking we found a remote controlled race car for little kids. The buttons are very simple. Front and back. While the age on the box said 3+ Fritz was very sure that Cooper would be able to grasp the concept and that he would love it. I couldn't help but wonder if Fritz was more excited for himself to get to be able to play with it but I decided that he was probably right and Cooper would enjoy it.

Here are the results...

Thanks Papa!

So for Cooper behaving and being a good boy while Mama and Papa worked on the car he got his own little car in return!
