That Crazy Cora!

Cora has been cracking us up lately.  What a hoot she is!!! 

Last week, we were getting the kids ready for bed.  I was tucking Cora in and reading her a bed time story, and Tom was doing the same with Blake.  I finished with Cora and left the room.  Tom went in Cora's room to give her a hug and kiss and to tell her good night.  Well he walked in the room, and there's Cora, laying in her bed, she puts her arms out wide and says, "Come here big guy!"

A couple weeks ago, per a friend's recommendation, we went to the Applegate Bar for pizza.  We took the kids and dined in, which was nice because we were the only customers in the bar.  The kids had fun playing pool and the stuffed animal/claw/rip-off game. ;-)  Anyway, we had a great time and the pizza was fabulous.  I think we might become "regulars"!!

The another night at dinner, we were talking about all kinds of things and the conversation got to the topic of rings.  Cora looked at my hands and asked me if the only rings daddy had ever given me were the two on my hand.  I told her that I have one other one, but since it's a pearl ring, I only wear it for special occasions.  Without skipping a beat, Cora says, "Oh, like when we go to the Applegate Bar?"

Then...the other morning, Cora comes in our room to wake us up and says with a hoarse voice, "Momma, my voice is a little rusty this morning."  She is just toooo cute!!!

Blake is still doing a great job in school.  He came home yesterday and proudly told us that he was the only person in his whole class that got 100% on his math test!!  He has also been acing nearly every spelling test he has taken this year.  We are so proud of this young man!

Nose picker

I've got to share this one before I forget about it!  The other night I was cuddling with Cora on the couch when she gets up and says, "I have to go to my room for something."  She walks away and returns less than a minute later.  She is watching me and has a look of 100% guilt on her face.  I said, "what did you do Cora?"  Her response without skipping a beat, "Sorry momma, I had to pick my nose."  Too funny!!!!

Another snow day today after the school releasing the kids at noon yesterday.  Probably another one tomorrow since it's supposed to be -20 windchill :-(. It's time for the kids to get back to their routine!
