A few weeks ago I made a new recipe for Martha Stewart Pumpkin Chocolate Chip bars. They are kind of different but I thought they turned out pretty good. The kids did not like them, but they had fun helping me make them.
Cooper's football team had an end of the season party at Amazing Jakes. It was a lot of fun. They had a rock climbing wall, go-karts, rides, mini golf, and lots of games. Cooper had a great time celebrating with all his buddies from his team. The best part of the day was when all the players got a trophy!! Cooper has been wanting a trophy for a long time, so this just made his day!

Lucy was pretty good. As long as she had her bag of Cheerios she was happy.
We did a lot of traveling the week of Thanksgiving. First we went to Little Rock. Richard worked while the kids and I visited with friends. On Wednesday we went to Searcy to spend the day with Meme. We had not seen Meme since July, so it was really nice to visit with her.
The kids love to take a ride on her walker...especially Lucy : )
Love this face
Meme and her Great-granddaughters
the whole Cleveland gang
Next stop was Fort Smith. My mom made a wonderful Thanksgiving meal....Cooper even ate a turkey leg!!
I think the kids stayed in their PJ's all day (these are my favorites of Lucy's)
Poor Emily, she fell off of her bike right after we got to MawMaw's house. She landed right on her face! She had a lot of scrapes on her mouth and chin : (
Anyone who knows Lucy knows that she is usually up to trouble. This is not really that big of deal (especially for her) but I thought it was funny when I was going through pictures and realized that I have 3 pictures of her standing on top of 3 different things that she really should not have been standing on. This is SO Lucy : )
Mom and I went to Toys R Us at 10:00 to do some late night shopping. I really was not expecting there to be a ton of people there--boy was I wrong!! We did not get in the door until 10:30, I grabbed the 2 items that we went for, and then we waited to check-out for another hour!! It was absolutely crazy how many people were there shopping. When we finally left at 11:30, there was still a long line of people waiting to get in!
On Friday, we were back on the road headed to Little Rock. This time we stayed with The Simmons!! Amie and I had a great time shopping while the guys watched all 5 kids! The next day Richard and Alan went to the Razorback game and cheered the Hogs to victory against LSU! Go Hogs!!
All 5 kids eating a snack. Hard to believe a few years ago we did not have any kids...things sure have changed!!

Again...Lucy up to trouble. This time she was sitting in the dog bed.
We finally headed back to Texas Saturday night after the game. We had such a great time visiting friends and family, but it was nice to be back home. Unfortunately, Cooper was not feeling well Tuesday night and he woke-up with fever on Wednesday. Since my kids very rarely get sick, we went to the doctor and he had STREP throat!! I felt bad for him, but I think he really enjoyed staying home from school for 2 days. Thankfully he is all better now and hopefully that will be the end of sickness in the Cleveland house.
