It has cooled off this week with some big midwest thunderstorms. Dad brought the boys out to play in the culdesac full of puddles...while the loudspeakers were announcing to "find immediate coverage". They loved it!!!
The Cardinals played the Pittsburgh Pirates this past week, and we couldn't play favorites. So we tried to dress for both teams. We got quite a few wierd looks. Especially since we were in St. Louis, where all the fans are "true" fans. There were only 2 people in our entire section who weren't dressed in Cardinals gear. We sat in the left-field bleachers, right behind the Pirates bullpen, and Jason Bay...Andrew's old college roommate/teammate, and Cooper's favorite player! I went down by the bullpen with Cooper for a few innings yelling for a ball, and with the help of some teenagers yelling for us, Cooper got a ball thrown to him! He was SOOOO excited! He slept with it that night. :) 
Papa would be proud of Cooper's new hobby...fishing! He "earned" his fishing pole with good behavior for five days. There is a man-made lake on-base with tons of little fish, turtles, and snakes. He practices his casting with a plastic fish all around the house and backyard too!
We went up to the "Homestead Harvest Festival" on Friday. Our new friends, the Whittles came with us. The boys had a lot of fun. There were tons of old fire engines and tractors, a War of 1812 encampment, bees making honey, pedal tractors, horses plowing fields, some harvest equipment running, and good food. 
Lately Cooper has been saying, "Lets do something fun Mom". That usually means the pressure is on to think of something extra special. We made this craft tray (inspired by my friend Jen) to hold our supplies. Playdough was also a hit this week, and Cooper's elephant he made has become his imaginary friend for the week. Gunner still doesn't understand that you don't use markers on your body, and crayons on the walls!
Oh, and if you're wondering what the scab on Cooper's forhead is, he slid on the kid's carpet baseball field at the stadium and got a bad rugburn on his forhead. :)

You are the cutest mom ever. How fun to go to so many baseball games. Chris and my boys would love that. We hope to go to St. Louis for Fellowship. I hear you about the on call. It can get old. Sounds like you guys are still living your life. I think is so much better then just sitting around waiting for the calls to come. We are totally the same way. Catch ya later.
