Sometimes I just can't handle how cute this kid is. I know I am totally biased, but hear me out. He has a book that shows "signs" for animals and objects. I don't think they are the proper ASL signs, but signs that Cooper has learned nonetheless. Here he is sniffing for the sign for "flower". Are you dying?! So precious.

On the cottage front - the weather was uber crappy. The rain let up for a little while in the afternoon and we were able to play some bags and go to the playground, but the rest of the day was spent indoors. The boys played Wii and Gina and I put together a puzzle. I need to put together more puzzles in my downtime. I love it so much!

The rain let up at night again, so we were able to have a fire and make smores thankfully. The weekend wasn't a complete bust! Hopefully next year, I'll be able to pack my swimsuit instead of my fleece jacket.

Last weekend, my sister and brother-in-law were kind in enough to invite us to Todd's parents' cottages on Shawano Lake. We have had this planned all summer, and of course the weekend we picked turned out to be the coldest weekend of the summer. Yuck! I was so looking forward to lounging on a raft in the lake!

We still managed to have fun despite the frigid temps. Friday night, we settled in, went out for a fish fry, played Loaded Questions and a 3 hour marathon session of Uno.
