Play-Doh

We dug the play-doh out of the storage room and the boys had a ball for over 3 hours straight!  I finally had to put it away when the pieces were ending up everywhere!!  I couldn't help but giggle as I overheard the boys talking about their "masterpieces".  Carter was the "boss" and the twins were the workers.  Perhaps we have a new Cake Boss on our hands??

Look Who's Five

Carter celebrated his 5th birthday this week.  I look back 5 years ago when he was born, and am reminded how busy life was back then.  The twins were only 11.5 months old.  I had three babies under 1, and Christmas was right around the corner.  Although Carter was a surprise pregnancy, he was the best Christmas gift I could have ever asked for.  He will always be the baby of the family and very special boy to all of us!

 He was really excited about his birthday cards with money and his presents!

 He was quite bashful with the birthday song singing though!  :-)

Happy Birthday Carter.... and here's to many more to come!!

Just Plain Tired!

The month of August has been crazy busy around here.  From shooting weddings, to teaching SMARTBoard classes, to preparing for a busy school year... I'm completely tuckered out!  There are days when I get home and feel like curling up with a nice soft blanket and taking a nap, but there is just no time for that.  I think the tiredness is affecting everyone in the house.  Even the boys are feeling it.

I came home from my class last week and found Carter resting peacefully.  I wanted to curl up right there next to him, but there simply wasn't room.  You see... Carter was so tired that he fell asleep in the empty "toy box" tote.

Apparently all the work it took to empty the toys out was too much.  He just climbed right in and fell asleep.  It was the cutest thing ever! 

Even kitty Boo was wanting to hop in and curl up.

"Carter"-man

Ever since I can remember, he has always wanted to be Spiderman!  You may recall this post and this post where I wrote about his love of the Spectacular man.  I mean, who could blame him?  Superhero status, cool outfit, super-human capabilities...  Who wouldn't want that, right?  Needless to say, I was not surprised to find him today wearing his mis-matched, two sizes too small, Spiderman pajamas and hanging upside down from the kitchen counter. 

Notice the "scary" Spiderman costume lying on the floor?  He likes to switch it up every now and then!

One normal pic...

... that's all I've ever asked for!  Do you think I could get my own boys to cooperate??  No, instead all I get is this!  Well, now that I think of it... this is close to normal for us!

Raise your hand...

... if it is your birthday today!

That's right, my baby turns 4 today. Here he is at his Christian play days program.

Summer Spectacular

Carter was all excited tonight because he found a Spiderman toy at the park. He caming running up to tell and show me his new find which he refers to as the "Spectacular" Spiderman! To celebrate his new find, he took Spiderman for a spin on the merry-go-round.

Mondays...

Concentration!

Monster Truckin'

The boys took advantage of the nice weekend by putting some miles on their new monster truck!

Polar Golf

Well, the temps have finally risen above zero and the boys couldn't wait to get outside while it was nice today. They were looking forward to playing with all of their summer toys and I was looking forward to some peace and quiet. :-) They had a great time trying to play golf with the snowballs!
