Monkey See, Monkey Do

All of the big kids were drawing outlines of each other with chalk, so Carson decided to get in on the fun too. Of course, Morgan included him as always! Such a good big sister...

Finally...

So I finally gave in to a sandbox for Carson. Not that he was begging or anything (that would require him to talk which he refuses to do), but we all just knew how much he would love it after seeing him on the beach and in a couple other sandboxes. But in the backyard? Everyday? When was the last time we were able to skip a bath? It's going to be awhile!

You will be so proud - the sand cost more than the sandbox! Found it for $2 at a garage sale.

Just had to post this picture...

Balloon Festival

At the last minute today we decided to go join the 80,000 other people that go to the Plano Balloon Fest. We are normally too cheap to actually go to the festival, but rather see what we can at a nearby park. So first I see (fried I assume) turkey legs...Yummy. Well, that line was waaaaaaay too long. So then I see grilled (and buttered) corn on the cob. This line was long too...but we stuck it out only to get to the front of the line and realize that one ear was $5! So yes, we all shared one. Well, actually Carson and Morgan shared one and Chris and I never got any. I guess Carson liked it...







Yes, we had a funnel cake (I thought they were called elephant ears) too. Only fruits and veggies to eat tomorrow!!

So very different...

So those of you that know Morgan know that she is near deathly afraid of dogs...Which is just fine with us since we will NEVER have one at our house! But then there is Carson, who must get his fix when people bring their dogs to the park, soccer games, etc. This will have to be enough for him!





And I know Morgan needs some face time on this blog too, but all of the pictures I took of her at soccer today (it was even picture day) have so many other kids in them! Not sure if everyone wants their photo out here...

THE Bed.....

Okay, here are pictures of the bed! Still can't believe we bought it...But how could you resist? He is sleeping perfectly in it at night, but there is still some confusion during nap time about whether it is time to sleep, or play...with the door, the gate, or the bed.

My baby?

Where Carson started his nap today.

The rug where I found Carson crying after his nap today.

Carson asleep tonight in his new bed. Where did my baby boy go?

Go Cubs Go!

Aunt Cathy got the kids Cubs t-shirts when we were in Michigan in July. Chris told me that we better wash them a lot right away so that when the Cubs win the World Series no one will think we just jumped on the bandwagon and bought new shirts!!
