  Cake Pops I just couldn’t help myself when we walked by the Starbucks inside Target today.  Carson wanted chocolate (which turned out to be an incredible mess) and I figured pink was appropriate for Betsy.  I got a salted caramel for myself.  Sometimes you just need a treat. Betsy didn’t finish hers at the … [Read more…]

Thanksgiving Feast Today Betsy and I went up to Carson’s school for their Thanksgiving feast!  I was hoping for a Thanksgiving meal, like we used to get in elementary school, turkey, stuffing, etc.  But instead it was chicken nuggets, pizza, fruit, cheese, etc.  Which as I think about it was a smart move.  I am … [Read more…]

  Driveway Road Trip Since we have three cars temporarily, mine is no longer in the garage but in the driveway.  This means that Carson can see it from the front window and asks to get in and drive multiple times a day.  He has this new adorable way of asking for things, “Can we … [Read more…]

  Top Bunk Carson has started sleeping on the top bunk occasionally.  He gets really excited about it, sometimes so excited that I have to go up there and switch him to the bottom so that he’ll actually go to sleep.  He can climb the ladder all by himself.  Such a big boy he’s becoming!

Carson and I stayed home from church today.  He woke up feeling pretty … [Read more…]

 “Come on, Mom.  This is lame.” Betsy didn’t come right out and say that to me, but I can see it’s what she meant by this look. I wanted to have family pictures taken for Christmas cards this year.  But it’s mid November and the chances of us finding an affordable photographer, finding a time … [Read more…]

  Celebrating Carson’s 3rd Birthday! By staying in our pajamas all day and being sick as dogs.  Betsy was actually fine, but did stay in her pajamas all day because I figured there was no point in changing her since she hadn’t pooped on her clothes, like some other children had.  Carson didn’t stay in … [Read more…]

  School Pictures When I went to pick up Carson from school today I got really excited when I saw other parents in the halls with their picture packets!  Carson’s teacher said, “I thought this was a pretty good representation of Carson!” and I agree.  I love how they turned out and what a handsome … [Read more…]
