Bag Head When Carson turned 1, Carrie and Shallan gave me a gift card to Urban Retreat. They said I could only use it if we all went together, which sounded like a great idea. But it just never worked out. I drove by a building in Sugar Land last week and there was … [Read more…]
I started writing this post the day after we returned from our trip, about 3 months ago. I finished it today, which may explain why my description of things gets a little more succinct near the end. I wrote short notes on my phone while we were on the trip to help me write this … [Read more…]
Feeding the ducks We met up with some friends at the park today. The weather was nice and we had a great time. It was so fun to see Carson playing with James, who is almost 4, and trying the big boy things James did. They played pirates next to the pond complete with … [Read more…]
Bed Head Betsy woke up from a morning nap with the hair and red marks on her face from where she’d been sleeping. It was to funny not to share. We stayed home this morning. We played outside, played upstairs, did some laundry and I tried to get caught up on organizing Betsy’s clothes. … [Read more…]
“Stand still and let me take your picture!” Carson’s haircut is kind of adorable. I wanted to take a picture of him this morning before school, but getting him to stand still isn’t always easy. So instead of posting a blurry shot, I “made” (uploaded pictures to this site) an animated GIF! Who knew it … [Read more…]
A haircut and a new van Carson got a hair cut today. It didn’t go very well. I ended up having to hold him in my lap, another woman working there held Betsy. I’m thankful that it wasn’t busy because I don’t think I could’ve managed Carson and held Betsy. I wasn’t expecting him … [Read more…]
Artist This little easel is only $15 at IKEA! The other side is a dry erase board. Carson and Betsy both like it. Carson does a pretty good job of “drawing”. Betsy gets the idea, but doesn’t have the skill yet to make more than stray marks. She also doesn’t totally understand that the … [Read more…]
Betsy She is wearing two items I’ve been waiting and waiting for her to be big enough for! This hooded bunny shirt was one of my favorite clothing items she’s received to date (from Eldon and Dona) and the moccasins (which you can’t see very well) were a gift from Aunt Lisa last Christmas. They … [Read more…]
Fire Hose It took Carson some convincing, but once he saw another little boy try this out he gave it a shot. And he loved it. I like how serious his face is here. We went to the Missouri City Fire Station open house with some friends today. I’m already planning to go again next … [Read more…]
Post Ice Cream Happiness Went and had ice cream at Cloud 10 today with Carrie. Yummy ice cream, but rough to go around nap time! Thankfully even with short naps it was a good day. Happy Friday!
