No tears in the bath! When I told Carson tonight that he was going to take a bath after Betsy was done with hers, he seemed ok. But after getting Betsy dressed in her pajamas Carson ran into the other room and demanded to “stay right here!”. I was again determined not to lose it, … [Read more…]
I don’t have a picture for today At about 2am Ben walked into our bedroom and said, “Wake up. I was in a bad car accident.” He’d been at work late Monday night and on his way home, at around midnight, was hit by another driver. I won’t go into any more detail here, call … [Read more…]
Lazy Lounging After I picked Carson up from school Betsy went down for a nap and I desperately needed to lay down myself. I tried to get Carson to lay down with me but he kept poking my eyes and putting his blanket over my face. So I got out the ipad, turned the … [Read more…]
My Little Pumpkins This afternoon we went to a pumpkin patch just down the road from us and picked out our big pumpkin to carve. I think we’ll wait until this coming weekend to carve it so it doesn’t rot by Halloween. I’m already craving roasted pumpkin seeds. Carson wasn’t as in to it as … [Read more…]

Picture Day Carson had picture day at school today, so I couldn’t miss an opportunity to take a picture of him looking handsome. Unfortunately getting he and Betsy to take a picture together was pretty difficult today. This is the best one I got. Betsy and I ran a few errands before meeting Carrie … [Read more…]
Tea Party The greatest thing about this was that it was his idea. He didn’t call it a tea party, but he did bring the cups, teapot and plate of cake over to the couch and poured me some tea without being prompted. He’s a sweet boy.
Itchy Bug Bites Fire ants are called “itchy bugs” in our house. And they caused some damage to Carson’s ankles, legs and hands yesterday. They didn’t look terrible last night, but this morning this is what I saw on the poor kid’s hands. They don’t seem to be bothering him terribly, and least these … [Read more…]
