Carson Quote of the Day

Carson needed to get some lab work done so we were sitting in the patient room waiting for the nurse and this was our conversation...

C: Oh, Mom! Your toenails are beautiful!

J, a little taken back: Thanks, do you like this color?

C: Yes, but I like Grandma's better.

J: What color are Grandma's?

C, waits a minute: They're sparkley! (emphasized with tinkle fingers) 

(mine are on the left, Grandma's are the right)

Who needs toys?

The boys played with these suitcases for forever! Reese first came up with the idea but then Carson joined in and pretty soon they were "driving" all over tarnation! I kept having to help Carson do up his "buckles" with the old school straps they have inside. Such awesome imaginations!

Carson's First Campout

Ryan went on a little overnighter with his dad and scout group. Carson wanted to go so our compromise was to set up a tent in the backyard. He loved it!

We made a little fire

Ate some s'mores

and then had some fun!

 

After I learned how to photograph fireworks I wanted to try this with sparklers but we went through them too fast. So we used flashlights instead. It was so fun! Took some practice but look how cool they turned out!

We could've done it for hours but 11:00 was late enough for a three year old. So we called it a night and Carson spent the whole night outside with Dad in the tent and Mom and Reese were the smart ones and spent the night in a nice comfy bed inside.
