All dressed up...

and nowhere to go! Couldn't resist sharing this hilarious picture from yesterday. Carson's really beginning to show interest in playing dress up! She loves her Fancy Nancy accessories from Christmas and Santa left this silly hat in her stocking. What you can't see is her pink tutu she's also wearing and a feathery purse in hand - too cute!

Fort Fun!

Admittedly we played hookie from church this Sunday and had a relaxing pajama morning at home. What's better than some creative fort building and lots of static?!

Bath Talk

Recording before I forget...Carson was in a funny mood tonight in the bathtub while playing with the Pooh Treehouse. Piglet was apparently "talking" to Pooh and Tigger and this is how their conversation went...

Piglet: Pooh..are you? Are you Pooh?
Carson: Mommy, Pooh no here.
Piglet: Play wif Carken?
Carson: YES!!!
Mommy: What are you and piglet going to do?
Carson: MAKE COOKIES!!!

What a ham!

Applique dresses!

I must say I am blessed with wonderful and thoughtful friends! Brooke-Thank you SO much for the adorable dress you made Carson for her birthday! You have put so much time into the dress and it is too cute! We can't wait to see her in it and celebrate her 2 wonderful years -so hard to believe! I also appreciate your unending patience with me as you've taught me how to cut the pattern, pin it, sew it, etc!

Not only do I appreciate the cake dress, but I also appreciate you making the bulldog dress for Carson's friend, Mackenzie! I know it was a difficult applique and once again, you did it effortlessly! Go Citadel Bulldogs!

Got milk?

In a big girl cup? We are slowly beginning the transition to cup drinking. We've practiced a few times with water and she's done very well minus a few splash surprises to the face! I decided to go for it with a meal tonight and it was a huge success! I must brag: no spills, no splashes, a proud little girl, and a large milk mustache! Now if I could only freeze time...she's getting too big!

Never boring...

Jack - completely worn out!

Folks, it's never boring with a toddler! What do YOU do in 3 hours?


We:


have a "book party" in our pop-up tent


turn a laundry basket into a wagon and drive it through the house with baby dolls in tow


have 3 tea parties -one with marshmallows


put away a load of laundry


play with Jack and finally...


make supper for one hungry family!

We hope your house is as crazy and fun as ours!

Jump Zone/PlayNation

Carson and I had a great time playing with mommy's friend, Mrs. Lauren, and her little girl, Mackenzie, on Monday. Carson and Mackenzie are best friends and stay together 3 days a week while their mom's teach. We took the girls to Jump Zone/PlayNation and they had a blast! It was a perfect place for a cold day and a great way to release some energy. The pictures aren't great -sorry! It's difficult to catch an excited, energized little one! We took our hungry girls to Chik-fil-A for lunch afterwards and they ate everything!!! It was a nice treat and change of pace for a Monday which we hope to do again soon!
