Happy Birthday Carter

Last week we celebrated Carter's birthday. We just had a family get together and had fun watching Carter open his gifts. The hit of the night was his train cake, the train actually went around the cake. He loved all of his presents and couldn't wait to start playing with them. I am getting excited for Christmas when both boys will start to tear through the wrapping paper. It is hard to believe that Carter is three. Carson and I have enjoyed him so much, his personality keeps developing and he is just full of fun. He is even getting easier to deal with his strong-willed personality. Just in time before Matt starts his "terrible two" stage.

Trick or Treat!

Halloween finally arrived and everything went pretty well. There were only a few tears shed due to the fear of getting their picture taken. Our church had a fun trunk or treat and chili cook off earlier that week and then on Friday we went around the neighborhood trick or treating. To say the least Carter was happy to wear his costume twice and Matt couldn't care less. The funny thing is is that I had great time. I loved making "mummy dogs" for dinner and then getting the kids ready to go for the night. And I was so happy to hear Carter say "Trick-or-treat!" and "Thank you" instead of "Moo" like he did last year. Matt even participated (half the time). When the night was over I was ready to dig into the kiddos candy. I am glad they don't like snickers, more for me!

Say "Choo Choo!"

Matt was more interested in the candy instead of pictures, or his costume. He was a cave man but some people mistaked him as a tiger, I can see that, sort of.
This is a priceless picture- Matt is looking at the camera, not crying, and wearing his full costume...yeah!

The "tears" I mentioned earlier. He actually liked the train I made him, he just didn't like everyone looking at him.

"Trick or Treat!"- The boys 1st house of the night and many more to go.
