A morning at the park

We went to the park on Saturday morning for a walk and to play on the playground. Right after we got to the playground, it started to sprinkle so Carter didn't get to enjoy the swing for too long. Video to come later (my files are so large and we downgraded our internet and its suuuper slow at uploading pictures and videos).

Poor little guy

This is the result after the Duke/State game where State blew another lead!!!

JUST KIDDING!!
But I did hear Aaron tell Carter (during the State/BC game on Saturday) "Carter, don't be a State fan. It's just too painful. " :/

During our fun snow day, Carter jumped head first off the loveseat onto the hardwood floor. We thought he just scared himself as he landed face up. Later that day, his eye was puffy and he had a little bruise on his forehead. The next day...
a black eye started to develop. Since Tuesday, it has changed in all different shapes and sizes. The worse part of it all is ALLLLL the people asking what happened. Poor little guy! Carter sits only on the loveseat or couch with someone beside him!

I wasn't going to take a picture but mom told me I should.

Kids Exchange

If you live in or around Raleigh and have children (or grandchildren!), you should check out the Kids Exchange. Its a HUGE kids consignment sale twice a year (January & July). Consigners get to shop early for selling at least 10 items. This time, I sold about 30 or so items and only had to pick up 6 unsold things today! :) I shopped on Thursday morning with mom. We went in search of summer clothes for Carter. It is crazy to think that we were buying 24 months size for Carter this summer! I got some really cute stuff! But my favorite purchase of the day was a pair of Sperrys!! They are size 7 (we are only in 4's now) but they were only $6 and look brand new!!!



Heather (a girl from church that's going to Meredith in the fall!!) watched Carter while mom and I shopped. We were there before 9am to get in line, shopped about 2 hours (1 hour 20 minutes spent just looking at clothes!) and waited in line to check out for an hour. I was exhausted!

Later that night, my lovely husband escorted me back to the sale to look for some toys. We got several Little People toys which Carter really enjoys. I am kinda surprised considering some of his favorite toys constantly make music or "do something"!

More Snow Day Pictures

Snow Day!!

On Tuesday,January 20th, we experienced Carter's first snow!:) The snow stopped about 2pm and we had 8 inches!! Since yesterday, we've gone out several times for short, short periods of time. We started off the morning pulling Carter in a trashcan lid but we wanted to lay backward. Later in the day, he upgraded to the swimming pool. Carter loves to be outside so he had a great time. We caught several videos too! (They take some time to upload so check back for those.)


Our house


The Fam


Carter's first sledding experience

Spelling in the bath tub

Carter LOVES bathtime...
splashing...
chewing on toys...
trying to drain the water...
turning in circles...
pulling up on the tub
and spelling his name of course!

I can't wait to see him in the pool this summer! :D

Playtime...

Here are some pictures of Carter playing in his room...
From falling off his car, rolling under the bed, playing with the farm and random ball toy (which he loves) to just chillin.
