The Things That Boy Says

Just wanted to post a couple things Carter said that I dont want to forget. This was our conversation yesterday....

C- Can I take my own snack to school today?
M - Sure, why?
C- I just dont feel like our school snacks are healthy and I want to be healthy.
M- Ummm, ok (If you know Carter then you know carbs and sugar are main staples to his diet)-
C- Can we stop by Publix and get some bananas?
M - Sure

Later that afternoon, when I pick him up...

C- (Pouting) Why did you make me take a banana today?
M- I didnt make you, that was your choice
C- Well, today we had cheese balls for snack and thats my favorite and I had to eat that stinkin banana....LOL

Guess his quest to be healthy (have no idea where that came from)backfired on him.

On a more serious note. Tonight when we said our prayers we asked Jesus to bring Joseph home safely from the basketball game he went to and when we were done, Carter started crying and said "What if Jesus doesn't bring daddy home safely?" At that moment I felt my heart sank. He asked me about 3 times and I did not know how to answer him, so I distracted him with a book. My heart truly goes out to single parents of young children.

Clownin Around

Today was Circus Day at Carter's school, so thanks to Granny he looks like a "real" clown :) I can't believe he wore it, because he is like his mommy and doesn't want any attention brought to himself.

First Curls...GONE

Bentley got her first haircut today. Bittersweet moment for me, I hated to see those first little curls go, but it was too stringy. Hopefully this will allow the front to catch up with the back, because she does have quite a mullet going for her. She was SO GOOD, never moved or made a sound. Afterwards we went to the park and then to have lunch with Nonna while Carter was still at school.

Early Valentines

Ok, I know I'm a TOTAL pushover when it comes to my kids and I have done it again. After we left MG's party, the kids were both feaking out because MG got Zhu Zhu Pets and they wanted to play with them. Well, that's what I got them for Valentines Day, so I called Joseph and told him to put them out so they would be suprised when we got home. He was like SERIOUSLY?? Can't they just pull them out of the bag and I said NO, make it fun for them. Needless to say he was not to happy about putting it together. They were so excited and LOVE them. They dont know the difference in the days at this age anyway. At least they can enjoy them for an extra month :)

Marlee Grace's 5th Birthday

Saturday afternoon Marlee Grace (Carter's girlfriend) had an all girl tea party, but wanted Carter to come so he and Tyler served cupcakes and punch to all the girls. I was most excited, because it was Bentleys first all girl party. We went Friday to buy her a party dress in which she chose Cinderella. She was not too sure about the dress at first, but eventually warmed up to it. She did not want her nails or face painted, she did however, get red haircolor on her hair...ha. She was too into playing baby dolls to sit still long enough. Marsha had it so cute for the girls and of course Carter was in HOG HEAVEN playing with Tyler all afternoon.

No Words Needed
