Special Delivery





On Saturday the kids got a package in the mail from Migi and Papa C!  Maury and Caroline had to go ahead and tear into it even though Carter wasn't home!  Maury was thrilled to find a stamp set, a shimmering pink skirt, and "Girls Rock" pjs just for her.  Then she helped Caroline find her surprises, a fishy toy, a SILVER shimmering skirt, and "Girls Rock" pjs just like Maury's!  Maury did her best to reassemble the box for Carter to open when he got home.  He quickly tossed aside his clothes and went straight for his Transformer.  And they all got a box of Valentine chocolates!  Migi always knows just what to get!!!

Finally!

Carter asks almost every day if he can go to Pierce's house.  They see each other three days a week at school,  twice a week at church, and usually at least twice a week at the gym.  But still, it's like he NEVER gets to play with Pierce.  So Saturday, just like every other morning, Carter wakes up and says "Where are we going today?  I want to go to Pierce's house."  And lucky for him Ginger had asked me a day or two before if he could come play on Saturday.  Thank goodness I didn't tell him any sooner because he asked me at least a dozen times from 6 am to 10 am when he was going and when they got there to get him he immediately said he had been waiting forever!  Ginger took this hilarious picture during their playdate!  And of course, Sunday morning Carter woke up and asked if he could go to Pierce's!!!

?????



  Not sure what to write on this post, maybe the pictures just speak for themselves.......or maybe they don't.  Either way I can't really comment, this activity was all Carter's idea!

No School!



We went to Parties on the Move to meet friends while school was out for MLK's birthday.  We were so glad they opened so we would have an outing!  Maury had a rough morning as you can see (can't get pic to rotate).  She hid between bouncers and cried/whined because Ginger was making her picture and because she missed her Daddy, she was loads of fun ;)

First Fry

I'm pretty sure many years from now Caroline will wish I had never given her her first McDonald's french fry but it has happened and she loved it!  This was MLK weekend when Daddy was away hunting, I let Maury and Carter pick anything they wanted for supper one night.  Not sure that would have been my #1 pick but I do love the fries too!

Tight Squeeze

I have run into a dilemma now that Caroline is out of her infant car seat.  How do I fit 3 kids in a buggy at Publix?  Luckily, for now they all fit into two race car spots!  I try not to take 3 to the grocery store very often but when I have no choice this set up will do!

No Girls Allowed








Owen and Carter had a big weekend!!!  Friday night they went to Monster Jam with Pierce and Matt and then on Saturday they went mud riding!  Carter had the time of his life!  The girls went to get our nails done, Maury LOVES to be pampered and Caroline LOVES to people watch!

8 Months and a Bow!

Caroline is 8 months old!  Maury thinks she now has enough hair that she needs a bow.....I wouldn't say she needs a bow but she isn't too far from having some bangs!  She is the happiest, sweetest little thing ever.  Never really fusses or cries (now that she is well).  She thinks her brother and sister are the funniest people on the planet (especially Carter), still loves to bounce, still no teeth, she is learning to self feed (still loves to eat), and she has become REALLY loud when she squeals!  She has become quite a nosey little thing and she has started one of my favorite skills/milestones- reaching for me, melts my heart!  The little stinker, all she does is grin and she wouldn't dare give me a smile for this picture!!!
