A Pony??

So my grandpa surprised us all when he told us that he bought the boys a pony! Can you believe it? Talk about spoiled! lol. They are so excited. We got him a couple of weeks ago but this is the first time with pictures. They went today with Nana and Bapa to ride. Their pony is the white one. His name is Stormy. It's hard to see their faces with the cowboy hats but what can you do? :)

Girls Night Out

Rhonda, Cher, and Melissa
Me and Tiff
Cher and Melissa
Last night we had our monthly girls night out. It was much needed. We went to the Olive Garden and our waiter was HORRIBLE!! If you know me well enough then you know I'm cranky when I'm hungry. Well, he got a little of it. :) We got our appetizer AFTER our entree. Explain that one. He didn't come back to check on waters, bread sticks, or anything. Tiffany didn't even get her Coke until we were practically done with dinner. He's lucky he hooked us all up in some way or another or else I would have been really mean. lol. Just kidding. But I really was mad. I'm scary when I'm famished. Thanks Rhonda, Cher, Melissa, and Tiffany for such an amazing night. I really do look forward to it weeks in advance. I'm glad that after all these years we're still good friends. Here's to many more Girls Night Outs!!

Carter is in the Championship!!

Yay! They won! He did such a good job! It was beyond freezing and his little hands were beet red. Poor kid. He loved it though and tried his hardest to do a good job. I'm so proud of him. He's still my baby. :)

Carter's Football Team in the Play-offs!

Yesterday was the first football game in the play-offs this year. Carter did such a good job! The team we played against was a little "rough". They liked to tackle even though it was flag-football. lol. The refs were about 14 years old so they didn't call anything. Basically - play at your own risk. One time Carter was about 2 yards from the goal line and they were literally HOLDING him. Do you think we saw a yellow flag? Nope. Why would we?

We won so we got the last laugh. That's what you get for playing dirty! Our next game is Wednesday and I'll try to take some pictures. I just get so focused I forget about the camera.

Gardner Village

We went to Gardner Village last Friday. It was a lot of fun doing the witch hunt. The boys had a blast and thought it was so funny. It was UEA weekend so it was a madhouse! I wish we would have gone on a different day but it all worked out. I got an adorable witch hat I'm going to wear this year.

Bad Tooth Fairy!

Okay, so you know my last story about all the missing teeth? Well, the tooth fairy was supposed to come last night. She forgot!!!! AHHH! I was so tired last night that I spaced it. I woke up at like 6AM in a panic - I must have been dreaming about it. By that time it was too early and he would for sure wake up.

So this morning Carter comes in after getting dressed and looks at me sadly and says, "The tooth fairy didn't bring any money last night. I even went right to sleep." Would that not make you feel like the worst mom on Earth?

So I thought quickly and said, "Honey, sometimes lots of kids lose their teeth on the same night and it's really hard for the tooth fairy to make it to everyone's house in time before morning. She's probably just running late. I won't touch a thing and I'm sure she'll come when I'm out running errands today."

C: "Does that really happen, Mom?"

Me: "Sure it does honey. It happened to me before too. (I think it really did actually)

He seemed to be happy with my answer. He asked me one more time before I dropped him off at school if it really happened to me. Then he was happy.

CRISIS AVERTED. Whew! So, just as I got done loading Peyton in the car I REMEMBERED I was the tooth fairy! I almost forgot again. Bad mom! Bad, bad mom!!!

Carter lost ANOTHER tooth

Okay, so I know I posted when he lost his front tooth. Well, he lost his other front tooth last week. Then today he lost one on the bottom!! Does he brush his teeth, do you ask? Of course!! He has - had 4 loose all at once. Today's tooth was a fluke I think. He fell when he landed after going down the slide and bumped his mouth. He's so toothless. It's adorable. What am I going to do with that kid? Tape his teeth in?

My camera isn't connecting with my computer at the moment - of course. I'll post pictures when I can.
