Just the Two of Us

Andrew was out of town this weekend so it was just Carson and I. Carson is my little buddy. He is so fun and I loved spending time with him but didn't realize how nice it is that Andrew helps out at home. We sure had fun, but I need a break! I don't know how my friends do it weeks and months at a time without their husbands, you are my heroes!

First night:

Carson kissing baby Jesus

Second day:
Saturday morning we went to my mom's to get out of the house. We listened to Christmas music and made a craft. Carson didn't want to play with the big boys so he "helped" instead.

We then went to my brother Tanner's (kid in yellow) indoor soccer game. This was a first for Carson and soon after arriving he explored and found that he could get onto the field through the goalie net...luckily I got him before he could.

He liked watching the boys run back and forth on the field. It was funny, when he wasn't watching the game, he would wander and find kids (usually much bigger than him). He would get up on the benches and sit with them. Getting bored and then find new friends. The social butterfly managed to hang out with Brooklyn (4) and her Brother Gannon (6). They were so awesome with him. If any of you have been around Carson you know that he HATES being by himself even for a few minutes, seconds even. He always gravitates to people. He is going to love it when he has siblings of his own.

A hug without his sticky hands, how thoughtful.

Sunday...church without Andrew-should be entertaining to say the least. Come home!!

Holiday FHE

After re-enacting the Christmas story from Luke chapter 2 and eating far too much sugar for one day, we went to look at Christmas lights.

It was nice to see homes that remembered the reason for the season with this awesome life sized nativity.

This year Carson stayed awake (and up until 10pm--which will make for a fun day because he has been awake since 7:00am...he doesn't sleep in-bummer).

It was fun to see his reaction to the "Christmas light street" I think his favorite lawn displays were Sesame Street of course, and a huge snowman and a Santa Claus, not pictured.

Our personal favorite was the leg from The Christmas Story...hilarious!

On a different note: My latest creations

Sunday and Monday while Carson was napping, I finished of some projects. I made the crayon holder for Carson--I need to think of a better name for them. As you can see, I made two holders because the first was kind of a trial run, I really need to start using patterns and then I wouldn't waste so much of my time. I also made another apron.
