His first apology letter

Carter had been doing oh so well at school recently and for some reason this week he's had several rough days. Not listening and yelling--I think he has lost his mind-- anyway --so tonight I made him write--well really say out loud an apology letter that we will give to Mrs. Victoria and Mrs. Brooke tomorrow.

Not sure if you can read it so let me blow it up for you:

Mrs. Victoria and Mrs. Brooke,

I'm going to be nice everyday and I'm going to be nice to Mrs. Victoria, and I'm going to be nice to my friends.

I love you and I miss you and I'll be nice. I'm sorry and I'll let you come to my house. I love you and I miss you and I still want to be nice. Love you and I'll give you hugs.

Love
Carter

I have a hunch that his first apology letter will not be his last.......

Bit by the Flu Bug!!

Poor Pay Pay-- she has the flu bug---although her test came back as not having the flu-- the Doc says the test is only 50% accurate-- and I believe it-- considering all symptons point to the flu she described.

I don't think it is the "Hini" flu (that is what my mom calls it --she said some little old lady called it that because she thought the 1's were I's.--sorry for that sudden ramble)

We are giving Carter lots of Vitamin C drops -everyone cross your fingers that the rest of the house stays clear of this-we have the so important Halloween coming-- we have to get well and stay well so Hippy Chick and "Storm Shrooper" can go Trick or Treating.

First comes love then comes......

"Carta Bown " was reunited with a little friend from his old school on Saturday--(News alert: we changed Carter's school this summer-- sorry for being a blog slacker).

Little did I know that this little friend-- Emelia--(a.k.a mela) has plans for "Carta Bown"--I mean nothing real specific-- she just tells her mom she is going to marry him at Disney World with a Carriage and drive a minivan-- but that's all.

When Carter is questioned about his feelings for Emelia-- he simply responds... "I'm gonna marry her up one day."

We will have to keep a close eye on these two in future play dates

Sweet Dreams....

When I think of most four year old boys dreaming of Star Wars-- I would think they dream of action, adventure, dueling lightsabers, space ships, Luke Skywalker--not my little boy-- okay--maybe he dreamed of Luke Skywalker but Luke wasn't being all heroic or fighting--

See...Carter sat up straight in bed last night and laughed out loud-- it scared me --so I said-- what is wrong-- and he said

"That Star Wars guy just pooted..."

Amateur Picture Changer

Okay another little talent I wish I had in my talentless world-- is the ability to FIRST take really cool pics and SECOND enhance them. The below is an amateur attempt at taking cute pics and enhancing them-- I found Piknik online that allows you to do limited enhancement-- hence the pictures below--

Anyone got any advice on good picture taking or a good enhancement programs????

Accessorizing

I find it kinda interesting when the kids decide to start accessorizing. See Carter's watch and Visor-- his idea today and he wore all day-- he has worn his watch two days in a row.

See Payten's sunglasses... she wears them most of the time now-- either on her eyes or on her head, she also always wears homemade braided bracelets like I use to make as a kid-- which I think is cute

For years I've tried to get her to wear sunglasses, and get Carter to wear hats and nothing-- I think it is funny they all of a sudden decide they want to accessorize.

One day I am sure I will wish I hadn't wanted them to accessorize so much, just more $ to add to the outfit.

Just 4 short years ago....

This little boy was born...

now look how much he has grown..

Happy Birthday baby boy-- you have a special way of always making me smile.......

I LOVE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH (A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck)!!!!
