Two Sets of Twins In This House

Okay here you go! You wanted a pic of the belly and now you have a pic of the belly. I'm almost 33 weeks in this picture.

We now have two sets of twins in our house. Todd came out in this shirt ready to do some work around the house. Right away Carson went running to his room and came out with the same shirt. He wanted to dress like his Daddy. Not only that he helped Daddy all day long. When Todd was trimming the bushes in the back Carson came into the house and got my tweezers out of our bathroom. They are the kind that look like scissors. He went out back and used them to help Todd. When they were finished Carson had to put away "his tools" with Daddy's tools.

On Sunday we worked on the Easter cards for the Grandparents. This is what he did with the stickers.

I then told him he needed to put the stickers on the cards and he thought I said "cars." So he put them on his "Cars" band aid. Then he thought Buzz needed one too.

We had a very busy Sunday. With church and working on getting the house ready for the babies we were busy ALL day. This little man had worked so hard he fell asleep on the couch at 8:00 PM and had little interest in waking up.

Cutie!

Today I put him in time out for telling me "NO" and hitting the chair. I went to go get him out and this is how I found him. I'm just praying he does not pee. He is in his underwear.

Daddy Time, New Bike and Silly Leprechauns

After a VERY busy week at work Todd was able to stay home for the WHOLE weekend. Yes, the WHOLE weekend. We loved every moment of it. Since he was home we were very busy getting everything ready for these babies that are on their way. Todd worked on the garage. He was moving everything around, getting things ready to put in storage, putting shelves together and moving rubber maid containers. We are making our way little by little. Our home will be ready by the time Carolina and Colton come home.

Can anyone say regression?

Carson wanted a picture of Doggy in the carseat too.

Sunday after we got home from church we put Carson into shorts for the first time this year. He found the button that opens the glass on the car. I never use that button or the glass part. He was pretty proud of himself.

Loving springtime in TX! We have a runner. Carson loves to run and will run just about any where. I love his smile and cute little shoes.

Pretty Tree ... Spring is here!

Sunday after church we went to Wal-Mart to get Carson his first bike. We were going to wait for Easter but Carson has BIKE DAYS coming up in school. We were not sure if we wanted a bike or a trike. So we went to Wal-Mart so that he could try some out. We went for the bike. After about 5 minutes of working on pedaling the bike we learned that Carson is going to need A LOT of practice. We are hoping he will have it down by Bike Days.

Daddy and Carson on his bike. I love the shadows in this pic.

Daddy helping Carson on the pedaling technique. Look at Carson's hair. That little piece of hair likes to stick up. CUTE!

St. Patty's Day Morning this is how we found the house. Following Ali's lead the Silly Leprechauns came and messed up our house and left some of their treasure for Carson to find.

They left green frogs filled with Starburst for Carson.

When Carson came out of his room he said "Oh no a mess." and "fall down."

He liked his found treasures.

Yummy!

Being so much like his Daddy he got busy putting the furniture back to normal.

Cute little story ... While I was typing this post he came into our room saying "Oh no mess!" He took me out to the living room to show me that the Silly Leprechauns had come again. He had tipped the furniture over all by himself.

This is the best pic I got of his cute St. Patrick's Day shirt. I found it on Etsy. Love it!

Another cute story ... Carson has had a bad cough and has had a hard time sleeping at night so I have been skipping his nap the past few days so that he would sleep better at night. Yesterday he went and got his "B" and Doggy and told me he was going Night Night. He got up on the green chair and then decided I had to go Night Night too. So he went to his room and got another blanket and "Ducky" for me. He then had me lay down and told me to shut my eyes. The cutest part was when he would kiss me and whisper "Night night." I love that boy!

This weekend we are going to work on the house some more and get ready for a playgroup that I'm hosting next Monday. Have a great weekend everyone!

Cute Day!

Look at this cutie!

Just a little bit from our day. Today after school Carson and I were outside playing and on our way to the mail box Carson picked every dandelion in sight. His chubby hands were stained yellow with fists fulls of dandelion. He was so excited about his "frlers" (flowers) so we took them inside to put them in some water. He even wanted to take them with him for his nap.

Now after his baths he wants to put on "mama's sots" (mama's socks) and have his hair brushed with "daddy's bush" (daddy's brush). Currently as I'm typing this he is watching what he calls "Hot Dog Chrismis" (Mickey Mouse's Christmas Carol) on his "DDD" (DVD player). He calls Mickey Mouse "Hot Dog" because of the "Hot Dog" song they sing on Mickey Mouse's Playhouse. I have NO idea why he is wanting to watch all the Christmas movies these days.

Smelling his flowers.

Love them!

PG's and Socks

Carson has started stacking his blocks and gets very excited if he gets 5 or 6 of them in a stack. He wanted to show me this one. He has not been big on letting me take pictures of him but this time he let me and was very proud of his block stack.

His new big thing is wearing his mommy's socks. He will even go get them out of my drawer. The sweet part is that he will bring me a pair too. I think it just too cute.

On Saturday I was painting my toe nails ... VERY VERY HARD to do right now. My belly gets in the way BUT I thought I needed some cute toes. Well Carson wanted his done too. SO I thought why not ... we were not going to go anywhere, Daddy was at work (surprise) and if it makes him happy. Sorry no pics of those cute toes in a pretty coral color. After I finished and we let them dry he would say "Thank you mommy" and "pretty" over and over again.

Not much to report around here this week. Nothing like poor Ali's post. Poor thing had a hard week with a sweet kid with tummy issues. Andy and Autumn had good news to report ... no not "that good news"... they completed the work on their basement. Andy has been working so hard and the pics look great. I can't wait to see it someday. Autumn is still prego. Keep going honey!

We started off our week by hosting playgroup at our house on Monday. Wow how our kiddies have grown. When everyone comes with all their kiddies it can be a MAD HOUSE but hey the kids have fun, the mommies get to talk and hang out and really it's not that hard to clean up after they all go home at noon. I must say it takes a lot more out of me then it use too. This prego thing just zaps the energy right out of you. All that being said by 3:00 everything was back to normal and hey there were a few donuts left over .... YUMMY!

Tuesday Carson had preschool and had his first accident report. He had tripped over a toy and hit his head on the side of toy truck. He ended up with a scrap on his head and a few tears. I'm keeping his accident report for his baby book. By the time I picked him up he was back to normal and playing with all his classmates.

Wednesday I had MOPS and Carson went to MOPPETS. I must say he does so much better than he did last year. Last year when I would drop him off and pick him up he would be crying. Sometimes they would have me come get him early. This year he loves it and the ladies in his room. He just walks in there and gets busy with the toys or showing off Doggy.

Thursday Carson had school and I had a sono appointment. As always Carson loved school and even came home with finger paint in a Ziploc bag. WOO HOO ... I love it when they send them home with paint. :) Well anyways the sono went well. Both Carolina and Colton are head down. Carolina weighs 2lbs and 14ozs. and Colton weighs 2lbs and 10ozs. They are doing very well and look great. It's getting harder to see everything since it's getting crowded in there.

I would put their sono pics up but they are not that great.

The weekend was a lazy weekend for us since Todd had to work all weekend. Carson just loved being home and being able to play with all his toys. He spent most of his time in his "PG's" (PJ's) as he calls them. He wants to put them on all the time. He even wants to wear them to school. I think it all started when I would get home from our days out and I would put my PJ bottoms on for comfort. He wanted to do it too.

Daddy and Elmo ... Life is GOOD

SMILE!!

When Carson came home from preschool on Thursday we went out to play in the backyard since it was so nice out. You never know what the weather is going to be like here in Dallas. Just a few days before this we were having snow flurries. When we got home he wanted to play outside and was saying "boots Mama" which he means his cute red cowboy boots that he loves to wear now. He can even put them on by himself. While he was out there he played in his water table and on his slide. It's amazing how our yard looks like spring already.

After we came in for some lunch I caught Carson drinking the rest of my coffee. If any of you know Carson you know that this kid loves coffee or as he likes to call it "cocee."

Saturday evening Todd was able to leave work early so that we could take Carson to see Sesame Street Live. He was very excited and a little nervous. When we came in to Nokia Theater the first thing I smelled was cotton candy. Me being prego we just had to get some. Carson really did not like it so that left more for Mommy.

On our way in!

A little nervous when the show started ... I thought he was pretty cute.

Still a little nervous.

Sitting on Daddy's lap makes me brave.

The show was over an hour and Carson was ready for a break. So Todd took him out during intermission and he ran up and down a ramp and then was ready to come back to the show

It was best that they left at intermission because a guy came out with like 200 $20 Elmo balloons. I can say the only things we bought were the cotton candy and a drink.

Watching Elmo's World

He was brave and dance out in the aisle with the other kids.

After the show we went to Cracker Barrel for dinner. It sounded good and we thought it would not take that long. Well it did take a while but Carson was a very good boy and it tasted great.

Sunday Todd was able to stay home for the WHOLE DAY ... WOO HOO! Todd has been working 7 day weeks at least 12 hours a day. So when he was able to stay home on Sunday we were all very excited. He was able to sleep in and when he got up I ran to Wal-Mart, Kroger and Sams. I needed to get stuff for our playgroup that we will host this morning. When I got back Todd and his little helper were moving things in the garage so that we could fit my car in and start setting up the other half for storage. I could tell that Carson was having a blast he was still in his PJ's (which are too short) with his "boots" on. He hands and face were covered in dirt and dust.

He was a very happy boy.

We spent the rest of the day working on the house and cleaning for playgroup. We finished

around 8:45. Thank you so much Todd for working so hard to get some of this stuff done. It was a wonderful weekend. Carson had a blast and on Sunday the boy got two baths and really needed both of them. That is when you know you have had a great day. Two very much needed baths.

Let it Snow

Well there has not been much going on around our house lately. So there has not been much to blog about. Carson has been going to preschool and still loving it. I have started to see some of the progress he has made while being there. He has started to learn his letters and will point them out. This week he was watching "Super Why" while I was getting ready and he came and got me to go see the letter "C" and low and behold there was a "C" ... he was so proud. Yesterday we went to drop off Todd's lunch at his work ... Todd has been working A LOT lately. While we were waiting in front of his building we were parked next to a piece of metal art that looked like a "V" and Carson was in his car seat yelling "B" which is how he says "V" I think. He can also count. He knows when he has two "B's" (blankets), two Doggies, and two "wter" (waters.) Before I sent him to preschool I was sad and worried that he was too young but now I see it was one of the best things I could have done for him.

Last week we had our largest snow storm Dallas has ever seen. We got 12 1/2 inches of snow over an 24 hour period. I was able to take some pictures of the beginning. Carson had school that day so I took some pics while we were out and about. Carson went out for a while after we got home from school and of course I forgot my camera inside. My back up plan was for Todd and Carson to build a snowman when Todd got home from work no matter how late it was. But Carson would have nothing to do with going outside that night. He wanted to take a nice warm bath. What can I say he is a lot like his Mommy.

Our home in snow. This was about 6 hours into the storm. Just the beginning.

Our neighborhood.

Carson's preschool while I wait to pick him up. The pastor was out there with no gloves or hat shoveling the sidewalks. People around here do not have true winter coats, gloves, boots and so on. You would not believe how many kids I saw that morning with no coats on. The day before it was in the 70's. SO the storm was kind of a shock for some.

The walking trails Carson and I walk on around the canals near our house.

HAPPY HEART DAY!!!

When I woke up on Valentine's Day Todd had already left for work. These were the flowers he left for me in the kitchen. He was so sweet that he even put them in a vase. Pretty!

Like the wonderful husband he is he left me candy and popcorn in our bathroom so it would be the first thing I found in the morning. Two things about prego girls - love our candy and we have to pee a lot. Check out the cute cheesy card. LOVE IT!

Todd and I wanted to take it easy on the gifts this year for Valentine's Day ... we have two babies on the way and hey they cost a lot. So for Heart Day I gave Todd all the types of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups ... really it was a whole gift bag full of them. If you know Todd then you know that he LOVES anything chocolate. I also completed 6 months of filing that needed to be done. There was over a foot of paperwork and a 2 gallon Ziploc bag of receipts. It took me over a week with the help of a busy little two year old. I thought it would not cost a dime and Todd would love for it to be done. Perfect gift idea for Todd chocolate and a no cost gift that was needed.

Carson got the big cardboard blocks. I remember playing with these when I was little. So far he loves to play with them. Next I'm going to teach him how to build a fort out of them.

Check out his cute shirt from Grandma and Papa.

He also got some cheap little Toy Story toys. If you ever get a chance ask him what Buzz and Woody say. His response is too cute.

For Valentine's Day my two boys took me out to eat. Todd was able to make it home in time to go out and have an enjoyable and yummy dinner. Carson was a big boy and only got in trouble a few times. He did sit in a big boy chair and ate his pasta really well. He also loved his ice cream. Over all it was a very sweet day.

Sorry there are not many pictures of Carson. He is in this stage where he will not let me take pics of him and when I get one he is always pointing at the camera saying "no."
