cleanup Carson style

I asked Carson to hang up his clothes when we got home from church the other day.  This isn’t exactly how I meant for him to do it.  Who really needs hangers anyway??

a belated Easter picture

On Easter Carson was sick, and the girls were at Grandma’s having a sleep over with cousins.  So, we had to try again the next week.

Love these little cuties!!

a little more celebration

After the friend party, we headed home for a party with the Grandma’s and Grandpa’s.  Carson was pretty excited for it to finally be present time.

He requested “a cake with cars that I can have.”

a little celebration

Carson decided that because he was turning 6, he needed to have an official birthday party with friends.   As this was my first party with little boys, and I was feeling a little puzzled about what do with them for a few hours, we decided to celebrate at Blast Off.

Carson had so much fun playing with his friends.  It amazes me how much energy these little boys have when they get together.

This lady had plenty of fun.  We invited a friend for her to play with, so she wouldn’t be stuck with the boys.

Cooper wanted to look, but not get in.  He mostly loved running after all the balls and throwing them.

He looks like he is up to no good.

After a lot of stealing from other tables, Grandma broke down and got this boy his own bag of cheetos.

little boys

These cute little boys have been harvesting my carrots (that I never got around to picking last year.)  It cracks me up how dirty they can get in such a short amount of time.

Cooper has been loving the freedom of roaming all over the back yard.  You can’t see his mouth very well, but it is covered with mud, he must have been sampling some dirt.

What I can’t believe it that my baby boy is getting big enough to play with the big boys.  I am pretty sure the big boys are disliking that fact, just as much as I am.

Easter

The Easter Bunny came to our house in the evening this year.  Because we have church at 9 in the morning and the two sisters were having a girl cousin sleepover at grandma’s house, that was pretty much our best option. 

Cooper was just in it for the candy.

It was even nice enough to look for some eggs outside this year.

Easter Eggs

While the cousins were visiting, we decided to decorate the Easter eggs.  I always like when we can do it in Grandpa’s shop and not worry about the mess quite as much.

The whole crew.

Cooper wanted to play with them like they were balls.

Miss Brinley WOULD NOT look at me to give me a picture.

Grandpa was nice to keep Cooper busy, he was destroying the eggs.

Carson and Brinley didn’t last very long with the dying of the eggs.

Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for letting us make a sizeable mess in the shop.  Well see if they are up for it again next year.
