Dear Carter,

Today you are five years old! I can hardly believe it. You are smart, funny, outgoing, friendly and full of energy. Daddy and I love you so very much and are so happy that you are healthy and so full of life! You continue to surprise us in so many ways everyday and I couldn't imagine life without you. Love you more than you'll ever know.

Love,
Mommy

funny phone conversation

Today Carter was on the phone with Natalie and he says:
C: Guess what I heard on the radio. They said there's going to be a blackberry storm.
N: Really? What's a blackberry?
C: A berry that's black.
N: Oh, yeah?
C: Yeah, it's going to be raining blackberries!

Ha! BlackBerry Storm! He got a Hotwheels alarm clock/radio from Gayle and had been listening to it and must have heard the commercial!

circus surprise

Elephants, tigers, and horses, oh my! Trapeze, motorcycles, acrobats, wow! The boys loved the circus! We had so much fun - it was amazing! I think Logan liked all the animals best. He really got into the show after intermission and was cheering and clapping and loving every minute of it. Sat through the whole thing, which is more than we can say for a movie or even two episodes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! Carter on the other hand was excited right away. There was so much to see at times, you didn't know what to keep your eyes on at some points! Tonight at bedtime he wanted to spend some time looking through the program.

uneventful weekends

are so nice! We've got a lot going on this week and in the weekends to come and we were able to just spend Saturday running errands and Sunday visiting Grandma, Gramps, Aunties and cousins. I like not having to be anywhere or do anything specific. This week: last night of Parent-Teacher Conferences, baby doctor appointment, half-day babysitter on Wednesday so Mommy got the day off, haircut night, Family Movie night at school, and then THE CIRCUS on Saturday. I hope I'm not too worn out for the best part of the week...

the circus is in town!

Ladies and gentleman, children of all ages...The circus is in town and the South Famliy's got tickets for the 15th to The Greatest Show on Earth! It's a surprise for the boys (so, shhhhh! don't tell!) and we all know how excited Carter will be...Do you recall a story featuring a Desitin-covered four-year-old we all know and love???
