Playing in the snow

I tuck!!
having fun
Carson got a snowsuit from one of my insureds (thank you, Michelle!!) and we decided to test it out. Cj had to come home instead of going to the gym, so he could play with Mommy and Baby. It was quite funny, especially when Carson would fall. He would lay there and say, "I tuck" (I stuck). Cracked us up. Reminded us of the little kid in "Christmas Story" that had his arms out and couldn't move with all the padding. Carson had a great time and was not happy about having to go inside. I will say the suit was wonderful and he stayed warm and dry. Success!!

Playing outside

Carson LOVES to play outside. He doesn't understand why he can't go out if it's cold, dark, or rainy. It can make for a VERY long day when we have to stay inside. When we get home from Linda's, he runs off to get his lawnmower or sidewalk chalk so we can stay out and play. These photos are from my mini-vacay when Cj had his shoulder surgery. I bought the chalk that week in hopes that Carson and I could play with it while I was home. He loved it! He grabs it by the box handle and looks like a little man with a briefcase when he carries the chalk out. It is so cute!

This lawnmower was an accidental purchase. I bought it when we were supposed to be getting a play kitchen. Carson saw the mower and wouldn't let it go, so we got that instead of the kitchen. Oh, well. My driveway and sidewalk sure look nice!!

trying to make it a riding mower-- in fact, Carson does like to sit on the mower and have me push him on it. He gets the biggest giggles out of it. The other nice part is that gets him where I want him to go a lot quicker.

Playing with Adalynn

Story time!

We had Adalynn over while Shelly ran to the grocery store. We thought it would be good for the kids to play together. They were too cute! Carson didn't do too well with sharing. He always seemed to want the toys that Adalynn was playing with. We had to help him share. Snack time of Cheerios and apple juice went well, even when trying to share cups. The kiddos had a great time playing, and we can't wait until they can get together again!

Playing with ALL the toys

Just to fill you in: I LOVE OVERALLS!!!
Carson loves to dance to the "Are you driving?" song. It is too funny!!
Grammy and Grampy got Carson this truck for Christmas. He can't really move it along, but he sure loves to honk the horn and make the "engine" run.
This is one of Carson's FAVE toys!! Connie and Julie got this music table for Carson's first birthday, and he plays with it constantly. Right now it is set on Spanish, so we may have a biligual baby in our house!
The exercise ball is fun for all. Tanner likes to play on it, too. It is a lot of fun to watch the boys bounce on the ball.
Yes, I did buy a lawn mower with the popping makers. I was trying to buy Carson a kitchen so he would leave my pots and pans alone, but he found the lawn mower first and was sold on it. Darn it!

This horse makes music, turns in circles, and bounces up and down. It can be quite entertaining, until it starts making noise for no reason at all. It can be hooked up the the TV so Carson can watch himself play, but we haven't done that yet. I don't want Carson near the TV - he already pushes the buttons on there. He can't figure out why it's not a toy for him, too.
