November

This month has been a busy one, so I apologize for not blogging as I usually do. Here are some of the goings-on lately....

Grandma and Grandpa S. are here for the winter to visit all the grandkids. We had a big birthday party (for Grandma) and she gave all the kids a present. Crash-up cars all around! It was wild and NOISY, but lots of fun.

Carson hasn't seen these grandparents very often since they've been living out of state, so he needs a little time to get warmed up.

Daddy is a great playground! (Mommies don't get themselves into these situations!)

Carson loves to sit on the barstools like a big guy. (Don't worry--he's strapped in.) He would much rather be up there like Spencer than have to sit in his high chair.

Spencer duded himself up like this and called himself a "knight in shining armor." That white sash around his waist is made of toilet paper. (He's so practical.)

Carson is starting to get into dress-up too. He's quite a little cook!

Here's me wearing my new outfit for church. I got my hair highlighted with red and blonde recently. Spencer stared at me for the first couple of days and then said, "Mom, next time I want RAINBOW hair!"

Carson suddenly loves to play cowboy. He wears this big hat, holds his horse facing him, and walks very slowly around the house. Not exactly the Lone Ranger, but he's cute anyway!

Spencer made this Indian headdress at preschool just before Thanksgiving. His teacher read the story of "Stone Soup," and then they ate soup for their snack. She said most of the kids were not interested in soup, but Spencer told her she was an even better cook than Mommy, and she was the best cook in the whole world! She offered him extra cookies.

Carson has to do/be everything that Spencer does. Maybe we'll call him Little Squishy Cheeks.
