Recently Overheard....

The hits just keep on coming at our house. Here's a sampling of how she keeps us in stitches:

Me: Do you need help with your clementine, or can you peel it yourself?
Carson: I can do it, Mommy
(Tries for a minute, then frustration sets in)
Me: Do you need help? I can help you? (My own frustration is starting to rise)
Carson: No, I'll do it, Mommy. Relax, just relax.
(actually it sounds more like "re-yax, just re-yax")

The next day we're driving on I-40 and this guy in front of me keeps changing lanes and won't make up his mind.
Me: Come on dude! You are making me crazy!
Carson: (from the backseat) Me too!

And later that night...
Tim arrives home after a long, stressful day.
Me (at the fridge): Do you want a beer with dinner, honey?
Tim: Yeah, that would be great.
Carson: I want one too!

I got my wish!

My mother-in-law reminded me that on my last post I wrote that I wouldn't mind one more good snow. Well, I got my wish! We were snowed in on Friday night with about 6 inches, which made for some good playtime on Saturday and even more so on Sunday. Carson really got in to riding on the sled and was excited about using her "snowman kit" that she got last Christmas. The big hit though, was coming down the slide on her snowed under swingset. Since she was dressed head to toe in waterproof-wear, it made for a very slick and fast ride down.
Its tough walking around in the snow with ten thousand layers on!

With the sun out on Sunday, we joined lots of neighbors sledding at the bottom of the neighborhood. The temps were much nicer too.

Ta-da! Our snowman....

When we asked Carson what we should name him, she responded, "Umm....snowman"
