i can't believe my baby boy is now eight years old!!!! how did that happen??? it seems like yesterday i was put on bed rest and just counted down the days until he got here.
we started off the day with the traditional birthday donut! for as long as i can remember my parents always had a boston cream donut waiting for me on my birthday, and i am happy to pass it along to my kids!!!
carter asked for some books, legos, and a new ds game for his birthday. he also really wanted a north face jacket, just like his dad. i originally said no, because it is spring, and soon enough the weather should be getting warmer. i told him he had to wait until next fall. well, i then kinda ruined his fleece while washing it with mason's new star wars towel, so i made a last minute purchase. zappos.com is amazing... next day delivery, with free shipping!!! i kinda splurged on all the kids, but i couldn't help myself! mason loves to be just like carter, and the pink one was too cute!!!
we then spent the afternoon at the museum of science... it was a fun day! i think carter and craig are going to go back again and spend more time there... there was only so much we could do with everybody.
(all the pictures i took came out so bad! the little canon camera i have just sucks!!!)
after spending the day at the museum, we were all tired, and going out to dinner was just asking for a disaster! we ended up getting take out from carter's favorite restaurant, came home and had a movie night. we then finished the evening with brownie sundaes, for my child who doesn't like cake!!!
Dear Carter,
I am so proud of you... you are such an amazing well-rounded boy! your teachers always tell me how good you are in school. you have some great friends, and i even think that you like sharing a room with mason.
you are daddy's little side kick, and you guys are like two peas in a pod. you are the best big brother to hadley and graham... you have such love in your eyes when you talk to them. and you still love to crawl into bed with me in the morning and snuggle.
you are still a picky picky eater, but you are getting better.... food really is good, and i want you to enjoy it! 99% of the time you have a pb&j at lunch time with a chocolate milk.
i want nothing more than joy and happiness in your life... i want you to continue to be a good boy and to always value what an amazing family we have (even when mason annoys you).
i love you so very much...
Mommy
