Oh the wonderful goose eggs my sweet boy gets.
Tonight after Mallory’s dance class, we stopped at Dairy Queen (since I figured it was maybe the last time we would be able to stand outside and eat ice cream until spring) and Carson was running around with his sister and Alli and he took a HUGE header. In my normal fashion, I waited to see if he cried before I reacted.
His reaction to meeting the sidewalk resulted in a sprinting reaction from me. He was S-C-R-E-A-M-I-N-G.
Somehow I wonder if I knew this was going to happen because I happened to tuck …

New goal
So, my new goal is to try to post a quick update during my lunch break every day. We’ll see how I do.
I owe you a big Mallory update but that will take me longer than my 30-minute break.
I’ve been battling a heck of a cold, going on three weeks now. Started with some laryngitis and a mild cough right after Labor Day (probably thanks to the cold weather & wind from the first tailgate) – and then I went to the game in South Bend and didn’t rest like I should, so I started to get a …
Pumpkin Cuteness
The weather was spectacular this week so I dragged the kids off to the pumpkin place by our house. I’m realizing that it’s harder to take pictures of my own kids that it is other people’s kids, at least when I have a specific thing I’m trying to accomplish…like a cute picture of my kids TOGETHER sitting with the pumpkins. Carson is at the age where he wants to do EVERYTHING his sister does, so if I want Mallory to sit on the side of the pumpkins, and want to have Carson stand next to her – Carson gives me …
Almost 18 months
I know I’ve been cheating at blogging for the past, say year or so – posting more pictures that I do words. And it bums me out because while the pictures are all cute and great and everything, they don’t really tell the whole story.
So here I am to give you a grand update on my adorable offspring, starting with Carson, aka Carsie, The Carsonator, Buddy, Tank.
TEETH: He’s working on the last of his canines (the other three have been in for a month or so…we’re still waiting on that bottom left one!). Next up will be 2-yr molars.
SLEEPING: Carson …
M @ ND, 2010
This post is being written about 11 weeks after the fact, but because it was Carson’s first road game, I figured it was better late than never (written 11 weeks late, but I set the post date to be closer in line with when we the events occurred…)
OK, now that we have the formalities out of the way.
Everyone said I was nuts to take the kids to an away game, but for me it is easier to take them on an adventure like that than be stuck at home finding ways to entertain them all day.
I enlisted the help of …
My Bargain Shopper
It’s been a while since I’ve gotten a funny phone call from Mallory’s BFF’s mom, with a funny story about the girls. But it was worth the wait, because it was a doozy. :-)
Apparently yesterday at school, the girls were playing “Payer” (based on the context, Christine interpreted this as the girls playing “store”) and Mallory was buying bugs from Allison.
But then Mallory came back and told Allison that she had to return the bugs “because they weren’t on sale”.

What’s really funny about that story is the conversation that Mallory & I had that later very night (before …
Yo, Cuz…
I totally meant to head downtown to check out this cool photography spot but instead we just hung out at Aunt Emily’s for a while.
Unfortunately this picture is semi-out of focus in real life – but it’s still pretty cute.
Shane wasn’t interested in hanging with the little kids, so he headed back to his Nintendo DS cave.
And then, because I can – I took a whole bunch of pictures of my baby boy (he was in a trance watching his sister and cousins run around the yard like the crazy people that they are).

Bumblebees and Caterpillars
The first day of school for us wasn’t too special, since both of my kids were still going to the same daycare…but they did both move up a room, so I jumped on the “first day of school” bandwagon and took first day of school pictures.
Mallory is in pre-kindergarten this year (the Bumblebee room), and Carson graduated from the Inchworm room and is now a big Caterpillar!
It was really windy (it has been for days). Not so great when two of the four people in the picture have long hair, so we tried again with the dog – …
Undefeated!
I am so glad today is over. I was so nervous going into it – I just wanted the game to be over. I wanted to know how the team looked, I wanted to know who was going to start, etc. You’d think since Rick is at practice every day he’d give me some scoop but he doesn’t tell me anything. Blah.
We had a new tailgate spot today and we also had very unseasonably freezing cold weather. Well, it wasn’t really freezing, but there were like million-mile-per-hour winds. Well, they weren’t really a million miles per hour but the temps …
The #8
Carson got his fourth haircut today. It makes me so sad to cut off his wingy curls but most of the time they are a fuzzy mess and I just can’t deal.
My biggest issue was the back…so my hair chick pulled out the clippers, and attempted to relax me by saying she was only using the #8.
I hope the curls don’t get mad and not come back when his hair gets thick enough to have the curls look cute instead of messy. I keep trying to remember how we got through this stage with Mallory – and I think it …
