Mallory did the Shamrocks & Shenanigans race again this year – but this year she upgraded to the Kids’ 1K race, and Carson did the Kids Dash.
Carson talked about it ALL WEEK, asking us constantly “WHEN DO I GET TO DO MY WACE????”.
He was also pretty excited to do it with his buddy, Becca. Becca just turned three. Carson looks like a giant compared to her. Carson was concerned that Becca didn’t have “fast runner shoes” like he did (she had regular boring pink & brown tennis shoes, not white & blue like his).
They lined the kids …

Mallory’s First Book Report
Mallory loves school. She loves her friends and learning. She loves gym class day, but loves art class day more (much to Rick’s dismay). She loves riding the bus. And she loves grabbing her folder out of her backpack and showing us everything she did at school that day.
On Tuesday, she pulled out her folder and showed me that she had to do a book report. She’d picked out a book about bears, and had a list of questions she could use to come up with three details that she learned from the book. She chose:
How does your animal take …
My Tiger
This is how I found Carson asleep tonight when we came upstairs to check on him.
I think someone is ready for baseball season to hurry up and get here.
I am CARSON
Coming home from school the other day, Carson & I had a conversation that involved me asking what he did, like what his job was.
He told me: “I pway (play) with my sis.”
Yes you do, Carson.
Unless, of course, you are grumpy. Then stuff like this happens (a day later, on the way to swim class):
MCB: “Carson, you are a GOOFBALL!” CWB: “I am NOT a GOOSE BALL! I am CARSON!” MCB (laughing): “You are a goofball” CWB: “No I am NOT. I am CARSON. …
Happy Birthday Coops!
Last year when we got close to Cooper’s birthday, I told Mallory we could do a dog-safe cake for him. We got busy and it didn’t happen in 2011. I knew I couldn’t not do it again this year, so we made Coops a peanut butter-carrot-honey-egg cake (with cottage cheese frosting).
Mallory did the garnishes with the cut up carrots. She wanted to use seven candles, but I didn’t really want to use our fancy cake candles in this gross cake, so we went with a single orange twirly candle (to match the orange carrots). It was almost as though …
A downside
The downside to your kid learning how to read is when you are enjoying a cold drink out of this glass, and your 5-yr old asks “Mom, what does that say? Big-something-beer?”
Nice.
Hockey Guys
I got invited to play hockey guys tonight. Carson had the guys all lined up and I started to set my goalie up and he said “no! Dey are going in da wockerroom wight now.”
I had to beg to be the team with the #30 goalie but Carson wanted to be the yellow team.
Blah.
