A Few More Crazy Carter Moments

Brock started school on Monday and is loving second grade so far. Carter starts school officially on Tuesday. We had an orientation thing on Monday, and when Brock came home from school, Carter told Brock, "There's not even anyone ugly in my class!" Whew- I was worried his retinas might burn the first day of school and he would never see again!! I am glad he approves of everyone!
Tonight at dinner, Carter asked what city Daddy lived in when Mommy found him. Luckily I found him, or he may still be wandering aimlessly down a deserted road!
Carter is also pretty convinced that he left his suitcase in my tummy when he was is there, and he is letting Marleigh borrow it. Hopefully she brings it out when she is born- I think we may be able to help her out with that... I think it would be great to show Carter the suitcase he "left" in there.
He cracks me up!! I don't know how he can talk with a straight face- I can barely listen to him without cracking up.

More information on the Wedgie...

I found this at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedgie It's worth taking the time to educate yourself further!!

A wedgie (also known as a "snuggie" or "gotch pull") is having one's underwear or other garments "wedged" between the buttocks. This can occur naturally, due to tight garments or physical activity; this is referred to as the underwear "riding up". It can also be performed as a prank or as a form of bullying; this is referred to as "giving (a person) a wedgie". Wedgies are commonly seen in popular culture for example on the popular American animated TV show "The Simpsons" and in "Dilbert" comics.

Give Me A Wedgie!

I had to add "Pocketful of Sunshine" to my playlist because it makes me smile. I was getting in the car with Carter a couple of weeks ago, and "Pocketful of Sunshine" came on the radio, and Carter said, "It's the wedgie song!" I had to have him repeat himself, then he started singing, "Give me a wedgie, a secret wedgie!" I will never sing the song the same way again! Kids are so stinkin' funny! They keep my life exciting.

Our Summer Vacation

It is Sunday afternoon, and we just got home from our 26 hour vacation. We went up to Star Valley for Dena and Johns reception. As we were getting ready to go out of town, I took Brock and Carter to get haircuts. The lady cutting Brock's hair asked if we were doing anything fun today, and Brock said "We're going on vacation!!" I figure I should take advantage of the days when we can call a road trip a family vacation. The drive up was awesome, and we made it all the way there without hearing the kids fight. We did have a good selection of DVDs to keep them entertained, though. We stayed at a condo in Afton, Wyoming. It was so great to have some time together as a family! We got up this morning and tried to teach the kids how to skip rocks in the pond out the condos back door. A little more practice, and I think Brock will have it down. Carter and Tyson were content to see how big of a rock they could find and make a huge splash. We drove home through Idaho- past Bear Lake, then down through Logan. It was a little bit longer that way, but it was fun as well. This time the DVD player stayed off, and Brock and Carter looked for wildlife. Brock was really upset that we didn't see any moose- maybe next time... The kids made it until we were 10 minutes before we got home until they started fighting. What great family memories!!
