3 Years Old and 18 Months Old Weeks 2 and 3

We have had a very busy two weeks.  Daddy has been working in Charleston so Mommy has been home with the boys alone.  One night the boys and I went to Chick-fil-a to play and get ice cream.  We try to find fun things to do to pass the time when Dad is gone.

As if being a single mom for a few weeks was not enough, our tenants in the "big" house in Charlotte moved out early.  As soon as we found out, we started cleaning up the house so that we could move in.  We spent two weekends just doing yard work.  The boys and Mommy found two baby snakes in the leaves we had just bagged up.  Jackson said one day on the way back to Fort Mill that he "loved the HUGE backyard."  Drew and I just started laughing because "huge" is not a word we would use to describe the yard but when you go from no yard to some yard I guess it is just a matter of perspective.  Nana and Papaw came to help us with the move since Drew had to be back in Charleston for work.  They got our garden ready to plant after Drew built the raised bed.  We found a birds nest in one of the bushes so we have been looking at the eggs when the momma bird is not home.

We had already gotten to see a lot more of our friends since we are closer to them.  Millie has been over to play in the backyard.  The boys were invited to Lillie's 3rd birthday party.  They loved playing with the balloons and eating pizza and cupcakes.

I threw out the moving boxes.  Three moves in one year to date is about all I can handle.

3 Years Old and 18 Months Old Week 1

Carson turned 18 months old this week.  It is wild that our baby is no longer a baby.  He is 30 lbs and 35 inches tall.  He is off the charts for his head and height.  Nana says he is going to be a linebacker but Daddy is still hoping for a tight end.  The doctor was shocked at how much Carson was talking.  We are too since Jackson did not say a word until he was two.  Carson knows all of his body parts.  He loves to read books.

We made it to the library for the first time since we moved to South Carolina.  We just happened to show up in time for preschool story time.  The Easter Bunny hid eggs on the front lawn of the library while we were listening to stories.  Jackson was too concerned with where the bunny had gone to hunt many eggs but Carson picked up a bunch.  Jackson decided the bunny must live in the neighborhood somewhere.

Jackson is able to count to 10 now.  He counts before he takes off running or riding his scooter. 

The boys had fun at the Easter egg hunt in the neighborhood on Saturday.  There was a bouncy house that Jackson got in for a minute.  Carson wanted to get in too so I took off his shoes and got ready to stick him in and he backed out.  The Easter Bunny was there for photos.  Our boys just wanted to look at him from a distance.

The Easter Bunny visited our house on Saturday night.  When Jackson woke up, he found an egg in his bed.  The boys loved their play dough and candy.
