Happy Turkey Day

We had a nice Thanksgiving in Arizona and held Thanksgiving at our house. Everyone was complaining that I was crabby....I just like things to be run correctly and everyone was chatting too much and I wanted to be sure we plated all foods at the same time. Anyway, I entertained Carsten with a doughnut while I was trying to prepare things in the morning and that worked well. Carsten also decided to take out the small vaccuum cleaner and used it in his playroom. Carsten went down for a nap around the time we ate in the afternoon, so it was nice being able to enjoy the lovely meal. We also went to Zoolights in the evening. It feels good to walk around after a day of overindulgence. The lights were beautiful and Carsten thought they were great. He was ecspecially excited to be able to ride the carousel twice. Thanks mom and dad for being our guests. We ended the day with Carsten being able to say "Happy Turkey Day," but Thanksgiving was too hard.

Making a Mess, or Nest

I see this is making a mess, but Carsten loved pulling the blankets, pillows and towels out of the linen closet and making a little nest. He grabbed his Vick's vaporizer box and that completed the nest.

Howdy Halloween

Carsten was a cowboy for halloween and he actually kept his costume on throughout the night. He loved when the kids came to the door for candy and ran as soon as the doorbell rang to look out the window. We also had a boo bash with other kids and next year he will be able to participate in the games, but he did try to play golf and I found 3 eyeball golf balls with him...we had to return them. It is nice to have nana and papa back around and the weather has been wonderful.
