Let's Match

I never, ever make the boys wear matching outfits, but yesterday I just couldn't resist. Most people don't know this about me, but I have a huge obsession with Gingham (especially Buffalo Check Gingham), stripes, polka dots and toile. I always have loved these prints and patterns and always will. Given my deep love for gingham I had to do it. They boys had fun matching for the day and one lady at the mall actually asked me if they were twins...uh, seriously? She was the perfume lady, and after she made that comment I understood why she was the perfume lady.

Dunkin Donuts

For several months now, Brent and the boys have been going to Dunkin Donuts every Saturday and Sunday morning for a donut run. It has kinda become "their thing" and all of the ladies at the donut shop love them (so i'm told), and give the boys free donut holes while they are waiting for Brent to check out. So cute, so fun and so fattening!!!!

C-A-R-T-E-R

Carter has been playing a lot with his Doodle pad lately and his new drawing obsession is letters. The other day he wrote his name for the very first time on his doodle pad so I had him do it again so I could share it with everyone. My writing is at the top (and in a straight line), Carter's is below.....that should be obvious.

As most of you know, Carter is obsessed about drawing and often carries around a piece of paper or his doodle pad so that he can create beautiful works of art (or stick figures without neck or bodies) and so naturally now Deacon is obsessed with drawing. They both have had doodle pads attached to their hips for the last few weeks and it is so funny, because if Carter draws something and wants me to look at it, then Deacon has to scribble on his pad and makes me look. I am worried that I might get a serious case of whiplash. It is very cute....
