A Dino-mite Birthday Party

We celebrated the birthday of our friend, Blake, at the Museum of Science & History this past Saturday. The festivities involved a dinosaur dig for fossils, making our own Apotasaurus, eating a yummy dinosaur cake and playing in the Science Place after the party. Carter (and Daddy) had a great time checking out all the exhibits. We'll definitely be going back some time in the future.

Waiting for the sneeze; not the best spot to be, in my opinion

Helen said this was not an elephant, but a mammoth, rather.


Driving....


Better when wearing the fireman gear

Proof: Mommy & Olivia were there too!

Star of the Week

Carter was "Star of the Week" at school this past week. This means that Carter Mommy had to make an "All About Me" board to share with the class in circle time on Monday, and the board would be displayed in his classroom window all week. Even though I had to do some work from home on Sunday night and didn't get started on the board until almost 10 pm and made a huge mess, it was worth it to see Carter so proud of his board and to have everyone at the daycare tell me how his was the best they'd ever seen. Mission: accomplished.

Progress, ignore the bags under my eyes and the mess on the table.

That'll do.

(Cheese alert:) He's my STAR every week!

Happy St. Patty's Day!
