Little Man
Carter is our little man. He gets up early every morning, gets himself fully dressed, eats cereal, checks the weather, and then comes and wakes me up. Adam has been out of town this week so Carter has really been the man of the house. We have a deal that he wakes me up at 8 every morning (I'm a night owl :). So he came in yesterday morning fully dressed, shoes on, teeth brushed and said, "Good morning Mommy, It's 8:00. Today the low is two nine and the high is four three. It's suppose to be cloudy and maybe some rain. Are you ready to get dressed?" I just smiled and thought...I need to tuck this memory away and not forget it because he is so darn cute...my little man!
EVERY day is PJ day
The kids had PJ day at MDO and loved wearing their pj's to school. Carter has changed his mind since last year...he thought it was silly to wear PJ's to school back then. He is very particular about what he wears. :)
Lately we have been spending lots of time in our pj's. I keep thinking that we better enjoy it because Carter will be going to school soon and we will have to get it together. I don't know how we are going to get out of the house awake and dressed by 7:30. Yikes!

Little piece of heaven
We made these today and they are SOOOO yummy. Better than we even hoped for considering we used a shortcut..a box mix! If you need to impress...take these somewhere.
Pumpkin cupcakes
Pillsbury pumpkin muffin mix
Make as directed for muffins then add 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Bake in muffin cups. Then add the best part...
Cream cheese frosting:
1/4 cup softened butter
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 pound powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Mix all ingredients on high until soft and whipped. Spread onto completely cooled muffins.
These two don't really go together but I finally got my dad to write down his chili recipe and I wanted to share. Like most men, he cooks on the grill and then has a few other specialties, chocolate chip pancakes and chili. It is SO good on a cold day! It's a large recipe...definitely could cut in half.
5 lbs. lean ground beef
2 bell peppers, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 large & 1 small can tomato sauce
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 can Rotel
Brown hamburger, season fairly generously with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Saute bell pepper and onion. Combine all ingredients and cook in crockpot at 300 for 2 hours. Enjoy!

First Haircut
Averi had her first haircut and loved every minute! She is Miss Priss...loves everything girly, and loved looking at herself in the mirror while Jennifer cut her hair. I had a few moments of sadness as the baby curls were snipped off but she is so precious with her new do!
