Good night!

Spelling

He spelled whale, cat, dog, and dad all by himself!

Trains!

Today we visited the Durham. Carter is only interested in the train part, so it's a short, but sweet visit. We watched trains, rode the rails, and used levers to move train wheels. All together a good morning.

Reading with Carter J

Just a little night time story from Carter J.

It's been awhile . . . . I know, my mom told me :)

So, it's been a few months, but I'll try to do better :)

The winter in Nebraska has been SO mild. There were several days in the 60s in January for goodness sake! While we truely enjoyed getting outside and going to the park, it really isn't winter without a good storm. So, as the weathermen were forecasting "snowmagedon" on Friday we got ready to hunker down. Carter has never been much for the snow, but it was so fluffy and it was in the upper 30s and we convinced him to get out. He LOVED it.

He got to "scoop" snow.


Help with the snowman and throw snowballs at mama.


AND even do a little sledding! (He hasn't touched this sled since dad accidentally dumped him out of it at 1)


We ended the afternoon in the backyard with a little more scooping!

State Parks

On this beautiful Fall day we decided to visit Platte River State Park and Schramm State Park. Carter had such a great time running through the "forest."

This is pure joy people!

Along the way he collected lots of sticks.

And listened for the "monkeys throwing coconuts."

All in all it was a great fall morning.

New landscaping

You probably can't tell from this picture, but we got new, amazing new landscaping. Carter just had to check it out and explore it all the first night.
