"I made a mess!"

This week Carter visited the fire station.

He was really excited to get in the fire truck.  But once he actually got in there he was a little overwhelmed.

"Hmmm......which one do I want to drive today?"

Jr Fireman Carter

The nice firemen at the fire station gave Carter a coloring book and some crayons.  I guess Carter got hungry on the drive home.
Apparently yellow is the yummiest color.

Giant puddle, stick, no shoes.....can life get any better?

Yes it can!!

Our first forced purchase as parents.
Carter broke the $5 jar of jelly beans.

Movie night with some friends.
By 11:30 p.m. Carter still hadn't crashed, but was awfully close.

Carter's new pet fish.  Yet to be named.

Carter:  "[Yo] ho ho!"

Well he's got all the toys put away, but where do we put his laundry?

Today was a very talkative day for Carter.
This morning he helped Daddy make breakfast, during which he said "I made a mess" (first long sentence!) and "I did it!"
We also had Stake Conference today.  When the last speaker finished he shouted out "All done!"
Then when the choir started singing the closing hymn, he repeatedly said "Oh goodness!" while putting his hand to his mouth.  Our neighboring church-goers had quite the laugh.

Can't tell who is winning.
