I'm so glad I took a picture of Carter's Mater cake before we left the house. It wasn't the prettiest thing to begin with, but mom and I worked pretty hard on replicating Mater. But, he got squished in the car by a falling object on the way to the party and was wrecked pretty badly!
Carter had so much fun with his friends at Pump It Up! He could do all of the stuff by himself and was worn out on the way home.
As you can see, Mater is broken, but I love Carter's face trying to blow out his 3 candles!
*You can't take your ears off. Jesus made them on tight, so they can't come off.
*How do you take your head off? Do you un'crew it?
*Why are they called sea horses? Horses don't live in the sea. I'll call them 'nobody lives in the sea.' That's what I'll call them!
*When I'm a grown-up can I drive a mini-van?
*It's hard to walk when I have toe jam.
*Mom, you should be a Thunder Gril.
*Can you 'magine if I had a hole in my hand?
things I love about my boys
*when I lay in bed with Carter some mornings, and he likes to read books or play with my phone. But, the phone or flashlight is too bright in his dark room, so he puts on his sunglasses
*the way Graham snuggles his head on my shoulder and sticks his arms straight down when he's tired or when he first wakes up
*Graham screams like crazy while I'm changing him, but as soon as we're finished, he's completely fine
*Carter's negotiating skills
*now that Graham can stand, he'll lean against me with his head and put his arms straight down at his sides
*when Carter plugs his ears as we walk past "the loud store" (Abercrombie) at the mall
*the way Carter tests his limits (although not always cute at the moment)
*Graham pretty much smiles all the time
*sometimes when people ask Carter, "How are you?" he'll reply, "I have a cough."
*the way Graham gets excited to see Cleo, our dog
*Carter's sense of humor
*Graham's laugh when I kiss his neck
*when Carter starts a sentence with "Can you 'magine if..."
*how Graham grabs my face with both hands
*the way Carter sleeps with a corner of his blanket in his ear
*Although he speaks really well, some of Carter's words crack me up: burger (booger), gril (girl), bumember (remember), and I can add an "S" to almost any word I don't understand to make sense of it
When I grow up...Carter's future
*a magician
*a street sweeper
*an astronaut
*a sign language teacher
*a highway construction worker
*the airport luggage guy
*a fireman
*a garbage man
*a carnival man (but the man who drives the carnival stuff, so he can be a mover man at the same time)

What a fantastic cake...and I am still so sad that we missed the party! It looks like Carter had a great birthday:)
I was very impressed by the Mater cake, I thought you got it at a bakery. Good job
Thanks Kristi. I want to take decorating classes at some point, but Mater was quite an experiment!
