Last year, Carter wanted to know why there isn't a Kid's Day, since we have Mother's Day and Father's Day. We decided that the day before Mother's Day will be Kid's Day now. I found a steal rate in a condo right on the beach area at one of our favorite places. We headed down for the weekend to swim (in the pool not the lake yet!), play, and relax. There are not any pictures of me because almost all of the pictures are in the sand, and I am not a fan of playing in the sand. I'm thankful the boys like to play together because I didn't have to get out there in the sand. I like to sit by it in the sun, but I can't stand sand stuck to me!
Saturday morning the boys opened their Kid's Day gifts. Running in the sand Graham loves ladybugs. They aren't "bad guys."
Racing down the beach
Snuck his hat off
Playing in the sun
Digging a trench
Burying Carter
Burying Graham
Sweet boy
A "Who can stand in the freezing water the longest?" contest
All 3 competing. Carter was always the winner!
Every now and then a large boat would give them a few little waves.
Unfortunately, this is how the weekend ended. About 2 in the morning on Sunday Carter started throwing up. Poor guy.
Great pictures. I love the one of Carter running on the beach and the one of Graham holding the ladybug. I'm glad your first annual Kids Day was fun. Not get some rest. It's Mothers Day!
Such great pictures of your sweet boys...and memories too! Too bad that Carter got sick...you just never know when the yuck is going to happen and why is it always in the middle of the night?!?!? Happy belated Mother's Day to YOU!
*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)

It looks like you all had a great weekend away! Hope Carter is feeling better and that the rest of you all stay well.
