First flag football game of the season

The other team had only 4 players but they were big kids! We decided to play 4 instead of 5 to be fair. Sharks lost this one. This is Carson playing center. Next week!



This is what the littles do while the game is going on. Pick clover...






...and pick the bark off of a pine tree.




Dinner and a movie with Carson

Maybe the first, definitely one of the few times he's had sushi? He called a Philadelphia roll "the love of his life." Having fun with the chopsticks.












Now off to see The Hobbit!

Typical bedtime right now

I'm totally regretting all those times I said bedtime wasn't really a problem at our house...

Carson, on the other hand, puts himself to bed at the appropriate time. That's awesome. :)

Twins

Owen is so whipped. This is what just happened. Owen is laying on the dog bed with Hurley and his blanket. Reed says, "Owen, can I come lay with you?" Then she's sharing his blanket. Then she's got the dog. Then she's complaining because he's taking up too much of the bed and blanket. Next thing you know, Owen is going to get her pillow and tucking his blanket in around her and Hurley and there's no room left for him. All the while he's offering to do everything she wants and she's saying things like "isn't he sweet, mommy?" And he's beaming.

Catching up

Last weekend we surprised Mark's family in NC with a visit. Here are a few photos and videos.

The surprise. Aunt Elizabeth was the only one who knew we were coming. She got everyone upstairs and told them that there was a gift being delivered from Craigslist. We snuck in and were waiting on the couch when they came down. E had them singing so they wouldn't hear us (Grant, you kept saying, "dog!").
