Whoo.....what a wild and crazy last couple of days!!!

We have been in full speed around here!! Between Carson starting school and me driving back to TN for class...our lives have been non-stop. Carson has had a hard time with school the past several days. He isn't real happy with the fact that he is going to school and I am staying at home with Barrett. We have had many loooonnnngggg mornings of tears with him. But I will say - Carson has moved mountains since last Friday. Between his teachers, counselors, and myself - we have developed a wonderful plan that has led to Carson coming home much happier with school. His teacher has paired him up with a "buddy" at school to help him make friends...and I got a report today that he did not cry at all today - THAT IS A HUGE improvement! If you remember, he wanted to ride the bus at the beginning of the year, and many people (in and out of the school) felt like it would be a wonderful thing for Carson - so I DID IT!! I got his information today, and he was approved to ride the bus. Well - guess what?!?!?! He doesn't want to ride the bus now!!!! We (Davy and myself) felt like he should at least ride it to school in the morning...and I would pick him up tomorrow afternoon. If he didn't want to ride the bus anymore - then he didn't have to...but he had to at least try it. So, we will see what happens in the morning. I have begged Davy to go into work late tomorrow, so that he could come with us to take Carson - but I don't think he can:( I will be sure to update my blog asap about the bus experience!!!


Today, Barrett and I had some special friends over for a play date. We had a blast. Robyn (the mother) brought her son over to play - she stayed a little while and then left Ty to play while she went to work in her room. The boys had a ball!! They were our "First" friends we have had over to play since we moved (at least to our apartment). After they left, Barrett took a great nap...and I hit the books to try and keep my head above water with my thesis!!!

The boys loved playing Rock Band and having a picnic inside for lunch!!!




After school today, we went to Wal-Mart to get the boys their Halloween costumes (I know it is early, but we didn't want to wait until the last minute...and they were on sale). And...Carson completed a book series (reading the books out loud to me) so he was able to pick a reward prize (and that is what he wanted). I decided if I could kill two birds with one stone...I should do it (a reward and their costumes all at once).
