Saturday & Sunday

We had a really busy day yesterday. We started off the morning by going to the Build and Grow Workshop at Lowe's and then going to get Carter's hair cut. Next we went to lunch and Brian ran a few errands. Then we all went back to Lowe's to buy a tree for the backyard. He had left a spot in the new bed we made last fall for a tree and finally found one that we liked. We got a weeping cherry.


We also put down new mulch in most of that bed and cleaned up some of the other plants in the yard. Luckily Carter took a long nap yesterday afternoon and didn't wake up until we were almost done working in the yard.

We played with Carter for awhile after he woke up, went out to dinner, and then to Target to get 2 more chairs for our front porch. When we got home we put them together while Carter played in the yard. We finally have all the furniture for the porch and just need a second outdoor rug, throw pillows, and some candles for the tables.



Today was a much slower day. Brian spent too much time outside yesterday and his allergies have caused his head to basically explode today. At least the Masters was on today so he had something good to watch on TV. I managed to tape the nursery so Brian can do the primer one night this week and played outside with Carter for a long time while also putting down more new mulch in the yard. We're almost done putting down new mulch!

Somehow Carter got a bunch of splinters in his right hand. I think he got them from our fence. There are a few in his palm and some in his index finger. We managed to hold him down and get the ones out of his finger but haven't been able to get the ones in his palm yet. It took us 15 minutes of struggling to get what we got. Carter is strong and squirmy! We felt really bad about "torturing" him and hope we can get the rest of the splitters out tomorrow without causing too much trauma.

Carter's last baby tooth (other than his 2-year-old molars) is finally coming through. He's getting his bottom right eye tooth. He slept TERRIBLE last night and I finally figured out why. Hopefully he sleeps better tonight because I'm exhausted!
