Carter knew exactly what we were doing when we neared the back of the store and marched right into the receiving area to get to work. While Brian signed us in, Carter kept pointing at his stomach indicating he wanted his Lowe's apron on.
Carter stayed interested in building for about 2 minutes and then he saw a forklift parked close by and remained distracted the remainder of the time we were there. He still did a good job of hammering when we were able to get his attention focused on the project. Though he was a bit of a hammer hoarder (he had 3).
Carter really liked the dog leash holder he helped make (because it's a dog) ...
He kept saying "woof, woof" when we were leaving.
When we left Lowe's, we headed over to Amy and Chad's house for Caitlyn's birthday party. She had a bee themed party. Amy did an amazing job decorating with tons of bees and having everything yellow, black, and white. The kids even played "Pin the Wings of the Bee".
When we walked in, Carter found Caitlyn right away and they gave each other a big hug - so sweet! Then they played together in Caitlyn's room for a little bit until it was time to eat. Even though Carter has only seen us give Rylan a bottle once, he knew right away how to feed Caitlyn's dolls a bottle. I thought it was kind of random.

Amy did such a good job, especially when you consider she had Alek less than a month ago. But she forgot one thing ... candles for the cake! So she had to improvise ...
Carter loved his cupcake!
Carter was getting fussy the last 30 minutes we were there so we knew he was tired. He passed out on the way home holding his balloon ...
Rylan did great at the party - no crying except when he decided he was hungry. He got lots of attention even though there were 2 babies there that were younger than him (Alek and an 8-day-old!).
We had a nasty storm come through here just after 7 pm and lost power right away. We finally got it back about an hour ago (8:45 pm). UT is playing at home tonight and they had to delay the game a little over an hour because of all the lightning. Carter seemed to get a little scared when it got dark all of a sudden but once we got enough candles and flashlights out, he was okay. We ended up taking a drive after awhile because it was getting hot in the house and Rylan wouldn't settle down. Plus we could then listen to the UT game on the radio.

Cute post, as always! You'll have to tell Amy that 2 years in a row I've remembered candles at the VERY last minute and sent someone to the store right as the party is starting :) Miss you guys!
