Good Times!

Ryan has been out of town since Monday, so I have been hangin' with my boys. Carter has been eating it up...If you could see what he does when Ryan hugs me, kisses me, sits next to me...jealous! He'll come right in between us on the sofa, or he'll sit in Ryan's lap and say "That's my mama!" with a big smile on his face and that trademark laugh!

Taking advantage of the mother/son time, I decided to take Carter and Preston to Michaels Arts & Crafts for one of their Knack "Make & Takes".  If you haven't heard of "The Knack", check out their website. They have tons of online project ideas, as well as weekly in-store, scheduled arts and craft activities for kids that are DIRT cheap, fun, and linked to the current season or upcoming holiday.

Last night's activity was a Valentine's bag for their school parties!
Carter getting busy... 
Here he is with a few little "friends" he picked up in the dollar bins while we paid for the bags. He eventually lost ALL interest in the art project, opting for winding up the dinosaur instead! Oh well!

Gluing on the eyes!
 Preston's turn!
Come on Preston! One picture. Just hold your bag and smile. He's so over my obsession with taking pictures...
Just one. Hold the bag...
Or not...One out of 2 isn't bad! WTH is that look on Carter's face?

Next stop.....haircuts. Would someone please tell me why kids immediately whine when they hear the word "haircut"? 

Would you guys stand still for 5 seconds!!??
Mom, that's enough!

NEVER a dull moment!
Love my boys!

I love this post! First of all, Preston's bag is ADORABLE! But the first thing he said when he brought it in this morning was, "Man, the foot is about to fall off!" Poor guy... it's still sooo cute! Second, that picture of you and Carter just cracks me up! I laughed out loud at your comment about his face. Those boys are PRECIOUS, Allison!
