She came, we played, she left, we cried . . .

Erin was here this past week, (I will blame her for my lack of posts) We had lots of fun. But she is gone already and the trip was just too short. Here are a couple random pictures of the week.

Gymboree on Wednesday

Auntie Erin gives Carter a wheely ride

Camden standing in the new shed that Jeff was not supposed to build on Thursday

Had I known Jeff would put him to work, and Carter would enjoy it so much, I would've given them more of a list . . . laundry, vacuum, mop, dishes . . . not shed building.

Saturday, we went to the Anderson's to celebrate Dane's 2nd birthday.

Boys looking at new toys

I think Carter's exact phrase was "WOW WOW WOW"

Erin doing what she does best . . . watching the kiddos.

Bree, Dane and Carter playing in the sandbox.

Camden wishing he could play in the sandbox too,

Mommy thinking she is glad he is still too little and cuddly to do so.

Sunday, a trip to Lake Las Vegas to feed the duckies.

Carter thought the old hot dog buns were for him

(he kept taking little nibbles and then throwing the rest to the ducks)

Playing in the wishing well

Carter throwing in a penny, a dime, a quarter, then we ran out of change.

Renee, Carter (19.5 mos) Erin and Camden (5.5 mos)
A neat find . . . Ants!!!

When I said "ants" Carter looked at Erin and then at me as if to say,

"Mom you are crazy, Erin is my Aunt, and she certainly doesn't look like these!"

Happy Family

Walk walk walk
Run run run
