Holy Cow!!! 8...8...they are REALLY eight! It seems so crazy. How can I have boys that are 8! Their birthday was a blast. They are so fun and know exactly what they want. Carter's list: Breakfast: pillsbury cinnamon rolls, Lunch: chips and salsa (Mexican food), Dinner: Arbys. He wanted 2 things, legos (I've held off as long as possible, I am not excited about that!) and an airhog. He got those and a sling shot and a 3 pack of gum, maybe his favorite gift. He wanted fruit popsicles for his treat for the class. He also got to choose to have a party or $100, and he choose the money. He did however try to tell Carson about all of the REALLY fun things to do for a party, since they had to invite their brothers if they had a party. It was hillarious because Carson was falling for it hook, line, and sinker!
Carson's list: Breakfast: sausage, bacon, sunny d, scrambled eggs. Lunch: chips and salsa. Dinner: Garlic chicken. He wanted air hog, remote control stuff, deodorant (because he gets sweaty in PE class!), and a kick ball. He was wanting to have a party all along until about a week before his birthday when Carter started talking about buying his gun (the reason he wanted the money) and then he realized what he was doing. He now wants to go to WalMart and buy everything Carter got that he didn't, oh yeah, and another 3 pack of gum. He wants to look like his Aunt Charity with a variety of packs! So cute...but not gonna happen! He took in Gushers for his class.
They also both received a 30 min later bedtime than their brothers. Wow the tears fell on that one from Caden! They have to pick something quiet to do, but it doesn't have to be in their room, which makes them feel big and cool. I told them with this new, big age comes more resposibility, but also more priveledges. They are very proud, and Caden is still crying about it. Such is life. I think this may be a problem his whole life. He is NOT their age, and reminds me of that when it's chore time and other "resposibility" things. What do ya do...
The morning of their birthday Carson comes in and says that he is going to be really good because he is now being recorded in Heaven. He is making good on that so far (I won't hold my breathe, but I am riding the wave for now!!!) I am so proud of him. They are so much fun. I love being their mom!! Every day is a new adventure (Some I love, and some make me wonder if motherhood is really for me, JK, kinda)! They make me stretch, scream, grow, learn, and a million other things. I cannot imagine my life without them! I thank my Heavenly Father for them every night... and morning... and meal... yeah pretty much ALL the time! (I cannot figure out how to get pics off my phone anymore, so no more pics! Bummer deal!)
