Pancakes and Cowboy Boots

Though not necessarily at the same time! We had a nice weekend this past weekend. We started our Saturday off with Carter and Nick making pancakes. Carter loved "dumping" and stirring. I think, for the most part, he was a good helper!

After our yummy breakfast, Carter and I headed out to get the flu mist and a flu shot, respectively. We had to wait in line for an HOUR...which was tough with a 2 year old, but he did really well considering that I took nothing with which to entertain him. I treated him to a trip to the Pumpkin Fest at Clarian North Hospital (which is right across from our pediatrician's office) for being such a good flu mist patient and for behaving so well during our wait. At the pumpkin fest, he was able to pet several animals--a bunny, a goat, some strange reptile like thing from Australia that he LOVED--, win a few prizes, and pick out a pumpkin for us to take home. We left Daddy and Callen (and the camera) at home for the trip though...we thought it might be too chilly for Callen.

We spend most of the rest of Saturday watching football. {ROLL TIDE, by the way!} While we were watching one of the games, Carter was out of sight and sounded like he was struggling with something. Nick went to check on him, and this is what he found:
And, although the next picture looks like Carter is playing hockey, he is really trying to play golf. The boy is h@ll on the plastic golf clubs...he has broken 3...and we haven't bought him new ones, so he plays golf inside with a yard stick. I know, I know...we'll get the boy some new golf clubs soon!
We wrapped up our weekend by relaxing on Sunday--Carter, Callen and me at home and Nick on the golf course, and enjoyed a yummy dinner with some friends {Carter says: the Todd "grils," i.e. girls}. And, as an added bonus, Nick was off of work today for Columbus Day!
