This past weekend, it was my turn! My friend Amy and I met up with some friends from my hometown and spent the weekend at PJ's-n-Pigtails, a bed and breakfast located in Stuart, IA. This B&B caters to crafters and this weekend was a scrapbooking weekend. This place was totally awesome! They served the best homemade food and desserts and pampered us to no end. It was fun to catch up with old friends and get some work done on the kids' books. The only rule there was you had to wear your pajamas! It was like a big slumber party! I will definitely make this an annual event and look forward to going back next year..anyone want to join me?
Carter got to enjoy some special treats both weekends, like staying up late, movie night and sleeping on the floor in mom and dad's room. Both weekends were a nice reminder on how much each of us does do to help out with things around the house and with the kids. We were both exhausted after being the single parent for the weekend and realized what a really good team we make.
The kids have been good. For the first time, Carter engaged in playing with Claire this past week. He got out his doctor kit and wanted to give me a check-up. As I was in the middle of something, he decided Claire was fair game. He played the part of the Dr. perfectly, even saying things like, " Since you were a good girl, you can pick a sticker" and, " It's your lucky day, no shots!"

Carter has really gotten into the hang of preschool and has gone from crying every morning he has to go, to asking me on the weekends and Monday's if he can go to preschool! This past week, the theme was "clothes" so they had to dress up a couple of times. Here is "Dress as silly as you can day".
We also got our first snowfall last week. Although it didn't last long, Carter had fun playing on the deck. We filled squirt bottles with water and green food coloring and colored the snow green.
Claire has mastered rolling from her back to her tummy and although we haven't seen her do it, from her tummy to her back. This morning she was lying on the floor in her room on her back near the changing table. I ran downstairs to grab something and when I came back up, she had rolled herself clear under her crib! I know the only way she got over there was to roll several times, but when we put her on her belly and coax her to roll to her back she just smiles at us.
I didn't make my goal of getting video downloaded this week. I did figure out how to take video on my camera and get it onto the computer, but after 3 hours of the 30 second clip attempting to download I cancelled it, so I must be doing something wrong..stay tuned, I'll attempt again!

The kids are getting big and Claire is just a little cutie. Your weekend sounds great, I should get the infor on that place I have some girlfriends that would love a place like that. As well as me that may be the only time I would have to work on Logan's book. He's crawling now and my time is limited once again.. I really enjoy the blog..
