SEVEN

Carter is SEVEN! For some reason, seven sounds old to me. I can't say " he's only 6" anymore when trying to defend some of the crazy stuff he does! Carter's birthday was last Wednesday so it was a school day, but good news was it was early out! He started the day off with a special breakfast of Lucky Charms! This really is a special breakfast as usually his dad has him eating nuts and a protein bar for breakfast. I was off that day, so was able to take a very special treat to school for him to share with his friends, Krispy Creme donuts! Since it was early out, we took him and two friends to spend the rest of the afternoon at Incredible Pizza Company. He choose his friends Hunter and Duke to join him. The boys had a blast playing video games, bowling, riding bumper cars and stuffing themselves with pizza!

 After we dropped the boys off, Carter opened the rest of his gifts at home. Thanks to everyone who sent a card, gift, or left a message for him! He is blessed with such great friends and family. 

 So for some reason the only two things he asked for was a Harry Potter wizard wand ( he has never seen any of the movies) and an Italian flag? Who knows why, but if any of you know Carter, once he gets an idea in his head it is impossible to shake it. So, wizard wand and Italian flag it was. Jeremy was in charge of buying both, I think he went a little overboard on the size of the flag! 

 Sunday evening we let him choose a special place to eat for supper. He chose Jethros BBQ and Jambalaya and ordered chicken strips and FF!!! Crazy kid!
