So Much Miscellaneous

All right, a big jumble of miscellaneous pictures and stories that have been hanging out in my phone for awhile and I wanted to get down.

For his birthday a neighbor friend got Carter a real army helmet.  As you can imagine there has been a lot of army play going on around here.  (In this picture Carter was sweeping for mines.)

Here is Carter running across the field for youth football night.  Unfortunately I couldn't find a really good spot to take a picture of the polar bear head but we still had a fun family night together.

We also finished up Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and had our family book night together.  Carter and Ava made "magic wands" and dipped pretzel sticks into chocolate and topped with sprinkles.   Haha, caught Carter taking a taste test!

Snuggling on the couch watching the Chamber of Secrets

During dinner we talked about which house we would belong to at Hogwarts.  Ava and Carter choose gryffindor but Dawson choose slytherin.  I guess that's really not too far from the truth!    

At the end of July we saw my Uncle and cousin performing at a concert and they have been playing rock band ever since.  Here is Carter's first stab at writing a song:

It is dark (pause) Home

Start Side BEEEEP Summer

Awesome

heel heel heel

It is dark (pause) Home

Wow, very deep my little songwriter.  I don't even think I know what you are talking about!

So, all the time in the basement:  this.  Lots and lots of rock band.
