Isle of Palms: Part 1

I'm not generally a spontaneous person, but a few weeks before labor day, I spoke with my friends Ashley and Lisa and we decided last minute to make a trip down to the beach for the long weekend. We rented a condo for three nights in Isle of Palms and had a great time! Graham was clearly pumped to be at the beach...

We let the boys play a little rough.
And used Wonder Pets to baby sit them while we tried to enjoy a nice supper without child interruption (don't worry, the boys had already been fed)
Each of us took turns cooking so we didn't have to spend money on eating out. Yummy lasagna!
Relaxing with daddy.
We decided to visit the beach at sunset one night. It was beautiful!

The girls.

The boys and their daddies.

The condo was in the perfect location - right across from the pool. We spent most of our time here, and most of the time we were the ONLY ones at the pool. It was fabulous.

A little swim lesson.
Me and my boy!
I was SO excited when I saw there was a kiddie pool! Though Carter and Graham had several near-drowning incidents (they were a bit too brave), they ended up moving around the pool like a pro.

Hey Ashley!

We did finally end up going to the beach on our last day there (the pool is a lot easier and less messy with toddlers!). That will be in the next post!

The B-I-B-L-E

Carter is definitely becoming a lover of music. He will tap his fingers and wiggle his little body whenever music is on and knows the words to several songs. Here's a little clip of one of his favorites:

Sweet Baby #2

Just thought I'd share my ultrasound pictures from last week of our sweet baby! Everything looks great and he/she is growing right on target! My gender ultrasound is scheduled on the day before Thanksgiving - 6 weeks from tomorrow. Feel free to make your guesses on the poll to the right!

We have the neatest little Children's Museum here in town. In August, my Aunt Connie came into town and she, her grandson Cal, Carter, my mom and I all went to check it out. It was a ton of fun and Carter had a blast. Be prepared there are a TON of pictures!

We started at the fire truck...

My big boy going down the pole!

The had a special butterfly exhibit there. This is about as close as Carter would get to the butterflies.
But he had no problem smelling the flowers!

Cal, Carter and the giant boy.
So my mom went up with Carter into the little boys insides (you can explore his body parts). Little did she know that the only way down was this slide. Of course I caught it on camera. Hilarious!
Carter in awe of the boy.
Playin on the drums! There was a video outside of this room, so the green screen made it look like Carter was in a music video! So fun!
The boys getting down.
Sittin on a camel.
See, I was there too!
And here's Carter's music video! You can see him inside the room in the lower left hand corner! Fun!

Writing some music.

Oh. My. Word. This mini-grocery store was pure HEAVEN for my son. He had the greatest time and could have spent the whole day in here. I regret not photographing the terrible meltdown he had when I told him we had to go to a different room. I had to drag him out. My sweet boy likes to shop!!
He's such a pro!

I had so much fun watching him!


Building with the blocks!


We had a great time and will definitely go back again!!
