Just Dad

Aaron and I both like to spend one on one time with the kids. We feel like we have a child that commands a lot of our attention and sometimes our oldest, who doesn't demand much, doesn't get much of our time. Carson and I were waiting in a line at a restaurant and Aaron took the girls to the bathroom. Carson reached out and grabbed my hand and said, "Mom this is so nice, we hardly ever get to do stuff just us." :) My sweet, sweet boy. So Aaron took Carson out for some one on one time. Camilla wanted to go but after I told her that we get to do stuff "just the girls" all the time and now Daddy and Carson needed to do stuff with "just the boys" she seemed to understand. 

Carson made a plan, wrote it up and put the date they would go at the bottom. First they went swimming and then went to Snow Monster to get a treat. 


And a snow waffle.


Afterward they went to the grocery store and Carson got fruits and vegetables to make a solar system. He saw this project in his new solar system book from Grandma and Grandpa and made a grocery list and then set it up on my kitchen counter. Then he put a sign up that says "please do not eat, thank you". Millie has been very tempted since one of the planets is a marshmallow. 

We are grateful to have this boy in our family.
