All Steamed Up

Getting back into "the groove" of things this week consisted of heading to one of Carters favorite activities, her ballet class! She was all steamed up about it, literally...

I am also fairly certain that leg warmers go into the "things a three year old can pull off and look really cute in category" because Carter manages to make them look adorable...

After the "Yay, you're heading back to dance photo/video session", I headed out to start the car because it is more than just a little chilly around these parts! When I came back in Carter had added just a few more accessories to her outfit...

After I managed to convince her that her crown might not make it through all the twirling she was sure to be doing we were off! We enjoyed making a few stops in the land of civilization, ie Target! Apparently there is some truth to the fact that everyone keeps saying, "Wow Carter you've gotten so tall!" Because when we got home she sure had outgrown her nifty little Ikea bed with both ends turned up...but, that's the reason it's so nifty, you just fold one down and presto...two more feet of growing room! We were however in search of some twin bedding to accommodate the extra inches and Target didn't disappoint! If you care to notice, in the photo above the end of the bed is folded up, and now it looks like this...

See I told you, nifty right!? Cozy little Carter was looking forward to stretching her legs out...

We have been doing our best to stay busy this week. It helps to give yourself something better to do than sit around and countdown the minutes and hours until Nate gets home! Today we headed out and enjoyed a couple of our favorite places, the local library and the bowling alley. Carter had fun with her buddies Cooper and Connor. Watching the ball make to the pins is half the fun when you are under 5!

Thanks for keeping me busy this week Munchkin! I love you and I know it probably feels like it isn't true, but Daddy really WILL be home soon...not tomorrow, not the next day, not the next day, not the next day, but the NEXT day!!!
