Ok. So not exactly the worst day ever, but certainly one of those Mom days. So yesterday (Tuesday) I got to babysit two of my nephews, my brother's boys. One is almost 4, the other is 2. So cute. We had a blast! It was a good Mom/Aunt day. They came around 9. We watched the movie Cars. We made pumpkin cookies, which my 4 yr old nephew didn't believe would taste good. We made our own pizzas for lunch. We played the Wii. We went outside and rode bikes, played in the leaves. It was just a nice relaxing day where I could just have fun with the kids. Here are a few pics!

Carter turned 2 this week. I can't believe it! I'm sad yet excited to see what the future holds for our energetic little man. I thought I'd put a few pics on so I could see how much he's grown and changed. So cute!
