My Summer Schedule

I love SUMMER! It is so fun to just spend time with Carson, and also get some things done around the house. Everything is set up in our backyard, so we eat a lot of our meals out there and just hang out during these pleasant summer evenings.

I am still taking classes for my Masters degree, so Grandma and Grandpa are still watching Carson a few days each week. Carson shrieks with joy when he sees Grandma and Grandpa, so it seems to be a good situation all the way around.

When I am not going to class at University of Phoenix, I am hanging out with Carson. Here is a typical day for us:

7:30 a.m.--Carson yells "Ma Ma" from his room, which means it is time to get up.

8:00 a.m.--We eat Breakfast; Carson splits time between baby food and whatever I am eating, and Kava eats the food off the floor. Everyone is happy! We usually have a playlist on the ipod going, so there is some dancing involved with our meals around here...

8:30-9:30--Play time. Carson and I play with his toys, read his books (he LOVES books!), and play hide-n-Seek. Sometimes crazy Mommy takes pictures with the camera!
Carson can pull himself up on anything, and he tries to grab onto things and walk rather than crawl. He CAN crawl very fast--but he needs to be motivated to actually crawl around. This kid wants to WALK!

Hide-n-seek is one of our favorite activities. There are a lot of laughs, and ocassionally some surprises!

What a cute kid!

9:30-11:30--Carson takes his morning nap after we read 2 or 3 books.

11:30--Lunch

12:00--Time for errands or being outside. Carson LOVES being outside, and it doesn't matter what we do. If he is outside, he is so happy!

2:00-4:00--Afternoon nap...sometimes for Mommy too! :)

4:00-5:00--wait for Daddy to come home. Sometimes we go outside and play with the other kids, or sit outside on the back deck.

5:30--When Daddy gets home, Carson is so excited that he tenses up for a second and lets out a shriek of joy. I love watching this! We eat dinner together, and then do something (or nothing) until it is time for Carson to go to bed.

8:00--Time for bed! Carson takes a bath, then we read "Guess How Much I Love You" , and he is out for the night.

8:30--Mike and Lisa light some tiki torches and enjoy the backyard. :)

I LOVE SUMMER!!!
