trick or treat!!

Wow...what a weekend!! It has been a fun yet exhausting weekend for the kolb clan. Carson had a halloween parade/party at his school as well as trunk and treat - we decorated our car as cat in the hat and trina and I dressed up as thing 1 and thing 2 while diana dressed up as the cat in the hat.

Carson's Class dressed up as birthday presents for halloween

Well Lookie who it is...thing 1 and thing 2 and the cat in the hat!

and later that night we hit the town and went to the mothers group at church's fall festival.

Best Buds!!

Saturday chad was brave enough to take the 2 kids by himself to the arboretum while trina and i went to a girlfriends brunch. And today we tricked and treated at uncle rod's house.

It was a lot of fun...Carson had a BLAST!!! He has been anticipating halloween for the past 2 days and hasnt let go of the halloween bucket for the past few days. You say candy...and its like he is hypnotized. He'll kiss and hug anyone you tell him to..he will pick up his toys...and he will eat all his food. Its great!! And sometimes he gets so wrapped up in doing what you ask him to do that he forgets the whole candy bit! But this year...he went trick or treating with his cousins and his best friend matthew. He was SOOO excited to get started. He kept saying.."next house". and he was running like he was a born sprinter!! It was so nice and fun to watch him enjoy himself so much!!

On another note, carson got his evaluation back at school..which they said he is doing really well with adjusting but they still have to tell him not to wrestle with everyone at school...I WONDER who taught him that?!! Chad. I am really glad that we have so much family here! Its so awesome!!

The halloween Loot!!

Fall Season is here!!

Katie at 2 months!!

Carson with his Aunt mia!!
Halloween, Pumpkins and football!!! Fall season is here!! And we are LOVING it!! The weather is getting cooler but our allergies are KILLING us!! We went to gattitown and carson had a blast at thier halloween party. He got his face painted, ate pizza, and got lots of candy!! He didnt let go of his candy bag for days. I have a feeling that halloween is going to be carson's favorite holiday!!

Look who it is...its spiderman!!

we went to aunt tram's and uncle rod's pumpkin carving party this past sunday and had a blast!

Mrs. Potato Head pumpkin!

Carson holding mrs potato's head's hand!

we also went to the flower mound pumpkin patch...carson had a great time picking out a pumpkin, but before he picked out a pumpkin...I saw him stop and pull down his pants...And YES...he was about to pee in the pumpkin patch - chad had to pick him up quickly and take him to the porta potty. It was so funny.

Hide and go seek!!!

Wow, its so funny how carson leaves little "suprises" around the house!! But at least he tells me about them!!! This morning I went into carson's room and he was all smiles and had a pile full of books on his book. He said, "mommy..I pee peed!!" and I said, oh no.where did you pee pee at?? on your bed?? and he said, no mommy..I show you...I show you. I got a little nervous as he hopped off his bed...he then proceeds to go to the humidifer in his room and lifts up the top of it and viola...there it is...pee pee in the humidifer!! Who would have thought??!!! Christine and I took a sewing class tonight...very very basic...and what did we learn?? we learned that we dont know how to measure correctly and we dont know how to cut a straight line! lol Katie is getting so cute!! She is smiling a lot back at people and cooing!! She isnt crying AS much..but still crying a lot when she is awake. I have been dreading going back to work. I cant believe I go back nov 8th...its right around the corner!! Thinking about what schedule i want katie on and what will work best for carson.

look who's 2!!!

Look who's 2 months!!

Well...I cant believe it, Katie turned 2 months already. Boy how time flies!! She is sleeping pretty good, eatting ok and is awesome at crying for no reason!!

Say Cheese!!

She loves to be held...ALL THE TIME! Carson is getting used to her crying...I placed her in his lap the other day and she started to cry...carson proceeded to rock her and sing hush little baby!! lol No kidding!! He always gets excited when she's up...he'll run to me and say..mommy look...her eyes are open!!

I am trying to keep katie up during the day more, boy she was a sleeper...she slept all during the day, but the night was a different story! She's been smiling a lot more and cooing! We decided to nickname her tootie- man...can she lay a doozie!!

We have been staying busy...we went to the state fair, where carson dined on coney dogs, funnel cakes and chocolate milk!! he also played in the sand exhibit that was new at the fair!! boy did he have a great day!!!

Climbing mt everest...or so it seemed like at the time!

Carson started back at school 2 weeks ago, he is doing really well at adjusting. He is having a lot of fun with his aunt trina..but sure misses his grandma!! It seems like one day carson was my little baby and then the next..he grew up and suddenly was a toddler exerting his rights as a terrible two!! He is so lovable though..and always wants to help his daddy with the yard work! But boy...does he have an attitude!!

Daddy's little helper!!

"I did it!!"

oh god!!!

Well, today was my first attempt to go anywhere by myself with the two kiddos...and I would have to say that I was unsuccessful! I was so excited to be able to try out my new double stroller...dang that thing is heavy!! Anyways, made it to the mall and as soon as I stepped into the mall, the first thing that Carson says is...Eat, I want to eat!! Thinking that food would keep him occupied for a bit, I went and got him something. Occupied him for 15 min and then he was all about trying to get out of the stroller. Argghh...so, that was it for the mall and came straight home. Got nervous because about 5 min from the house carson tells me he needs to pee pee...of course I hit the red lights!!! But Carson was a big boy and waited till we got the house to use the restroom. Carson, Chad and I ate lunch together and then we put him down for his nap. 2 hours later I am suprised by chad opening Carson's door to his room and chad saying..OH GOD!!! I rush to the scene and the urge to vomit hit me ! He had taken off his diaper and there was a line of poop all the way from his bed to his door along with a chair he had pulled up to his drawers which held his wipes...being my clean freak boy, he at least wiped himself.

Oh God!!! What is that??!!!

yep...it is what you think it is!!!

So there was poop and wipes everywhere with a disgusting odor.

Trail of Wipes....

But boy, when carson came out of the room he was smiling ear to ear because he didnt poop in his pants! Oh goodness... what can I say. So I included some pics...I know its disgusting but wanted you to get the full effect!!

happy grandparents day!!

Katie with Pou Pou
Today is grandparents day...Carson has spent the last month right by his pou-pou's side. Everytime I tell him that she is going to leave soon , he busts out in tears and runs to the door!

carson with his pou pou

Today we made a banana nut bread for her. As we were eatting it, Carson said "delicious"!!! It took me by suprise and it just tickled me to hear him say that.lol. boy, the things that carson picks up. But he sure does know how to make his mommy feel good!!

Katie is getting bigger and bigger every day. She is sleeping well thru the night. Her hair is so cute...its so puffy on top. It reminds me of trina's pictures when she was a baby.

such a great big brother

I couldnt ask for a better big brother for katie, carson dotes on her so much and always wants to kiss and hug her. Yesterday when I was feeding Katie, Carson climbs up on the bed with me, sits down in front of me and takes off his shirts and points to his boobie and says he wants to feed baby Katie. I thought that was the cutest thing. Carson has been enjoying the break from school, however...we are planning to stick him back in school when my mom leaves. Carson is sure going to miss my mom...they have been pretty much inseparable since she's been here. He has even started calling her mommy too. lol.

Katie has been staying awake a little more lately, although she does still sleep for the majority of the time. She grunts a lot when she is sleeping, not sure what causes that. But it sure does get loud. Aunt Tammy, aunt stephanie, brigitte and collin came to visit carson and katie...boy are those kids growing up so quickly!! Carson loved playing with brigitte...collin is still a little young for carson to be playing so rough with, but I say give it a few more months and they will all be playing rough together!

Christine and Eric are going on an alaskan cruise this coming week, they will be gone for 2 weeks- trina will be joining them as well. We are sure going to miss seeing them for those 2 weeks! I am sure they will have loads of fun!!
