Weekend Wrap Up

I didn't take very many pictures over the weekend. Marmee and Granny & Pa came for dinner on Friday night. We had fun playing Skyjo and I forgot to take any pictures.

Carson wore his shirt proudly for the 100th day of school. He used to be so difficult when it came to anything out of the norm, but thankfully, he has outgrown that. On a side note, we have figured out what motivates Carson...dollars, as he calls them. We've been giving him a dollar a day to keep his room clean and it's working. We did this for Miles when he was in kindergarten and it was effective for him too.

Darrin and I were sitting next to each other on the couch watching football today and Miles came and sat right next to us. We don't get as much time with him now that he's growing up, but we enjoy hanging out with him when we can.

Then, he shocked us by reading. He got a book in his Christmas box with a note that said it was for his next book report. 

Carson played games all weekend with anyone that would play with him. He is becoming a master at Mancala.

He still needs to work on his Golf strategy, but he's getting better.

I went to Black Tie & Boxing on Saturday with a good friend from work. We knew someone fighting and wanted to go support him. Such a fun night.

Carson is still rocking some 3T shorts. I guess he fits in with the teenage boys who are wearing short shorts these days.

We put together a new workspace in our bedroom this weekend. Sadly, this is the before, minus the monitors. I just came into these monitors and that's what prompted the redo. Darrin works at home some amount of time everyday, some more than others, but he really needed something more functional. I will be happy to have a nice space too on the days I work from home.

My mom had this desk/table and wasn't using it, so she gave it to us. It is perfect, and exactly what we needed. We are so thankful to have been given the monitors and the desk.

Our bedroom is really the only place in the house that we can fit a workspace like this. I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't love a desk in their bedroom, but our bedroom is spacious and the desk is tucked in the corner. I don't mind it and Darrin doesn't mind working in there. 

The weekends go by too quickly, but it's been a nice one with some fun with friends and family, some downtime, and lots of football.
