Well, it's been a busy week here at the Tabony Farm. Grandparents Tabony came for a quick 2-day visit and I put Grandpa (and his truck) to work helping me around the house. We hauled three loads of hardwood mulch over from the county yard waste processing facility. We also hung blinds, rehung a door, built sawhorses, and made a good start on fixing our riding lawn mower. Meanwhile, Grandma Tabony got to watch Carter, and she proved herself to be... the Baby Whisperer. Seriously, after 2 days, Carter was telling me, "No! If they are leaving, I want to go with Grandma!"
Carter continues to want to spend most of his time outside. In fact, if you want to listen to a tantrum, just pick him up and start to head outside, but then remember something inside you need. As you carry him away from the door, the outrage will be very apparent.
So to appease the little man we went to the Charlotte Easter Egg Hunt. Boy was that crazy! Carter was too small to participate. And it really wasn't a hunt anyway, more like a massacre. They had so many kids there's no hope of hiding enough eggs, so instead they corralled the kids by age, then just dumped a million eggs out on a soccer field and let the kids run/trample each other in their enthusiasm.
So the good news is, I finished fixing the lawn mower and mowed for the first time this year. Now we no longer have to worry about losing Carter in the front yard. But the grass clippings are sticky...
So that means it's bath time when we get inside! More next week... see you then!

Natalie is VERY similar to Carter in terms of wanting to be outside all the time!! We're trying to appease her as much as possible; it's just hard with a 40-week pregnant mom. :) And we get similar tantrums (just of the 2-year-old variety) if we start to go out, but then need to head back inside. We really should get these two together... :)
