Let's slow it down

Geoff and I work, everyday.  1 day a week, I leave work early and spend the afternoon with Carson.  It's never enough.  Our weekends are always consumed with something to do.  Either running errands, going to a birthday party (which we put a big HALT on) or lately, house hunting. This weekend, we talked to Carson and said, we'll do whatever you want to do.  And he made sure we weren't house hunting this weekend. ha! We even cooked the foods that he wanted.  It was Carson's weekend and it was wonderful.  We started the weekend off by going outside Friday night and played catch with Daddy.  It was so comical.  Carson called Diesel the fetcher because everytime he missed the ball, Diesel was right there running after it.  That night we had chinese food for dinner and watched Transformers: Age of Extinction.  Carson's choice.

The next day, we woke up and had waffles for breakfast at the king's request.  Then we went to Publix, picked up sandwiches and went to the park to have a picnic and bike ride.  Seriously, if we didn't ever slow down, we would never do these things.

We rode our bikes on the levee in search for wildlife.  We had our eyes peeled for snakes, alligators, turtles.  At the end of our ride, we saw what was an alligator and it went back under.  The weather was perfect and again, unless we slowed down, we would never do this. 

Our last day of the weekend.  So sad that it went by so fast.  Carson asked to go to Toys R Us, we should have seen that coming, he's quick to catch on to Carson's weekend.  Well he had a gift card to use so we told him we would go and he could use his gift card that he got for his birthday.  Afterwards, we asked him what he wanted for dinner and he wanted a BBQ, hamburgers and corn on the cob.  That is exactly what we had.  Geoff cooked the most delicious turkey burgers and we had macaroni and cheese and of course, corn on the cob.  I went to set up the table inside and Carson said, "No, we can't eat inside.  It's a BBQ.  We have to eat outside".  And that is exactly what we did. 

I feel like we need to thank him for this weekend.  One day you will read this Carson, so thank you.  Thank you for the most wonderful weekend, just me, you and Daddy and our dogs.  You are simply the best.  Thank you for slowing us down.  There is nothing that can't wait and there is nothing more important than you and our time together.  I love you.
