Current Trends in the Lucky House

Carson:
*loves all things baseball, including watching the D-backs on tv with Dad...our house will never be the same and I fear I'm quickly being edged out by all the testosterone that is sure to be around the corner.
*says "Oh SNAP!" when things are "cool"
*says "Holy Shrimp!" to our constant embarrassment...because it sounds WAY too close to something else bad. He learned that courtesy of Spongebob. (I'm shaking my head in that motherly way right now)
*received PERFECT marks at his parent teacher conference and the teacher said he's one of the brightest kids in class.
*is becoming quite the lounge lizard and wants to wear pj's around the house when he's home. he can't EVER wear the same pair twice in a row, however...so this is a lot of laundry.

Trevor:
*frequently comes up and says "I miss you" to Reed or I and asks for a kiss...even if we've been sitting beside him the last hour.
*loves fish and really really needs an aquarium at some point. It is mandatory (for Trevor) that we spend at least 30 minutes at the fish section of Wal-mart every time we go in...to the point that if I have to just get a few things I now schedule that for when Reed is home so I can avoid it. The employees there must think we are fish-stalkers and know Trevor by name.
*has begun to make up songs a la Dad and Carson--about what he's doing, what he wants to be doing, what he's eating, what he wants to eat...you name it. All are out of tune, but are also loud. Which can be fun...as long as we have aspirin in the house.
*is going to be "Petey Pants" for Halloween as long as he can carry a big sword and "not that little one what Petey Pants uses...Trevor needs a BIG sword in case someone scary comes out."
*has rediscovered his Legos and spends hours making towers that he knocks down, then starts over. which makes no sense, really, but is apparently quite fun.
