Carter's party

Carter's birthday party was yesterday afternoon and boy, did he have fun! Sam and Abby came to play and although they didn't all play together for long, I think each one of them had fun with what they were doing. We got a slip 'n slide and a pool for them to play in and they were both a relief from the heat. I think the adults would have joined in if they had swimsuits in hand. Although Carter seemed exhausted (as were mom & dad) after all of the excitement, he was up until almost 10 pm checking out his new toys. He thought the Cars sleeping bag was pretty neat since that was a really great place to hide from his daddy.

Coleman had fun at the party too, and especially enjoyed his big brother's birthday cake. After he had his dinner, Cici fed him a few little bites and he was all smiles. That big smile turned into a frown and LOTS of tears when bedtime rolled around. It was a rough night for the little guy. I checked his temperature about lunchtime today, and he had a fever. After another trip to Pediatrics After Hours, turns out that he has ear infection number 3! He obviously hasn't been himself today, but right before bed that little sparkle was returning to his eyes. He is now sound asleep and appears to be resting comfortably. Hopefully he'll have a better night tonight.
