Carter Swag

Carter came up stairs for school on Wednesday wearing this.  His infamous purple shirt that he had to have when we went school clothes shopping because it makes him look "skinny".  When he walked in the living room for scriptures Sammi told him he was looking skinny and swag.  I walked in seconds later and told him he was "styling" to which he replied "Mom I think you mean swag"!  My bad.  After the big kids left for seminary I went to the kitchen to start breakfast and Carter brought me the camera and said "in case you wanted a picture of me in these school clothes", of course I did! 

After a traumatic dentist appointment yesterday I offered to take him to the dollar store.  This is what we purchased---swords and three suits of armour.  I didn't even have to ask why 3 suits because as a student of Carters' mind I know weapons and armour are no fun if you don't have similarly decked out buddies to go to war with.  Before he left for school I told him he had to pick up all his gear so I could vacuum today, when I came back in this was what I found!! Not bad, he has the makings of a good equipment manager!

I don't have a picture from last night, but Carter had to sing in a Stake fireside with other kiddos and I had back to school night at the high school.  That meant Grandma Louise had the privilege of escorting Swaggy Carter to Othello.  He insisted on wearing his "tuxedo" (a black suit I bought him at WalMart for Christmas last year), I warned him it would be hot, but that's what he wanted to wear.  I grabbed a tie and threw it on, and he said No, he wanted the tie from Mason's wedding, so I swapped the tie out and he asked me to get the tie pin off another tie because he wanted to look "important" for singing!

I hope I can keep Swaggy Carter swaggy, having no swag myself makes the job difficult!
