Ice Skating
Emery on the Ice
We finally got Emery on the ice and of course, she loved it. She was all smiles except for the few times she landed on her butt. Carter was great too! He made it around a bunch of times on his own, before he got tired and used the scooter. Thank goodness for those scooters, they really saved my back.

Ever see an ice skating bunny? Carter and I did… 
Weekend fun
I just realized that I hadn’t posted anything for a couple weeks. There really hasn’t been much going on around here hence the hiatus, but this weekend we had a bit of action.
We kicked this weekend off with the Home Depot Kids Workshop. Carter built sports bookends and painted them his favorite color, bright orange. Sunday, Carter and I snuck out of the house and went ice skating at Rocket Arena. He did amazing for his second time! Carter scooted around the rink using an awesome running man technique. Check out the video below! Mom and Emery stayed home and had quality time together. As we say, girls with the girls and boy with the boys!
Carter ice skating
I have been wanting to take Carter ice skating and we finally did. The Rocket Arena was a really nice facility in Bolingbrook and was perfect for Carter’s first attempt at skating. He mostly did “the running man” but never gave up and had a huge smile on his face the entire time! As an added bonus we got to see some 11/12 year olds play hockey as we were leaving. Carter liked the action but I thought Julie was going to pass out after a kid got checked pretty hard.
