Guys Night

Carter had a Dad's Night at his preschool last week.  He is all about his Daddy lately.  But instead of Dad's Night, he kept calling it Guys Night.  We have those periodically at home, on nights when I go out with the girls and it's just the "guys" at home.  They'll stay up watching movies and eating junk food; cliche yet very special.  So when Carter found out he was having a Dad's Night at school, he just couldn't wait. 

He made him an invitation at school and wrote his own name on it.  Can't seem to find a picture of that, better go take one.  He also made a tie at school that Brian wore for the evening.  He kept telling Brian he gave him two purple hearts.  Brian chucked, but Carter didn't understand why.

Then they had pizza and juice with all the other dads in the Fellowship Hall.  Brian said that Carter's classmates have weird and boring Dads. Well honey, they can't all be as awesome and funny as you!  Then they came back to the classroom and made some "things" with recycled items, i.e. paper towel rolls, pipe cleaners, small boxes or jars.  Brian said Carter was the hit of the party after he made him a sword.  Everyone wanted Carter's craft.  They also made a pine cone bird feeder that made a huge mess on my kitchen floor, but that's okay.  Here is a picture of the "lobster" they made. 

Carter drew a picture of his Daddy and answered some questions.  I took a picture, but here is the run down in case you can't read it:
"My name is Carter.  My Daddy's name is Brian."
"My Daddy is 24 years old."
What does your Daddy do?
"Goes on the elevator" - Note, that is Carter's favorite thing to do when he goes to Brian's office.
What is your favorite thing you and your Daddy do together?
"Play toys"
What is your Daddy's favorite thing to eat?
"Pizza"
What makes your Daddy happy?
"Watching the news" - Note, he said this because every morning we have to negotiate who gets to watch what on the TV.  And we always tell him we get to watch the news first :)
"My Daddy is special because he is happy" - Well that's the truth Carter!!
