College Bound

While I had my girly weekend away scrapbooking, the guys were just fine on their own. Not that I had any doubts.

For fun, Daddy and Carter road-tripped up to UW-Eau Claire to visit Casey. This was Carter's first time at college and he thought is was pretty cool. Of course, not every kid has a big flat-screen TV in his dorm room like his big brother ...or lives on a co-ed floor in a dorm like his big brother. But, in Carter's mind, no one is cool like his big brother either! So he was just thrilled to be there and "hang."

They took Casey out to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings. Carter was an immediate fan -- because they have BBQ ribs, of course. (In fact, he had hoped to go to the one in Stevens Point on Sunday, too, but that didn't pan out.)

After the visit, he remarked several times how cool it was. How awesome. Good to know he is excited to get to college (for whatever reason)! Maybe that'll keep him motivated. I'm pretty sure he won't get there on a soccer scholarship.

No, that's not mean. I'm just an honest mother. He does just fine and I am happy he enjoys it. Only us parents care that after tonight's loss against Stevens Point, their -- I mean our -- team is 0-2-1. We have a whole lot of games left so maybe we're just off to a slow start!

Still wouldn't hurt to have a backup plan for college... like, say, good grades.
