You May Live With a 7 yr old Boy If...

You leave him unattended for an hour, only to find the entire downstairs booby-trapped with trip lines and fake grenades...
(His sister also has this same skills, crazy enough.  Not only did they lace the downstairs with trip wires and grenades, they also taped all the light switches, and hid the scissors! Better sleep with one eye open.)

He can turn any activity into a game or a competition...

Marine-pride and baseball heroes adorn the walls...

You own multiple football uniforms...

Slippers come in camoflauge and are kept next to a pair of combat boots...

Going to bed requires some sort of headgear...
(And before bed discussions include his account of the location of Mt. Suribachi and its significance in world history. I think he could pass the AP World History exam soon.)

Sunday afternoons are spent at Revolutionary War reenactments...

Warmer weather always means a game on a field somewhere...

There are legos everywhere you look (and step)...
We love you, Carter!

So cute!! All boy!! Everytime you mention something about Carter, I soooo wish my nephew (about his age) lived closer. They would be great friends - no doubt! Maybe they will meet in a "military" college one day!!!
