GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!

These are the conditions we have been living in for the last few weeks. We are trying to get our basement finished. The pics are of my upstairs so imagine what the downstairs looks like.It's been a slow process. Karl and I are not do it yourselfers so we rely on our brothers help. It has been driving me bonkers. I'm a fairly clean person and this is what I have to get up and look at every morning. I do clean, everyday but there is so much dust involved in sheetrocking. Who'd of known. We are on the downhill slide now. We just have touch ups to do then the carpet comes on Friday. HOORAY!! Now all that is left is the bathroom then our house is done, sort of. That's all yours dad!

Hudson loves to sleep with his blanket over his face. Which gives me a coronary. I always sneak in and pull it off but it's the only way he'll fall asleep.

Snowy Days

There isn't much to this video but I love the way Karter says snowman. So I had to share.

We are potty training again. It is going much better this time. We have been at it for three days. The first day Karter had three accidents, two of which were my fault. I did not realize that he was trying to tell me he had to go. Yesterday he did not have a single accident and was still dry when he got up this morning. We even had to go on two outings yesterday. Today went great until about noon. We had our friend over for lunch and Karter was sitting on my lap and then I felt the warm sensation. I was like "AHHH! You peed on me." He preceeded to have three more accidents in the next 15 minutes. I even had him on the toilet for some of that time. I don't think he has realized that he has to empty his bladder out completely. But I think he knows what he is supposed to do. He tells me if he has to go so I think it won't take him long. I found out yesterday after the third time of sitting on the toilet to go poop that Karter thinks he has to sit on the toilet when he passes gas. When he lets it loose we have always said "Eww you pooped your pants" so when we say he has to poop on the toilet I guess he thinks he is. It's so cute to see him running around in his under-roos. He's so grown up. :(

New cut and color. I love the color, don't so much love the cut.

Hey! I just figured out the whole blogging thing and now you are all switching to Facebook. What the H!

Sorry I always forget that I can't hold my camera that way on videos. This was just so darn cute I had to share. Karter will carry the dirty clothes from my room and throw them in the washer. He has always helped me carry them but I had never seem him try to put them in the washer. I walked around the corner and there he was chucking them in.

So...is it just me or do you all get the same way? After you have a baby and the shock has worn off do you feel like you need a change or your going to go crazy? By change I mean a new haircut, a new clothing style, SOMETHING! But your never quite sure what it is. You try different things and they don't seem to satisfy the urge. I'm so there right now. Or is it just because it's winter and we are stuck inside?

Karl and I had a grown up day yesterday. It was so nice. Karl gave me a gift certificate for a massage for Christmas so I made us an appointment to get one done together. (Don't laugh all you manly boys you know you want one.) After that we went to see Valkyrie; good but depressing. Then we went to the mall and Karl didn't complain once. Maybe that is because after the movie we went to the jewelry store and bought Karl his third wedding ring. Yes I said third. It was so nice to not have to get the kids in and out of the car and to be able to eat a meal without wearing Karter's. Lovely.

So if you read our profile you know that Karl decided to do a detox. He did great... for one meal and two sips. Breakfast wasn't that bad. Blackberries, strawberries, pineapples, apples and celery blended up with a touch of ginger and cinnamon. Lunch time rolls around and it is; carrots, celery, beets, apples, spinach, cabbage, cucumbers and parsley blended together. Can anyone say YUCK!! It had a nice maroon color thanks to the beets but wow not good. Karl took one sip and was like "oh my gosh. I can't do this." I was like "uh, I spent all morning chopping and blending veggies you're going to do it." One more failed attempt to get it down and he said no way and poured it down the drain. Silly Karl. Thirty dollars down the drain, literally.

Karter likes to pull things around the house in his sled. He started out with Curious George. Today we decided on Hudson. (Karter has tape on his head. Don't ask. I don't know.)

Hudson seemed to have fun. He sat and watched as things passed him by. Sunny looked on with gratitude that it wasn't him. Not that Karter didn't think about that.

Watch it in action.
