Remodel Pictures

Bathroom painted a light blue...

3 walls painted darker blue

Not yet finished but oh so close

New Ceiling and painted walls...

This is where I hang out when theres a Tornado...

So lately it seems like we have had to run to the basement a lot due to weather. I have been afraid of tornado's, but Jeremy would rather go chase them. But lately, I have been wanting to just go outside and watch the weather.

But I had to take a picture of Carter enjoying his time in the basement!

What do you get when your sick?

You get the ultimate treatment

Spongebob fruit snacks

T.V. Time in mom and dads room

Tylenol every 4 hours

A bath when hot

Cookies whenever

Chocolate milk at all times

Cool cups to drink beverages out of

Opportunity to eat while watching TV

Spongebob on TV and changed to Clifford when asked

Nap time with mom in mom and dads bed

Popsicles

Chocolate pudding for supper

Story time when demanded.....

Yup that's right. He is the king of his castle (when hes sick that is).

OK so after posting this, I thought to myself....this really should have been a Not Me Monday post instead!

We have been battling a fever with Carter for the last 2 and a half days. We are going to put an end to it and go to see the DR tomorrow morning. After finally getting the idea to look in his throat, and bribing him to letting mommy see I noticed a pretty nasty sore throat.

Silly Boy

And that my friends is our silly boy!

Where do you swing when the swing set is broken???

Carter swings from the rafters of the new garage. Yeah that's right, the swing set blew over, broke and is still waiting to be fixed, so we improvise. Well this wasn't my idea, but it kept Carter entertained for a little while at least!

Hot oven + Carter = upset mommy

So last Wednesday was pretty eventful at our house. It wasn't the eventful that I liked, but I guess we cant always get what we want right. And little boys will be little boys! With that said, after Carter tried out for Batman, he also tried out for the movie 'the little boy who tries to find out how things work'.

(The following all happened within 90 seconds)

I was putting clothes in the washer, while also trying to make supper.

Carter decided to plug in the toaster oven next to the washer.

This was while I ran into the kitchen to grab supper out of the freezer and turn on the oven.

I left knowing that it wasn't plugged in, and suddenly I heard him screaming, so I ran to see what was happening (leaving the freezer open).

He had plugged in the toaster oven, turned it on (which he normally would do but it was always unplugged), and stuck his fingers inside.

I get to the scene, and notice that it is on and freak out, so he cries even more.

He runs to his comfort spot (the recliner which had his blanket).

I get peas and put on his hand, before noticing how bad it was.

Call my mom freaking out, she tells me to put cold water.

I get him into the bath he is now fine. I survey the damage....OUCH

There is the damage!

Grandma shows up, and says wow not as bad as you explained.

He gets out of the tub, and gets to have a band-aid, oh but wait he gets like 10 band-aids.

Then acts like he has just cut his finger off. Well it does look really bad I agree.

After getting to sit in the recliner while eating supper, getting to ride the four-wheeler for an hour, and getting everything he wanted, he was playing but giving some special attention to his hand!

This is where the oven used to be (call us bad parents OK, but it was never plugged in)

"Hot Hot Hot"

And that is where the oven now resides!

We may be bad parents, but we are learning from our mistakes!

I'll try to get pictures of his hand now that it is scabbing over.

Post that never got posted...

So what happens when dad goes out and Mom and Carter have a night together???

We call friends and have a party!!!

Melissa and Payten come out, Melissa makes fun of me for the food that is in my kitchen, and rearranges my food!

The boys say cheese and enjoy spending some time together!

Friends leave and mom and Carter get domestic. We start putting things together! Yah Carter now has his big wheels together and cant even touch the peddles!

(Post was back from March 25Th)

Not Me Monday

I know I have been slacking on my Not Me Monday's, but I have a lot of things I need to get out lately.

Not Me Monday's was created by MckMama. Go ahead checkout her blog. Its very interesting, and I love reading what is going on the MckMama all the time!This blog carnival was created by MckMama. Go ahead checkout her blog. Its very interesting, and I love reading what is going on the MckMama all the time!

The past couple of weeks have been crazy here, and I did not say who cares about the toys all over the floor and not pick them up. Nope Not Me!

I also did not let the kitchen spoon and pot sit on the floor since Carter was playing with them and there toys too right? Nope Not Me!

I did not bribe my son with cookies to make him stop crying, after trying out for Batman and trying to fly off the changing table. Nope not me!

I did not laugh hysterically at a lady who was looking to the sky, and yelling at birds after they had pooped on her car at the clinic, and then I did not continue to laugh as she brushed off the bird poop. Nope Not Me!

I did not let myself get addicted to Harvest Moon tree of tranquility for the Wii, because come on, I have motherly things to do. No Not Me!

After having to go to the doctor for some various reasons, and the doctor saying that I need to loose some weight, I did not laugh hysterically inside, when she told Jeremy that he could stand to loose a few too. Nope Not Me! (that would just be rude right?)

What happens when you leave a little boy to take a nap....

....and he doesn't take a nap?

Well he gets curious!

Explores his clothing by taking them all out of the drawers

Proceeds to get into trouble...

Opens the other dresser and uses the drawers as a ladder.

Takes off diaper, since he is on the changing table.

Then pees on the floor from on the changing table.

Jumps off the changing table to the floor and slips and falls, because he peed on the floor!

Then cries for mommy to come and rescue him.

His plan was a success. He didn't take a nap!

And got to have oreo's for a snack!

What is it grandpa???

Its baby chicks!

Grandpa brought a bucket of baby chicks for Carter to see and he wanted nothing to do with them!

PLAY-DOH

Carter's new found hobby.

Oh yeah mom and dad enjoy too!

What happens when you need a tissue

You get the tissue box.

But the next person that needs a tissue is out of luck!

So you say you can do it faster???

I bet you can't cause this cookie will be gone in no time at all!

Oh yeah like my hair cut?

Ceiling fan oh Ceiling fan

I was looking at a couple different things we could do to the house to improve the air temperature (aka while we wait for AC).

Solution Ceiling fans!

So while Jeremy installed the fan in our bedroom, Carter enjoyed flipping the light on and off. Then he got bored and went on to other things...

Taking his clothes off!

Just amazed

Carter has found a lot of interest in Lilo the hamster lately.

He loves when she gets to come out and play, and loves to protect her so that Bailey doesn't eat her! But he loves to throw the fit when she goes back to her home.

Cause were goin to the park, and were gonna go playing...

Yup that's right, we went to the park and we played!!!

We had a blast too.

Mom and dad had a day off together with me so we went to the park, and played, and played, and played!
