a little about carter bo barter

"Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing."
~Phyllis Diller
I don't know what to do with this KID! Something so little can make such big messes! He can empty a nicely-folded laundry basket FULL of clean clothes in a matter of seconds. He's amazing, he's got some sort of superpower.



What's fun about having toys all over the room when you can play with the tub that they belong in?!


And why play underneath when you can play on the top?





He's a mooch. He loves food that can be eaten on the go.

Oh and speaking of food, this afternoon he's eaten a permanent marker, some bites of yellow chalk and washed it down with bubble liquid.

I didn't realize it but when I went to go find the marker he had for snack, this is what else I found. It was like walking into a nightmare:
-marker on the wall
-marker on the desk
-toys ALL OVER the room (YES! He can drag the big toy and physically topple it over to make a big crash and an even bigger mess) -marker and crayon on the window
-the CD player was actually skipping and stuck on a certain part of the CD


I love my kid, but this is what I found myself doing today as I was bathing him...looking awful forlorn because of the HUGE mess I have to go clean now...

I'm really in for it if this is what is in store for me. My little guy is the biggest mess maker ever, but your little guy tops it:) I like how you stay so positive about it all, and make light of a funny situation. They are too cute while being so destructive.

What a cute kid. What a cute pictures of you even if you do look forlorn. I wish I looked that pretty when things are stressful!

Can I just quietly say that this is why you let your kids live...so they can experience having children who are just like they were? :P And what a pretty picture of you! You are GORGEOUS!

Okay, we are going to have to get our boys together...but maybe there would be no house left standing afterwards.
