half price happy meal night tradition #1

Look at Carter's face.  Right at the exact moment that I snapped this picture, Ryan stuck a french fry in his ice cream and he exlaimed:

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!"

And he didn't like it one bit.

Our tradition is sticking french fries into ice cream and then eating it.  Now Carter's a HUGE fan:

Look at how PROUD Carter is of his creation! He shows it off.  I love the picture of everyone.

And continues to get it all over himself, the table, the chairs and the rest of us.  At least he's consistent! I think that's why we call it a tradition.

will the real Carter please stand up?

Hi! I'm Carter. I am a mess-making, nail-polish painting, always-causing-trouble kinda guy.  While my Mom was sick a few days ago with the stomach flu, we also had some company stay at our house from out of town.  Mom was sick and Dad was busy doing lawyer stuff, I wasn't getting attention that I needed.  I decided to do something about it.

I waltzed upstairs and got into my Mom's fingernail polish.  My favorite is purple, since this isn't the FIRST time I've found it.  I decided to paint the dresser, Dad's suit, Mom's shirts, the carpet, the t.v. screen, and the floor and the wall.

Not to mention I painted MYSELF.

While Mom was basically having a heart attack (the most awful pictures are NOT being posted...), I went downstairs after getting into trouble with the fingernail polish. 

I guess I was bored while all the attention was upstairs so naturally I decided to get into the fridge and take out a half-dozen eggs and proceed to lay them around the house.

I laid 2 in the living room, 2 in the dining room, and 2 in the kitchen. See what happens when you STEP on them?! They BREAK!

Mom sure didn't find it as funny as I did! I got into a little trouble, but because I was so cute and because the mess was so HUGE, she could only sit and laugh.  I then got into the sock basket and spread those all over the rest of downstairs while the egg mess was getting cleaned up. 

All this in a matter of 15 minutes! I got more work done than most adults do all day.  Whew! No wonder I slept so well that night!
