Hi. You've Reached the Carls.

We can't get to the phone right now...

Triple time out

I had them all bathed and ready to go to the elementary.
I just ran to change my clothes,
Rice Krispies, smashed in their hair, it looked like lice.

Don't we look innocent?

Did you know that Desitin is made
to not wash off easily with water and soap?

Yes, that's Syrup Carrie is drinking

The girls run for the pantry whenever
mom is distracted for 2 seconds.

How are we getting that pantry lock undone?

The Bucket List

We had all the kids write something they wanted to do today on a paper and drop it in a bucket. Then we drew them out and did whatever it said. No matter what time of day it was, no matter what the order. The kids thought it was the coolest day ever.

The first paper we drew out was... Make Dinner!
So fun to make tortilla soup with so many helpers.

I was so excited for the 2nd thing that came up,
clean the playroom!
See this room really does have a floor.

The 3rd paper drawn.. Isaiah's -Go for a walk.

The girls had a nap and Sam was excited to
play the phonics game. Doesn't Isaiah look excited about this one?

Notice it's after nap time, and we finally got the get dressed paper.
Then it was play outside (girls choice).

Jacob finally got his choice, play DS

Snuggling with Jacob and Sam

Family Camp In

-Memorial Day-
Sam used his own money to buy
glow necklaces, silly string, and marshmallows.
We had campfire food; hot dogs on the grill and
smores over the stove.

A Big Family

This is from Easter.
It's just another reality check
of how many people I'm in charge of.

Romar's the Man.

Romar grew or caught everything we ate for dinner.
The beets, salad greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, pea pods, onions
and he caught the fish.

We got a raise!

The girls are potty trained!
We trapped them on the tile for 3 days.
What a great husband to help entertain and
help with all the clean up.
Now, how to spend the extra diaper $..

This is the joy of potty success.

Hello Ben

Romar has always wanted to shave his head.
with 12 weeks off, he thought this was the perfect chance.

Benjamin is ready to go home from the hospital.
Thanks to Rainie, he looks so cute!

Triple Trouble

We didn't believe in the terrible twos
until we had 3 of them at once.

We're so glad when Daddy comes home.

The girls love to snuggle with Dad when he gets home from work.
It's getting a little difficult to fit them all on a lap at once.
