This big boy became officially potty trained in December. I love love love those little boy buns, or lack thereof. :) He was a champ, no accidents through the day or night after about a week of training.
We have a little tradition at the dinner table (that is, when we're not eating in a rush at the counter!) where we have a little pig. The pig watches everyone eating, and if someone isn't having good manners, they get the pig, which means they get to clean up dinner. Charlie really likes the pig.
Not even posed at all! I actually don't really mind folding laundry, it gives me an excuse to sit and watch a show or two, which is a huge luxury these days. Getting the kids to put their clothes away is a different story.
Our Christmas tree, half decorated
One day, I was sitting on the couch during the late morning and heard a "Boom!" not unlike the sounds the garbage truck makes when it is making its rounds. A few minutes later, I noticed a buzz going on outside our house. I opened the door and looked outside, and this magnificent oak tree that was really the highlight of our neighborhood had crashed and fallen during a storm. It was pretty insane, and sad. We figure the tree wasn't getting enough water with the drought, we'd noticed it wasn't looking too good. And the huge miracle in it all is that there were no cars or kids where the tree fell. Our neighborhood gets a lot of school foot and car traffic, what a huge relief no one was hurt. It took our neighbors a few weeks to chop up and get rid of the tree.

More results from the storm
Our vent hood was one of the last projects to finish in our house. We were stumped for so long on how to cover it. We finally had a custom cover made, and B got to put it up. It looks awesome!
We have since tiled all the way up to the ceiling.
One adventure in potty training, this guy needed to go while he was scootering, so he decided to just go in the street. At least it wasn't in his pants!
Snug as a bug in a rug
We had a puzzle contest to see who could do a puzzle the fastest.
Look who smoked his brother and sister! He's a puzzle whiz.
Poor Brady got a skin infection from something he picked up at wrestling. We tried just about every treatment imaginable: fungal, bacterial, viral. I believe it was impetigo in the end.
Me and Lu going for jog after Christmas. She smoked me and was wondering why I wasn't going faster. That cross country was good for her.
Wrestling, wrestling, wrestling...
