Where did he learn that??

Some of the things that Carter is saying and doing got me thinking, where did he learn that? For example, when he is in another room I will ask "Carter, what are you doing?" and he will reply very sweetly 'Nothing, Mommy'. I learned very quickly this isn't an accurate status update! Another example, the other day we were playing down stairs and he dissappeared to the main floor so I asked 'Carter, what are you doing?' (you would think I would have learned by now) and this time I got nothing but silence......now when this happens it is a cue to run as fast as you can to see what he is distroying! Jaice rushes up the 4 stairs (well that makes it sound a little less dramatic) to find Carter trying to build a tower to climb up to get the Halloween chocolates off the mantel. Ok, his love of sweets migh have been inherited, but figuring out he needed to build something to get to them, I want to know who taught him that???
There aren't a lot of pictures this time because Carter has decided he doesn't want to sleep....even though he needs it. He was grumpy all day Monday and then Monday night he woke up at 1:30 am....yes you read that right!!! I layed with him and sang him every song I know. I think he slept for a total of an hour more by the time 6 rolled around. Needless to say yesterday was a long grumpy day and you don't want to see pictures of that!
This morning we built a tower out of blocks, and I told him towers are just for building and knocking down, not climbing on! Later today we are making turkeys out of the pinecones we used to paint with the other day. When I told Carter we were making turkeys today, he laughed and said 'oops silly turkey'. To understand what he is talking about you need to read 'Red Hat, Blue Hat'. For those of you that don't have the book it has a turkey in it that keeps putting clothing on the wrong body parts. So when Carter reads it (yes he is that smart and can 'read' the whole book) and gets to the turkey he laughs and says 'oops silly turkey'.
In Kinley news, she is starting to 'talk' so much more! She mostly talks to the ceiling fan (much like her brother did). It is so adorable seeing her smile at us now. I was so impressed and proud that she is really starting to follow me everywhere with her eyes until today. I was taking her upstairs and she was looking at the fan, she tried to keep track of that fan longer then she has ever paid attention to me! I guess it's her way of keeping me humble. She is getting bigger everyday. I think her eyelashes migh be longer then Carter's, they are just lighter. I will replace the batteries in the camera and get pictures of her as well today!
I will post pictures whe the kids are sleeping tonight.
We miss everyone lots!
