Hola amigos.

What's up with you?

Not much at the House of Deuce. We are preparing for our vacation to UNNAMED CARIBBEAN ISLAND LOCATION and we're all getting excited. Boo and Maddie are really looking forward to going to a foreign territory and throwing up there. I can't blame them....they've thrown up on everything we have here, and they must be bored out of their throw-up litle minds. I'm excited for them too. I can't wait to see them throw up somewhere besides on me, the floor, Kelli, Grandma, or the couch. To think we opted out of leaving the living room floor all concrete and installing floor drains....dumb move on my part. I really think we could've dressed up a hose bibb in the living room.

We've all been sick this past week, and it's been tough. Kelli brought back some cooties from her trip to Sin City (insert awkward sex joke here) and decided to share them with the rest of Team Karr Max. So what that means is that little baby noses are full of snot and other nasty stuff to mix in with the disgusting drool/formula/other weird baby food shiny glossy beard that the girls sport all day, and is slowly sponged up by their cute little bibs they wear all day. Paints a picture doesn't it?

Oh well...poor little devils don't feel good, can't sleep because they can't breathe, and no one else can sleep because they can't, and we're all sick. I'm telling you, Mother Nature is a b*tch.

Once I felt it coming on....you know, the burning eyes, the aches....I started eating those zinc lozenges which, I must say, WORK, and you can tell they work because they taste like dogpoo. Well, I've never tasted it to know, but I can imagine they taste pretty similar.

Why can't they invent medicine that tastes good, or even has no taste at all? I mean, that's three options right there....tastes good, tastes like crap, or has no taste, and the medicine people consistently choose "tastes like crap" every time. I don't understand that. Do they do it so we won't walk around chowing down on medicine? I mean, they should actually WANT that to happen so they'd make more money. Wouldn't it be cool that if you got sick, you had to eat M&M's all day? "Oh crud, I'm sick, I better go to Sam's and buy the giant M&M's bag and get to it". That would be awesome. That's why it will never happen. They should make medicine that tastes like M&M's. Stupid medicine people.

SO, I think we're all starting to feel better today though. K-Dog went to the doctor today to get her meds, and because I ate the horrible zinc, my cold didn't last too long (plus I'm strong as a bull) and the girls are on some sort of medicine so I think we're all good. As long as the girls' Eustachian tubes are clear by flight time, I think we'll be fine (look it up).

So, better close for now...I know I promise to write more but I never do so...Maybe I'll stop promising and start delivering.

I hope you enjoy the picture below. (Yep, and we only THOUGHT we lost the label maker when we moved....IT'S BACK!).

Adios...

Hey there!

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update as to the goings-on in Deuce Land. Everything is going pretty well. The girls are doing great and are just happy little monkeys.

Kelli is doing great, and got a new haircut yesterday. She is such a super-fox as I'm sure'd you'd agree.



I'm a lucky dude.

I'm busy with work and starting numerous projects here in the metroplex and Austin...it's tough getting debt for deals but not impossible. We're swamped and getting busier every day.

We're excited because in a few weeks we'll be taking a weeklong vacation to "a gentle beachy location" and I'm readying myself by going on a margarita fast until we get there. Should be fun. I'm also planning on being ripped for the vacation, so I've been doing some push-ups and toe-touches. Even jumping jacks. I know, I'm an animal. I hope I'm not mistaken for a lifeguard and I have to save someone...that would be embarrassing.

I've included some pics in a strip below of the girls. They are too cute. Right now the girls are really honing their numerous talents....Maddie is working on her frog-jump, where she leaps into the air out of her chair, bouncy, DJ-booth, etc....which is a lot of fun for Kelli and probably doesn't help Maddie's puke machine too much. Man that girl can throw up. She's like a sorority girl she pukes so much.

Boo Boo has lately been practicing her singing technique, which consists of laying in a chair like a lump of junk and squealing at the top of her lungs. She's not quite ready for American Idol yet, unless they start allowing car alarms or fire alarms into the competition...then she'd have a good shot. It's really quite ear-splitting, and I'm sure it hurts Maddie's giant ear.

The girls are getting BIG and have just now started eating meat....which is truly disgusting. Not like they're gnawing on a chicken bone, which might be fun to try...A few nights ago, Kelli whips out this baby food jar labeled "Meat"...Lord only knows what kind or what part of the animal it came from. Neither of the girls liked it, in fact, if the look on their faces were any indication, she may have been feeding them battery acid...man they hated it. I had a taste of it and, I'm telling you, it tasted like what you'd get if you took a roll of toilet paper, and boiled it in some old chicken broth and canned tuna juice, then cooled it off and grabbed a big spoonfull for yourself....HORRIBLE!

Don't these people taste this stuff? And for the record, don't ever eat "Meat" that is in a jar...it's generally a bad idea. In a can is also bad, but in a jar is so terrible...like I want to see this stuff in a glass jar!

So, we're vegetarian babies for now...I can't let my kids eat that meat stuff...the vegetables are bad enough. For some reason, baby food tastes like throw up to me...blecchh...babies are gross.

So, enough ranting for now. I need to go grab a bite to eat because I'm ripped now. My atheltic body requires high-octane fuel, you see.

Anywho....better get back to work...I will try to keep up the blog a little better than I have....well maybe a lot better.

See ya.
