Just a few things...

Oh my goodness, these kids are crazy! Here's the exchange between them right now:
(Ayris and Asher start fighting over some SpongeBob valentines' cards)
Mommy: Ayris, can you just try to include him? Then he might not irritate you so much.
(In her nicest possible voice)
Ayris: Sure mom. Asher, could you please go away from me for a while??
Mommy: Um...that's not exactly what I meant by "including him"...I meant that you should try to get him involved in what you're doing
Ayris: Okay, Asher, (couldn't hear all of what she was saying) about this cow?
(Asher just starts messing up her cards again and Ayris starts yelling at him)
Ayris: Get away from me Asher...you're freaking making me mad! Darn, Darn Darn MAD!
(He continues to pester her so I jump in)
Mommy: ASHER! Quit annoying your sister...do you want a spanking (again with these idle threats)??
Asher: No mommy, don't spank me.
Mommy: Okay, then leave your sister alone!
Asher: Well...you can spank me a little.
I just started laughing at that point. I seriously can't win with these kids...they're just too funny and smart.

Here are a few pictures from the past couple of days.

This is Asher finding a good use for his "RIBBIT" potty. Starting on Monday, we will be starting the 3 day potty training method...so hopefully by Wednesday or Thursday, we'll be all grown up!

Asher put Ayris' feather boa in the bathtub and when I came in to get her out, she had found a new use for it.
So Asher's new obsession is with the spray butter. He's been interested in it for a while but the other morning, I saw him walking around with it (I had left the kitchen baby gate open apparently) and just decided to let him have it.

The following morning, I was getting ready for my 24 week appointment when I walked into his room and found him yet again with the butter! He thought he was being sneaky!

Today I decided to put on my good mom hat and let the kids play out in the snow...armed with some Tupperware containers and a few spatulas.

AND, I'm not sure what kind of stance this is but when I asked Ayris to pose for this picture, this is what she did...

Thanks to Grandma Molly for this orange shirt and the other clothes you sent. The kids liked them...and I'm not sure if Asher will be getting his shirt back...Ayris seemed to like this best =) BTW Grandma Molly, if you wake up in the middle of the night with the sudden urge to buy some other cotton items that can be worn by little people...Adler subliminally told me to let you know that he'd like some BumGenius or Grobaby cloth diapers...wink...wink...=P I'm just saying...I think he was a little jealous to hear all of the excitement from the other two this afternoon =)

On another note...I had my 1 hour glucose test yesterday. My doctor excitedly sent me a note saying "YOU PASSED!" after getting the results...when I looked at the normal range, it was 60-130...and my number was 129. Um hello...aren't we a little close to the better-start-resisting-those-sweets-before-you-pop-out-a-15-pound-baby-range??? I emailed her back and she said we could go ahead and do the 3 hour test (yeah, cuz I'm SUPER excited to drink even more of that stuff and then SIT there for 3 hours!) or we could just monitor my urine samples. Well really, when you think about it, how accurate are those urine samples? If you could find out everything you had to know by that stuff, then why would there by a need for the 1 and 3 hour tests to begin with? SO...I don't know where we're at...she's not in again until Monday so we'll see. I suggested just doing the 1 hour test again at 28 weeks but if worse comes to worse, I'll just do the 3 hour and suck it up.

The little man did hear my request for hiccups though because he is now having them regularly...and they're not quite like I imagined. He seems to have them with his whole body...like there's little earthquakes going on in there...but none the less, still exciting.
