Having Fun!

All three kids are miraculously sleeping at the same time, so I thought I'd post some pictures of them. Ethan and Mia are doing well. They are just getting over their spring-time cold. I've been wiping runny noses for about 3 weeks now, so I'm glad they're all feeling better!

I'm going to take another stab at potty-training on my next weekend off. I know a lady who works with autistic children and she teaches them (and their parents) how to potty-train. She told me to flood the kids with fluid and take them to the bathroom every 15 minutes. If they don't pee immediately, take them right off and take them back in 15 minutes to try again. I think that's where I went wrong the last time. I had Mia sit on the potty-chair for a few minutes if she didn't go right away, and she quickly got sick of that. Wish us luck!

Mike and I have actually planned a vacation in August. The last vacation we went on was to Rocky Point, Mexico, shortly before I got pregnant with the twins. It's been 3 1/2 years since we've gone somewhere together, alone, for an extended period of time! Mike needs to go to Washington DC for a work conference, so I'm tagging along. We'll be gone 4-5 days. There's so much to see and do there, we'll barely scratch the surface. I'm so excited for our trip! I've all ready checked and the motel has a spa. Hello full-body massage. And maybe a facial. I can't wait! My mom and sister are graciously going to watch our little punks while we're gone.

Mia fell asleep on the couch with her baby. This is the doll they all fight over. I need to get a couple more of these! Ethan won't leave clothes on it.

Not sure what this face is for!

Yes, Ethan has another black eye. He did it the day before his big speech evaluation. Nothing like a big black eye when people from the state visit! The evaluators asked me if he falls a lot. I'm not exactly sure where they were going with that. Maybe they saw all the bruises on his legs? For the record, he falls ALL of the time. I made sure to tell them that his doctor said he has flat feet and that could be the reason why he falls all of the time.

As Mike always says, "the twins that don't look like twins."
