"I've got a great idea..."

It seems like all the action happens during "room time". You know, the time in the afternoon when little ones, who are too old to nap, have some quiet "down" time to make it through the evening. Perhaps, if truth be told, their mom needs it just as much as they do. But regardless of who needs it most, it is the time when all the fun seems to happen. How two kids who have very limited language skills agree to all the mischief is something we still haven't figured out. (We've actually set up our video camera to try and record the progression of events...)

Here are Mom's top 5 suggested room time activities...
#5 Read
#4 Play with blocks
#3 Play with dolls
#2 Write on the magna doodle
#1 Take a short nap

Emily and Ashley's top 5 room time activities...
#5 Get a brand new package of wipes and pull out all 100-one at a time.
#4 Sneak into the bathroom, get a new tube of medicine and smear
it all over our bodies.
#3 Take out every article of clothing from our drawers.
#2 Get naked and put on snow boots.
#1 Poop together in our diapers.

At least the poop stays in the diapers (or does it?):). I'm guessing they're recovering well since they have the energy to get into mischief. I'm sure they'll get a kick out of the videos later on. Was it an uneventful (little pain, no trips back to the doctor) weekend of recovery?

Ha! Too funny, at least for those of us not dealing with it! Hoping the recovery is going well too!
