Asher conversations...

Asher says WHAT? after everything I say.

He acts like he can't hear you and after everything you say he says "what?". And then you repeat what you said and he still says "what?".

I honestly think he just needs to digest what you are saying and think about it for a minute, and to earn that minute he throws out the "what?".

The bad thing is he does it so much that sometimes I can't take it anymore. So I'll say, "I know you heard me." Or something like, "what did you think I said?"

So this was the conversation with his dad...

Tom: You need to clean up your room little man.
Ash: grr... blah... grr. (mumbling something incoherent)
Tom: What?
Ash: I know you heard me.

Speeding ticket...

I got pulled over for speeding today. Asher was surprisingly underwhelmed by the whole situation. I thought he'd be so excited to see the policeman.

After he got my info and went to write the ticket, Ash was over it and ready to leave. I told him we had to wait for the ticket.

Ash: Will he bring two tickets? One for you and one for me?
Me: No. You don't get one. Just me.
Ash: Oh. Well, I can't clean up your mess momma.

Touché

He has been having a hard time cleaning lately and I always remind him that myself and his teachers can't always clean up after him.

Recipe - Stacy's Famous Phili Clubs (k&hf)

Amazing sandwiches that take hardly any time and everyone LOVES... and since I made these out of the blue I take credit for them by always making sure to call them by their name...

Me: What do you want for dinner?
Tom: Those sandwiches you make.
Me: Say it by their name.
Tom: Not a chance.
Me: Do it.
Tom: Fine "Stacy's famous phili clubs." Now will you just make me a sandwich?

Ok... that might be an exaggeration...

1/2 pound hickory smoked honey turkey deli meat
1/2 pound honey ham deli meat
3 slices of onion (cut in half)
1/2 container mushroom slices
3 1/2 hoagie rolls (1/2 for Ash)
swiss cheese slices

saute the onions and mushrooms.
cut the meat into 1" squares.
add the meat to veggies in pan.
sprinkle with season salt, pepper, and garlic powder

I section this mess into four piles in the pan and throw swiss cheese slices on top of the piles. Then cook until its melted... and put the pile in a hoagie.

You can mayo the hoagie... or add bacon... tom likes his with tomatoes.

Yummy and so easy.

painfully clear...

It's becoming painfully clear that I have no time anymore to do any blogging.

I've worked so hard all summer on web sites and I *almost* want to gag at the site of my computer.

Until I can find the will power to stay on long enough to dump my camera... (hopefully soon)... enjoy some more pictures I took of Asher [whilst pretending I know what I'm doing].








and just because I adore her... maybe just two more of Addi's eyelashes...



Don't you wish you had eyelashes like that?

little stud...

After Addi's pictures ended up being all right...


today was Asher's turn to experience my completely amateur photography skills...

He is such a doll. Seriously. I couldn't ask for a better kid. After a small bribe of a sprite (which he calls mountain dew) and treat from the gas station he totally let me take a bunch of pictures.








He doesn't sit still... so you just get what you can while he moves.

He's such a cute little hippie.

Asher conversations...

Asher likes to drop a few clean expletives from time to time...

He often says "oh my freaking heck"...

I cringe, then laugh.

His neighborhood friend Christian was over this weekend to play. He doesn't talk a ton yet, although he is almost four... for some reason this equates to Asher as him being younger than him. He kept calling him "sweetie."

"oh, sweetie..."

It was hilarious.

Speaking of hilarious...

another funny thing he says (and this is when he is being sarcastic)... "that's fabulous".

"Did you remember my spiderman?"
no...
"that's fabulous."
