Fun at the breakfast table

Sometimes it's the small funny things that make a day start off good. My kids seem to be getting goofier and developing their own sense of humor. Of course, everything is monkey see monkey do!

Here's a funny short video on this subject!

Watch "Another glimpse into raising triplets" on YouTube

Smarter and smarter

Well, they are getting smart. In order to see out of the window Logan stacked the stool on top of the plastic tote. Sigh. Nothing is safe anymore!

Fun in the tub

Logan is having a blast in the tub by himself. The tub just isn't big enough for all 3 without extreme fighting anymore! LOL  I figured it was time to start letting them do a few things here and there on their own anyway, makes it feel a little more special! Plus now they aren't possibly sitting in each other's filth he he he

I got pictures of Logan and Nora but Clara was first so I didn't think about it!

Wow what a weekend!

I can officially say that my holiday season has begun! Friday I took off work to go shopping with the Schreck women and boy can they shop! I can now say that I've been inside a Walmart for 5 hours! :-) BUT, I got the kids Christmas Day and Christmas Eve outfits, some odds and ends Christmas needs AND some of my shopping done. So, it was a fun day!

Yesterday I went shopping again with my wonderful friends from work on Main Street in St Charles. That was a lot of fun as well. Didn't really get much Christmas shopping done, but it's always great to get out with friends and have a sitter at home!

We're starting to teach the kids Christmas words and Nora's got "gobble gobble" down pat pretty good. All three of them are starting to talk a lot more and saying each other's names. We've all got the cold AGAIN. All three are coughing and runny noses. Although they aren't as bad today as they were yesterday morning so hopefully it's on its way out of the house.

I'm starting to get pretty excited about the holidays. Even though they don't quite fully understand what's going on, it's more than they understood last year. I have a feeling it won't take them long to figure out how to open their presents. :-)

They DO love each other!

One of the cutest things I had ever seen was when Nora and Clara started hugging on their own. They stayed that way for awhile too, long enough for me to get my phone and snap a picture! They don't do it often, but when they do it it is awesome! I hope they have many more years of loving each other like this!

Big Boy Bed!

I can't believe it, but at only 19.5 months Logan is officially in a "big boy bed" (toddler bed). As many people know, he was in our bed EVERY night. He would go to sleep in his crib just fine, but a few hours later would wake up and want in our bed. Well, there finally came a time where he would not even be happy in our bed. He would wiggle and ine and keep us up all night. So, we decided to give it a shot, and it worked! I guess maybe he just felt trapped in his crib or something. At first he would wake up and come into our room, Rob would just put him back and and he would cry for a minute or two and then he'd go to sleep. Before when we would do that with his crib he would cry for up to an hour before giving up. Tonight when we laid him down for "night night" he said "bye bye" and "night night" to us before we closed the door. He's getting so big and this definitely makes me feel like they are growing up too fast!

Been too long!

Wow, I realize that I haven't updated the blog in quite awhile. It's been a busy couple of months and it just got away from me. Hard to believe that the kids are 19 months old already! They have been talking up a storm lately, repeating just about everything we say. It's so great to hear them develop a vocabulary.

In August we started taking them to a day care twice a week. I think they are really starting to enjoy it. They get to play with other kids, different toys, and just get to get out of this tiny house! At first Logan and Clara would cry when we dropped them off, but just today Logan didn't cry at all and Clara just whined a little bit when we left. So I think they are getting used to it and making new friends!

The first week of September we went on vacation to Branson with the Moyers and the Baiters. That was a great time! The kids had a lot of fun. it was kind of cool so swimming wasn't exactly the best activity we did, but we attempted it and got one use of their swimming suits! :-) We all stayed in one condo which was pretty nice. The Sanders clan had the whole top floor so that we didn't bother anyone. Although we were usually the first to get up in the morning. I think everyone enjoyed themselves and it was nice to just get away for awhile!

Well, I am sure I am missing a lot that has happened in the last two months but will try to remember and blog about anything big that happened!
