You Know You're a Triplet Mom When...

1.  The Itsy Bitsy Spider plays over and over in your head.

2.  Your husband doesn't refuse to go to the grocery store.  He actually offers.

3.  You have to use a crock pot to warm bottles... because waiting on one bottle warmer to warm one bottle at a time would take WAY too long.

4.  You're a professional at making cocktails... Milk Cocktails that is.

5.  You have a 'Pumping Station' with multiple sets of pumping supplies so you don't have to waste time cleaning every time.

6.  You are an expert in efficiency.  You have to make sure you use your time wisely.  The more you can multi-task, the better.

7.  You had to buy a cargo carrier for the top of your Yukon in order to take your family and all of their stuff on a weekend trip... heck, just a day trip.

8.  You're not afraid to catch a little vomit in your hand.

9.  You are an expert at doing everything with one hand.  Fold laundry, eat dinner, make a milk cocktail.

10.  You have to count your babies to make sure they are all there.  1,2, 3.... 1, 2, 3.... 1, 2, "uh,uh, O crap.... Oh there she is" 3.

11.  You have a log book of every feeding, poopy diaper, fever, and medication given.

12.  You feel like you should be throwing beads as if on a Mardi Gras parade any time you are out in public because of all of the attention.

13.  You are covered in spit up and drool by the end of the day... and sometimes a little poop.

14.  You make a pot of coffee and forget to put in the coffee (at least once a week).

15.  Your heart is full of love.  Being a triplet Mom is my normal.  I love it and I wouldn't want it any other way.  



Triplets' Christmas Take 2

I was so looking forward to Christmas time this year!  Well Christmas 2014 that is.  I know it is way past Christmas now but I'm finally getting around to posting pictures.  Instead of doing multiple posts of all the different things over the holidays, I'm posting everything right here.  Beware... there are A LOT of pictures, so I will leave the words to a minimum.  I was looking forward to Christmas because the girls will somewhat grasp the concept of opening presents and receiving gifts.  Plus its fun to dress three girlies up in cute Christmas clothes.

On Thanksgiving, we took some pictures to put on our Christmas card and these are just some of them.

We took pictures with Santa on December 8 at Hearthstone Country Club, the same place as last year.  The girls love cartoon Santa, picture Santa, Santa in books, but... they are TERRIFIED of real Santa.  This is the best we got...

Sisters?  Cookies and gold fish calmed them down after Santa.

My parents took the girls to the mall and gave them reindeer antlers.

Pictures infront of the tree at Meme and Grandpop's Christmas party.

Christmas celebration at my Aunt Becky and Uncle Jim's.

Everyone has to be carrying someone, right?

Since we moved, we have been so involved on our street.  On December 23, we had a snowball fight!  It was so much fun.  We had to buy snowballs from a local shaved ice place.  Me and the girls stayed clear of the heavy traffic but even Taylor tried to participate.

Pictures from Christmas Eve.

My new favorite picture with my girls :)

Christmas day was so exciting.  We (the parents) were exhausted.  The girls all had a cold and we didn't get much sleep.  The morning started early for us at around 7:15.  We brought the girls downstairs to see what Santa brought them, then we fed them breakfast, then we opened gifts.

I love Taylor's expression of pure amazement of washcloths.

We arrived at Nana and Pawpaw's around 10:45 AM.  We did gifts first and then fed the girls.  While they napped, we all had our Christmas lunch.

Around 4 PM we headed to Meme and Grandpop's house.  The girls were excited to get their table and chairs as well as their play kitchen.

And the perfect way to end Christmas... Whoop-de-doos, of course!

On December 27 we did our annual Christmas celebration with my friends.  Every year the amount of people grow with husbands and kids.  It is so much fun.

The girls played with all of the toys while we ate dinner.

Peek-a-boo!

Christmas at my Aunt Frances' river house on the Frio River.  So much family, so much chaos, so much fun!  

All of the kids exchanged books.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!!!
