Once Upon A Time...

there were three babies who were getting tired of the same ol' same ol' everyday with their parents. They wished they could go out and play and that the weather would get warmer. Mostly, they wished their parents would stop acting so crazy just to get them to smile and laugh.

Caleb: "Let's break out of here. Mom and Dad are getting crazier by the day."


Zachary: "I'm on board. Leah what do you think? "

Leah: "I don't know guys, seems kind of risky. They'd probably find out. I actually kind of like them."


Caleb: "Well, we could easily take the hinges off the door and get out that way..."

Zachary: "Hmmm....there's got to be a better way. Let me think."

Leah: "I don't want to go!! Don't make me!"


Leah: "I just want to stay here and look into our big mirror..."


...and have daily meetings about the toys we should play with for the day..."



...and lay on our cool foam tiles!"


Caleb: "I guess you're right. This door seems pretty big anyway. I do like those foam tiles now that you bring them up."

Zachary: "I guess Mom and Dad aren't that bad. We could probably deal with them for a little longer."

THE END

P.S. We went to a consignment sale this past weekend and did pretty good for ourselves! We picked up TONS of foam tiles that we were wanting to cover our hard tile floors. Babies are rolling and will soon be sitting so if we can avoid cracked-open heads that would be great. That picture above shows only a portion of the tiles so we'll have enough to cover ALL our tile. We also got a choo-choo wagon, clothes, books, and lots of toys. We're learning that no matter how many toys we will buy our kids, they'll always want more. It's overwhelming. My point of this additional story is that my "stranger quote of the week" came from this sale. We had put our names on the choo-choo wagon but did not want to pull it around while we shopped so we told the sale volunteer worker we'd come back.

When we did, the news of 'the triplet couple' had spread among workers. One came in while we were picking up the wagon and said,

Worker: "so you're the triplet couple we've heard about huh?? You DO like tired."

Then I muttered something about how I had been up since 6am or something. Who knows. SO AWKWARD! Geeez, I'm not the 'triplet' mom I'm the 'tired' mom. Which is true but for real?! Who says that? Was it that I wasn't wearing make up? or hadn't done my hair? or that I was wearing an oversized sweat shirt? Whatever it was, apparently I'm the tired, frumpy mom now. :) I really am not offended at the comment at all but I hate when people say that. It's just a polite way of saying you look terrible. The nurses at the NICU would tell me that all the time when really I was getting great nights of sleep at home with no babies there.

Anyway, to many more awkward comments. Tomorrow is six month shots. Yikes!
