Outside Play

Incredible weather! The girls spent some time outside today after being cooped up in the house from sickness!

Putting their babies to bed. I just crack up every day when they do this!

Braids

First time for french braids. I need to practice these...it has been a long time! Kate and Elizabeth don't have enough hair for me to do a good job. Anna was easier to do.

Mimi Visits

Mimi came to visit us this week, and it has been too bad that the kids have been sick, but they love their Mimi!

Playing with their dolls

Rainforest

Today, I took the girls to the Rainforest and met an old friend from high school who lives on the east side of Cleveland. Alice has three kids. I was a little nervous to go with the girls alone, but we actually did very well. We were able to park close and packed a lunch. The Rainforest has a cool tree to climb, quite a few animals to see and an upstairs room with books, tables and space to play.

Last Day of Break

I let Jack pick what we would do today since it was the last day before school started. He chose going to mall to play and eating pretzels. While there, we walked into the Disney store and I let the kids pick out something small. Jack found a Peter Pan journal and the girls found Minnie Mouse nail polish.

Jack got bored and started looking at his baseball cards.

Pretzels for lunch!

While the girls were playing I had a conservation with a woman and it went something like this:

Woman "Are they sisters?"
Me: "Yes."
Woman: "How old are they?"
Me: "Three. They are triplets."
Woman: "So, are they twins?"
Me: "No, they are triplets."
Woman: "They don't look alike."
Me: "They are not identical. They share the same birthday-- born on the same day-- so they are triplets."
Woman confused...walked away.

I have a lot of these encounters and they are quite funny to me!

New Toys

The best thing about Christmas is all the new toys! Here are the girls playing with their new Aquadoodles from Mimi. Jack and John are playing Money, Money from Grandmom.
