Busy, Busy!

I know it's been a while since my last post but it's been busy around here!  (go figure, hey?!)  The days go by so fast when you're feeding three babies every three hours and entertaining a three-year-old at the same time... wow, that's a lot of "threes"!  Speaking of three... our little boy turned three on February 15th!!  Here are some shots of his party... which was much simpler this year... he still seemed to have a great time though!

His craft that day was to decorate his birthday crown:

King for the Day!

He loves the musical cards... makes opening the cards almost as fun as the presents!  This giant card from Auntie Natalie sings the chicken dance

I try to make his birthday cakes every year and I didn't want to make an exception this year... however after spending hours decorating this spiderman cake (which Griffin didn't even want a bite of!) I have a more open mind towards  purchasing a cake from a bakery ;)

Blowing out the candles...

Here he is modelling his new Bench jacket from Auntie Nat... lookin pretty stylin'!



My sweet little man spent a few days this week being "not so sweet" and I was getting kind of worried that age 3 was going to be challenging since it seemed as though he already decided mommy was not all that cool and kind of a nag.  However, his sweet self seems to have returned and I'm thinking those couple days of grumpiness were him adjusting to life with 3 new babies.  The other morning I saw him on the video monitor in the babies' room saying "good morning baby... you awake now? you gonna open your eyes?" to each one in the cutest little voice... he really loves these babies and I am so proud of how gentle and kind he is to them! 

The babies have had a rough go with a nasty cold... Fletcher just got hit with it yesterday and he is one sad little man.  I hope they are all better soon!  This past Wednesday Tara and Dara invited me to the movies... the theatre here has what they call "stars and strollers"... they offer two matinee movies for mommies with babies... so everyone in the theatre has a baby with them and if they're noisy, everyone understands!  Tara tried to convince me that we'd be just fine if I brought my three... hahaha... but my mom offered to stay home with the girls so that I could go with just one baby and pretend I was just like everyone else.  It was soooo nice... and Fletcher slept through the whole movie.  Maybe next time I'll try bringing two!  Since the theatre is in the mall, I stopped at the Bay before heading home and found these little sleepers for the babies... if you bought 3, you got 30% off so I couldn't resist! 



Looks like Fletcher just smacked both the girls in this shot:

Then they made up...

Last week my friend Dara (who happens to be a talented, self-taught photographer) snapped some photos of the babies for me... we made a huge mess of Tara's living room and spent hours trying to catch them all either awake or sleeping.  It was very tough but Dara managed to get some great shots!  I don't want to share too many yet, cause I want the announcement cards to be a surprise!  Here's some nice individual pics of each one. Thank you soooo much Dara for all your hard work... and Tara for letting us mess up your house and helping with poses, etc, etc!!
