Anyone know a good plumber?

We have been lucky with the boys. They did not take diapers off and smear them on the wall, we don't have little strippers (most of the time), there is some toy breaking, but not bad and they have never ever put things in the toilet until last night...

I thought there was a "floater" that was only half flushed because they don't like to flush. After trying to get it to go down and doing my business, I flushed a second time. The water was almost out of the bowl! Yelling for Eric to get the plunger since all things with the "throne" are his job I start to panic that it's going to really run over. Just in time, it slowly starts to drain and Eric decides it's ok and flushes again. I heard a yell, "I need a towel, I need a towel!" Running in, the water was once again about to overflow! The plunger made a rattling sound and after several fishing attempts, a small boulder is pulled out!

When asked this morning, Evan tells us that he did it because he was done playing and it was stinky. The new rule in our house is pee, poop, and five sheets of toilet paper only and I hope that we do not have any more fishing expeditions that may require a plumber.

Disney Playhouse Live

Way too long since my last post, but with my mom sick, it's just been put to the bottom of my list.

Anyway, we decided to take the boys to see Playhouse Disney Live last night and have a fun family night.  The show had Mickey's Clubhouse, My Friends Tigger and Pooh, Little Einsteins, and Handy Manny.  They LOVED it!   They had seen Dora at Kings Island and didn't move through the whole show.  This time they danced, yelled back when they were asked questions, and screamed in excitement when some characters came on stage.  Evan asked to see another movie right after it.  It is amazing that our little peanuts are getting old enough to do these things.  On the way home, (after a small meltdown!) they talked to each other about the whole show.  That made it all worth it!

Trey

swim lessons

The boys have thier first swim lesson today. They are so excited and have been saying all week that on Wednesday they are going swimming outside. I've tried to tell them that it's an inside pool, but they aren't buying it.
It's hard to believe how quickly they are growing up. They had thier first Christmas program this year and sang two song in front of a huge audience, they are asking for their privacy now and everything is "I do it!" Next thing I'll know, they'll be asking for the keys to the car...

1/3/09

So two days late and a picture not even from today, but still a picture I think is great. It's from this Christmas and Uncle Punky was a very good sport.




But he usually is. Today at nap time, Evan sat up and said, "Hey, Uncle Punky doesn't have hair!" Eric felt the need to expand on it when I told him the story to be, "Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Uncle Punky has no hair." And taught it to the boys to say over the phone. Everyone else thought it was pretty funny...

New Year!

The new year is upon us and I had all intention of starting Project 365 that a fellow triplet mom told me about.  It is 11 pm and I do not have any pictures that I can add for today.  As Scarlet says, "Tomorrow is another day!"

I don't like to make resolutions, but do love to make goals.  For 2009 my goals are:

1. Yell less and praise more

2.  Post a picture a day

3. get to a single digit pants size

4. Cheer louder than anyone when Eric graduates in May

5. Send Birthday cards 

I've got over 250 pictures to go through from Christmas between 4 different cameras (only 1 is mine) and several stories from out in Las Vegas that I will try to post in the next few days.

Thank you Noodle and Co.

Earlier this week, Kendra and I went to get our hair done and stopped at Noodle and Co. for lunch after. They had these really cute chopstick holders and I thought that the boys would love them, so I snatched three - hey, I did buy lunch there, so I could have used them myself.
Tonight for dinner, we had apples and fish sticks and I broke out the chopsticks for the boys to use. They each ended up tearing their apples into bite size pieces and then using the chopsticks to eat. (I don't know how to rotate these, sorry!)
