Touch A Truck

Yesterday we had such a great time at Touch A Truck.  There were so many different things for the kids to see, climb on, touch, and play.  I had originally thought that Reese and Will would get out of the stroller and participate, but they did such a good job sitting that I kept them in.  I think next year they will be big enough to let roam around.  Olivia's favorite was the monster truck. Probably because they talk about a monster truck in her favorite song "The Bullet Train" on the Disney channel!

Here's the full view of the monster truck.

Hanging out with a policeman - cool motorcycle!

Will and Reese loved their fireman hats.

The cement mixer had a LOUD horn!

Watch out, here I come!

Daddy, I need one of these!

I'm ready for the snow.

Bath time fun

The kids had such a good time playing in the bath together.  It's a lot harder with all three, but they do have fun!  I was able to get a decent picture of Will, and then a couple of them with their animal towels.

Cheese!

Reese, Will, and Olivia all wrapped up

This is one of my favorite pictures!

Which Princess Are You?

For those of you who are surrounded by Princesses, this is pretty cute. You take a short quiz and it will tell you which princess you are most like.  It looks like I am Mulan.  Happy Friday my fellow princesses.

Strong and spirited. You're no one's girly girl; actually you are very determined person with a strong sense of self. Never let go of that! The only thing that equals your sense of self is your family, but the traditions of society can always be bent to protect something or someone you love.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

This is why I am getting gray hair!

Today started out with a great morning visit to my favorite store (Target), playing outside on the play set, and then having lunch. It was then time to take Olivia to golf, so I started packing the diaper bag when I heard Reese screaming in the dinning room.  When I went in to see what was going on, I saw blood running down her mouth.  Terrified, I washed out her mouth and saw a cut on the inside from her teeth and a cut on the outside right below her lip.  I immediately thought that her teeth went straight through (uggggh - I know it's like hearing fingernails down a blackboard!) and quickly packed all 3 kids in the car for a ride to the ER.  Thankfully, it was only a 5 minute drive. All of the kids did surprisingly well considering we were there for 2 1/2 hours during the heart of nap time.  The nurses were great and put in a movie for them to watch and gave them toys to play with.  The good news was that the cut didn't go through her lip - she had two separate cuts.  Plus, she didn't need stitches! They put on a glue adhesive instead which for her is better because she would have just picked at the stitches.  In the short 5 minute car ride home, both Reese and Will fell asleep and I swear I saw about 100 gray hairs begin to pop out on my head.  No Joke!!!

She had to have numbing cream on for 25 minutes just in case she needed stitches.

Here is the cut with the glue covering it.

Olivia loved playing doctor with the supplies the nurse gave her!

Will was a trooper sitting in the stroller for the entire 2 1/2 hours.

What a day

Boy, don't we all feel like this sometimes!

We love sidewalk chalk!

Our new favorite outdoor activity is sidewalk chalk.  The best part of chalk isn't drawing on the sidewalk, but drawing all over our bodies!!  Check out these pictures. 

Wheeeeeeee!

We finally bit the bullet and took down the gate on the swing set.  Reese and Will can now climb up the ladder and go down the slides by themselves.  Reese loved it and Will was a little hesitant.  Here is Reese having the best time on the slide!
