At birthday party #3 of the weekend, there was a faux "Hello Kitty" pinata. The boys clearly enjoyed whacking her with a stick.

We had two birthday parties scheduled for the day (both for little girls named Estella who were turning 3!) but the boys were ready to go to Granny & Grandpa’s after the first. So I obliged and went to the second party by myself. Maybe it sounds creepy, but I love going to kids’ birthday parties without my kids. Heh.

After the boys’ glowing review at today’s parent-teacher conferences, I took them to Pinkberry for "ice cream". They keep sidewalk chalk outside, so after we ate, I let them draw.

Here’s Oliver showing me what the face he drew is doing. So cute!

The light was so beautiful this afternoon, I’m so glad I had my camera with me. Look at my Ollie!

It’s hard to get all three boys to hold hands, and even harder to take a picture while they’re also holding yours.

I have been videoing the boys a bit more lately, if only to catch the funny stuff they’ve been saying. This morning was just cute – they were blowing bubbles before we left for school.

Seriously? A beautiful new playground, and they’re still playing in the dirt.

Sigh.

Miles and Daddy having a moment.

Today was exhausting. Holy cow. The boys were up, destroying their room before 6. We just left them to it, because there was no way I was getting up that early. And then it was an all-day whinefest. So we did what any smart family would do, and went to a restaurant. Ah well, at least it was loud.

The boys’ school had a KaBOOM! playground build today. I dressed the boys in their costumes for the occasion. Can’t wait until Monday, when they can actually play on it!

Took the boys for their flu shots today. It was pretty funny (if you’re mean like me) because after Linus went, the other two wouldn’t go NEAR the doctor. But we just bribed them with Thomas stickers and all was fine.

NOT looking forward to their 4 year well visit next month…they each get FOUR shots. Poor monkeys!

After nearly two years of a photo a day, Miles has had enough. “Put the camera down, Mommy!”
