(As I wrangled the boys to the pharmacy area to pick up prescriptions.)

Lady: Ooh, triple trouble!
Me: Nah, they’re good. Triple the expense, though. (As they wave around $4 boxes of bandaids.)
Lady: Yeah, I had two close in age, so I know what it’s like.

Insert eyeroll.

The End!

Here’s a cute video of the boys from Sunday. You can’t see much, it was dark, but this is just so you can see how much they talk. (All the freaking time.)

***************************************************************

Took the boys to the doctor today. They read some magazines. (Highlights included. Love that it’s still around!)

Linus admired himself in the funny mirror there, too.

After we left the doctor, we had to pick up a prescription from Walgreen’s (see how this post is all coming full circle?) and the boys saw the “M” that’s on the M&M shirts they have. I’m a sucker and bought them some M&Ms too. (Better that than three boxes of the four dollar bandaids.)

So I think I just got to mid-day on Saturday. Yeesh!

After the zoo, Alex ensured her place in heaven by coming with us to Target so I could pick up a prescription for the boys that I had to get that day. We put two boys in my cart and one in hers, and it was a breeze, I tell ya. Except for the part where I let them hold $10 DVDs without considering that they were going to freak the heck out when I took them away from them. (Sometimes I lack foresight. Sometimes.) So I let them pick out Matchbox cars, which only cost 87 cents. But no, they wanted the five dollar Lightning McQueen cars. Damn those Target merchandisers! I managed to just get the cheapo cars, though, and they were marginally content with that. Whew.

We brought Alex home, and I managed to keep the boys awake until we got home, at which point we put them down for a nap. But did they sleep? No, no they did not. Well, at some point Oliver fell asleep, but after two hours in their room, Miles and Linus were still awake and chatting. Argh.

After naptime, I brought them to the park to play with their friend Millie. This was fun, but I realized that the world is make for twins. Sigh. I’ve yet to see a park with three swings, so we had a few arguments over who was going to swing next. Yeesh. But overall, it was fine, and the boys went to bed without much of a peep.

Our plans for Sunday included going swimming with my friend Terry and her girls. That was fun. We went to a pool with a pretty big kiddie area, and after trying to coax them in for 45 minutes, the boys finally got in the water. And then had a grand old time, but we had to leave twenty minutes later. (Insert eye roll.)

Here’s Miles with “the carrot” (an orange noodle)

And Oliver with “the rainbow” (yellow noodle)

After lunch, we took the kids to McDonald’s and let them loose on the play area, and got them good and worn out for naptime. This time, they really did sleep. Nice!

My friend Tee came over after naptime to play with the boys, and fun was had by all. In fact, when the boys woke up this morning, the first thing Linus said to me was “where’s Aunt Tee?” Awwww!

(It’s really hard to be Miles, btw.)

For the first time, I’m entering a photo over at the weekly I Heart Faces challenge. This week’s challenge is “Got to Wear Shades” and here’s my entry. That would be Linus, wearing my sunglasses. They look pretty good on him, though, don’t you think?

It was an awesome, fun weekend, but I am so happy it’s Monday because it was also exhausting.

Friday night, the fun started with a trip to the grocery store. Okay, maybe the fun started on Saturday…

Saturday, the day started bright ‘n’ early for my friend Regan‘s son’s birthday party. My friend Alex was riding with us to the party, so on the way to her house, I had to stop at a Walgreens to get a card (which I of course forgot to leave at the party. Duh.) The boys were pretty good, but when we got to the checkout, the cashier was all, “COME SEEEEE! IT’S IDENTICAL TRIPLETS!!!” and of course every woman over 50 came to see the freak show boys and ooh and aah over them. If I sound like I’m complaining, I’m really not. You know I love the attention. Heh.

On to the zoo for the party. I’d been hyping up the zoo for days, and the boys were v excited to see the animals. I was v excited to eat cake. The party was very nice, the cake was yummy, and we got tickets to ride the carousel, which was a HUGE hit. I don’t have any pictures on the carousel, because that puppy was spinning fast, and it was all I could do to keep the boys from flying off and from vomiting myself. But I do have some party pics…

Miles shoving cake in his face as fast as he can (he is his mother’s son)

Mmm, cake!

The birthday boy. And yes, his eyes really are that blue. (And the lipstick on the cheek kills me.)

After the party, the boys played on the playground at the zoo with the other kids, and it was the first time I could sit on the bench and just let them play. That was awesome. That’s one part of this age I’m really liking.

Oh wait! I forgot, we did have something Friday. It was the boys’ “award ceremony” at daycare. It’s really a graduation for the kids going on the kindergarden, but we can’t leave out the little ones, right? Well, the boys were not thrilled that they had to sit with the kids and Mommy had to sit by the Mommies.

Notice no other kids are crying….

(I can’t remember all the awards they got, but there was a “Knows His ABCs” somewhere in there.)

There’s more to the weekend, but I need a break. Will post more later.
