I can't believe that I have taken so long to post. I wish I could post more often, because I forget all the fun, little things that the boys do. Lately, John and I find ourselves repeating all the cute words that they say, and then when it is time to write the words down--I can't remember what they are. Here are some favorite words at the moment...
"Weddy" means "ready." Andrew loves to say, "weddy, weddy, weddy" when he is about to throw the ball to you or jump onto your lap.
"buddy, buddy, buddy" is said when he needs his bed buddy for nap time.
They love the word "car," and they say it hundreds of times throughout the day.
They are getting very good at counting to 20.
They still love singing songs--especially "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," "Popcorn Popping," "Wheels on the bus, " "Row Row Row Your Boat, " and so many others.
Some of their favorite shows are Elmo, Barney, and Bubble Guppies. They love the movie Cars, and they have started enjoying Mickey Mouse Club. They aren't as interested in the tv as they used to be, and I am very happy for that. They have gotten very good at reading their books at night. They love their Cars (of course) book, 5 Litte Monkeys, and the big board books with the different pictures. They are great with their flashcards!
They especially love going outside and would stay out their all day if it weren't for the mosquitoes. They got new bikes the other day, and they LOVE riding their red bikes. They also LOVE to go to the pool. They splash around and have so much fun!
Leen was here last week and she bought them their favorite car, Lightning McQueen!!! We find ourselves hunting all over the house for the missing McQueen, since they all must have them if one does.
They still love to eat toaster sticks and cereal in the morning, and lately they have gotten really good at eating their cereal with milk in a spoon. Before, they would just eat it without milk from their snack cup. They also LOVE to peel bananas, and Andrew is pretty good at eating the banana. Otherwise, I end up cutting and freezing a lot of bananas that they have peeled.
Mr. Will LOVES apples. He wants to eat the whole core. I need to get one of those devices, like Aunt Jean and Uncle Alan, that cores your apples. He would eat the seeds and the stem, if he could.
Andrew likes grapes, but otherwise--we are working on trying to eat more fruits and veggies. They like the bad processed foods that are so yummy and tasty. :( In fact, we have gotten too accustom to going to Burger King after the gym. I know--that defeats the whole purpose. Is it bad that they say, "chicken and french fries" as well as they say anything?! I definitely need to work on this! Uggh!
They have been more adventurous with food lately. Last night, they were eating a cheese sandwich and some vegetable dumplings. That was a departure from their usual chicken nuggets, turkey meatballs, hot dogs, etc. We are trying our best to branch out, but I must admit--I am not too great in the kitchen! Poor little guys!
Favorite snacks are rice cakes, popcorn, goldfish, pretzels, dried strawberries, apples, and bananas. Andrew loves grapes and Will, apples.
It's really funny to watch them play their guitar. They say, "I wanna rock." like the Bubble Guppy characther. Andrew bends one of his knees in rocker stance and puts on a rocker face while strumming! Sam plays his guitar more upright, and Will likes to beat on his like a drum. He is probably wondering when we will get him his drum set, since that is what he likes best! ha! We actually did see an amazing deal (on a guitar/mandolin combo pack) that we put away for the distant future.
John bought me a wonderful Mother's Day gift--a really nice camera! It's been sitting in the box, ever since. I cannot wait to use it. I need more time to do all these wonderful things. It's hard to do much outside our normal routine, but I am really looking forward to breaking it out, so that I can add photos to these blog posts. I still do a pretty good job of keeping up with the pictures on www.clowneytriplets.shutterfly.com. Maybe once the boys are in preschool, I'll have time to catch up on these posts.
Sam, Will, and Andrew are into everything at this age, and they are keeping John and I very busy and on our toes! We love them so much!

Water fun!
Instead of writing an original post, I thought it might be easier to copy and paste the email that I just sent to John about the days activities. After we got home from the gym, we had a little bit of water fun outside. Pictures to come!
Awww! Well, speaking of smiles. I got the biggest smile watching them get squirted with the water hose while in the buff. Thanks to Sam they were all covered in dirt. He was shoveling dirt over all of them. Uggh! Since I new we'd be doing a bath time, I decided to let them have a little fun first. They were having a blast saying "ready" and then letting me squirt them and then running away. It was hilarious to see their little cheeks all facing me, as they were running from the water. Of course, they all wanted to take turn turns ("Anjoo's tun") squirting the hose. Needless to say, it was not that easy convincing them to relinquish the hose to go to bath time. Good times! Anyway, so they should be pretty clean for the rest of the night, unless they get into anything between now and this evening. I'll try to keep dinner on the clean side.

Ahhhhhhhh--nice work out for Mama!
