Bye Bye Stroller...I will miss you!

Bye bye to our wonderful and fabulous triple decker stroller!  :(  It feels like I have said goodbye to a dear friend.  I have used the triple decker stroller almost everyday, since the boys came home.  (sigh)  I have been holding on to it for several months now, just in case we needed it.  However, the boys have truly outgrown it.  They prefer to be in the choo-choo wagon and pretty much hate the stroller.  I guess they have gotten to be big boys.  So, we were happy to pass it along to Victoria, another triplet mom.  She has a 8 month old triplets in addition to her 2 yr. old and 6 yr. old.  Wow--I am impressed!  So, as sad as I was to see the stroller go (maybe even a couple of tears)--I was happy to see someone else put it to good use.  Ahh--milestones are too hard!

Random note of the day--Will LOVES to sleep in his Cars shoes.  He refuses to take them off.
Oh, and I almost forgot to say that they boys went to their first movie yesterday--Kung Fu Panda.  They did pretty well.  I was impressed that they stayed as long as they did.  I look forward to taking them to the next free summer movie--The Smurfs.

We may go to the zoo this weekend.  It keeps getting postponed, so I don't want to jinx it.

One of these days...

One of these days I will add pictures to all of the posts.  May I get a personal assistant please?  My good friend, Melissa, was saying how easy it is to take pictures these days and how hard it is to find the time to organize all of them!  I second that!  In minutes we can take 200 pictures on our camera, and all I can think is how in the world will I be able to pick the best ones.  I am terrible at doing that, because I always think they are all good--even the fuzzy ones!  So, then I end up with an overload of pictures.  haha!  I even like the pictures that the boys take that are of the ceiling, because I think to myself, "Awww, the boys took that picture."  It's pretty pathetic.  I have gotten better at deleting those, but it's still hard.

I took a little time to upload some pictures today, and I made a few collages of the boys at the pool.  The pictures may be too small in collage form, but again--I had a hard time narrowing down the best pictures.

Random thoughts...

We've had quite a week.  We've all had the stomach bug, except John.  However, John was unfortunate to have a stiff neck/back.  We're all happy to be on the mend, now.  We had a nice Father's Day weekend.  John requested hoagies for dinner, and that was a relief for me.  I am not so good in the kitchen, but I can handle a sandwich. :)  We also had some yummy bagels from Panera for breakfast.  As always, I miss him sweet Dad on that day.

John and I always get so many laughs from the boys, but it's hard to remember to jot them down.  Here are some random thoughts off the top of my head...

• They love to say "tuckin-in" which means that they want to be tucked in to bed.  One day Sam said it repeatedly for about 5 minutes straight.  John said he was going to go crazy, but it is so cute!
• "openit" means "elephant."  That is another favorite word.
• They are very good at saying "thank you," "you're welcome," and "bless you."
• Recently, they learned how to jump off the side of the pool into the pool, and they love it!  Will was the first to try, and he is still the bravest with jumping off the side of the pool.  The others are getting pretty good, too.  Sam is the most hesitant, but I can hardly blame him, since he has already had a broken arm from being fearless.  
• Will is the best tooth brusher.  The others--ugghh--not so much!  It is literally like pulling teeth to get them to let us brush their teeth, but Will is super cooperative!
• They still enjoy all of their favorite shows and are still obsessed with Cars (especially Will), but they have added Mickey Mouse Club to their list of favorites.  
• They love saying "Boom Boom" which is the nickname of their Aunt June.  "Ti Ti Boom Boom" is the official name for Aunt June.

These are the only random thoughts that I can think of for now, but I imagine John could think of several more.

Reminding myself to post about getting locked into the boys room...
