No School Friday
I had Parent/Teacher conferences this week and was at school until 8:30 on Tuesday and Thursday and am drained. So, not having school today, paying for daycare like I am, and being the somewhat "sane" person I am, I packed my three babes up and took em to day care!
Here are the darlings decked in their Halloween gear and ready to celebrate at school. (I am going to regret this later when they come home on a sugar high!)
After I dropped them off, I wrote a list of things to do around the house, decided against it so...I went shopping. No strollers, no diaper bags, no distractions, I had a million things to get and I kept thinking to myself, this is going to be great! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF. :( No noise in the car, no one to talk to, no one yelling, and no one to sing with me. So, this 30 something mama sang to herself. I'm sure I looked awesome rockin' out in the mini-van, but oh well! I accomplished what I needed to, did some damage with the plastic, and came home to pick up my wired children(who really weren't as bad as I expected). Not to shabby for being out of practice!

The Punkin' Patch 2010
Getting in the spirit of the season, we visited the pumpkin patch. We were only there about 20 minutes but they each picked out the perfect pumpkin for themselves and wore their mommy and daddy out trying to get a good picture! Perfect weather and the perfect end to a week!
Can you make three two year olds sit still and smile at the same time?
Finally... a winner!

Fall
The kids are so fun right now. I might regret saying it, but two year olds really are not terrible! The sense of imagination they have is amazing and I love watching them interact. We haven't created imaginary friends yet, but that is understandable given that they have built-in friends brother and sister, right?!?
They are always excited to get to go somewhere and are becoming more and more independent. They are dressing themselves in the morning and whenever we leave the house. I always get “look at me mom” or “I did it by MYSELF” comments when they are proud of what they’ve accomplished.
I am starting to understand now why people say enjoy it - it goes so fast. I thought we just started the school year a few days ago and somehow I've lost track of time and the end of October is nearing. The kids are enjoying the warm fall weather we've been having and we are trying to take advantage of it any chance we get. We are not looking forward to shorter days and cold weather.
If only it would stay like this...
We spent some time on the playground at "mommy's scoo" (Zach's translation of school)!

Sleeping Situations
Chad and I haven't gotten the amount of sleep this past week as we normally do. The reason being: three two year olds that have had runny noses and annoying coughs.
The runny noses started Saturday and the coughs on Monday. We were divvying out benadryl faster that we could say boo. (We should have taken some ourselves to help knock us out!) By Tuesday, the coughing was full blown and I was worrying because our medicinal supplies were dwindling. I went upstairs to check on the kids around 10, right before I was heading to bed. We ended up calling the doctor's exchange after I checked on them because Zach had started coughing up blood. I took my calm self to the phone and relayed the message to the person that answered. She took down the information and then said someone would call within the next hour and if not, call back. (Seriously?) So...I was heading to bed at 10 and now was going to have to wait for a phone call to see what our plan of attack was. At 10:45, the nurse called and took down even more information. I told her everything including the fact that we have triplets and their symptoms have all been the same. She told me she wanted us to start breathing treatments on all three of them. Having Zach complete 3 treatments in an hour. Now, I am a math teacher and I know that each treatment is about 20 minutes and in my head this was not faring out in my early to bed notion. Chad started Zach, finished him, I ran upstairs with the machine and started Brooke's treatment. She woke up and so did Luke. I put a smile on my face and we talked while I finished the treatment. I took the machine back downstairs, Chad did a treatment on Zach. Twenty minutes later, I had the machine in hand and was back upstairs to start Luke's treatment. We talked a little more until the treatment was finished, tucked them both in and ran the machine back down to Chad, sat on the couch and asked politely what his plan was for tomorrow. He thought Zach should stay home with him. Knowing that he was staying home and could "sleep in" I headed off to bed while he finished the last treatment and put Zach to bed. At 12:30 AM, the nice nurse from the doctors exchange called to see how they were doing. It was a good thing Chad answered because I was not feeling as nice as I was earlier when we talked! Chad got up again around 4 and did one breathing treatment on each of them. So...the rest of the week continued with more breathing treatments and trying to get as much sleep as possible. We are glad that nothing serious was wrong with Zach except a little irritation from the excessive coughing and they are all getting back to "normal."
I think due to lack of sleep, Chad has been complaining about the small amount of space he has in our bed. I take up half, Shadow takes up half of Chad's half leaving Chad with one-fourth of the bed to sleep on. We all feel really sorry for him, but I'd like him to sleep one night in Brooke's bed and then he can tell me how crowded he is in ours!
