Weekend Re-Cap!

We started out the weekend at Tim's softball games on Friday night. We had a little picnic  before the games started and the weather was gorgeous! The girls all did good and had fun seeing all the lovely ladies and getting lots and lots of attention! Tim hit a home run too!! I even managed to feed each of them their oatmeal and some carrots during the games! Natalee has her new favorite toy "Ellie", but I am going to get the girl version soon, and so hopefully she likes that one just as much as her current Ellie. She does not let go of Ellie, she sucks on it, holds it, cuddles it, talks to it, it's so darn cute.

On Saturday, Nana came over and Tim steam cleaned the downstairs of the house, which needed it so badly and not to mention we wanted to get it done since the girls are starting to scoot a little now, especially Claire. She is already doing a little "army scoot" in her crib and it's so darn cute. We had some yummy hot dogs on the grill, sour kraut, baked beans, chips and ranch dip for lunch, followed by some delicious German chocolate cake and pina coladas! Yummy! The girls of course had so much fun playing with Nana all day, and of course it's my favorite day of the week too! We LOVE our days with our Nana!!!!!!!

We also rearranged some furniture and made a new little play area for the girls! It will soon have a big gate around it when the girls start to become crawlers and walkers. I can't even imagine what it will be like having three little ones going in three different directions at all times! My parents brought over two extra high-chairs that they had in the day care center that weren't being used, so the girls had their first times in the high chairs on Saturday night to eat their oatmeal and veggies. I want to get these space-saving high chairs soon, but I haven't purchased them yet.

Tim put together our third and final crib on Saturday too! It's a little different than Madelynn and Claire's cribs because I couldn't find them at Wal-Mart anymore so Natalee has the Sarah crib which is very similar, the only difference being the side panels are open slats instead of solid sides. I chose the solid sides for the cribs so that the girls cannot see each other when laying down, hopefully to prolong entertaining one another. I love that their are finally three cribs in the nursery!! It's so darn cute, I can barely contain myself. I still need to get Natalee's bumpers too, but since the other girls have bumpers, they can't see one another, so it's ok for now.

Sunday was just a relaxing day and I'm unfortunately now on day 3 of a bad case of laryngitis. No fun. Hoping my voice comes back soon and my sore throat goes away. Tim is finally feeling better along with the girls, all of their colds are gone, amen! That was a rough few days with all of them sick! Thursday was a horrible day where even Momma felt like crying at points!!!!

We also had a sweet woman and her husband come over for a few hours who are pregnant with twin girls and buy a lot of our newborn clothes and a few other items. We gave them lots and lots of advice, tips and suggestions and it was so fun to meet a new couple just beginning on the journey of having multiples! I really enjoyed it and it was so nice to pass along all that I have learned in just the past 6 months of parenting multiples. I also got to go through all of the clothes that I wanted to save for our next little girl (if we have a girl) and get rid of so much stuff to make room for more stuff! It's a never ending battle...the clothes these girls have take over!!!!! Between what's too small, what currently fits and what's to come...it's not for someone who doesn't know how to stay organized that's for sure. I have bins in my attic with size 4 in clothes and other stuff for the girls, because good deals, clearance items...things like that, you just can't pass up when you have to buy for three! For example just bought three 2T PJ sets for St. Patty's Day that say "Daddy's Lucky Charm" for only $3.99 a few weeks ago! So I was super happy to have our clothes go to a set of multiples and clean out much of our bins of stuff that were too small, even though I kept SO much because I just cannot even fathom with parting with it!

All in all it was a fun weekend and hopefully it's a nice calm week ahead. Hope your weekend was fun!!!!
