Beautiful Beauties at the Lake

We spent a sun filled afternoon at Lake MacBride.  The only thing missing...Chloe.

She was in school...we cannot wait for summer vacation!

Firsts...

 Jocelyn came out of the bathroom at my parents tonight with a secret.

A secret only Farrah knew.

Farrah wasn't telling anyone...except Silvie.

So comical how they were keeping the secret between the tree of them.

The secret didn't last long...

Jocelyn's tooth was loose.  I mean REALLY REALLY loose.

It's strange because she hadn't noticed it was loose until just then.  I even helped her brush her teeth this morning and didn't notice.

She decided she was going to let Big Sis the Birthday Girl help her with the very delicate removal of the first loose tooth.

Chloe sat on the counter with her, and a kleenex, trying to carefully remove the tooth. 

 After several kleenex, Daddy gave it a shot, but he couldn't get it either.

It was wiggling away and needed to come out, so she didn't swallow it.

Grandma, gave it a shot.  After two small tugs, Grandma had it.

Jocelyn was so excited.  So nervous.  And then back to excited again.  The tooth Fairy was coming to see her!

Silvie was quite upset.  Not because Jocelyn's mouth was bleeding, or because her sister had a hole where her tooth had been...but because SHE WANTED TO LOOSE A TOOTH TOO!

What a BIG GIRL!

My triplets are growing up...

Birthday Fun

Chloe had a birthday weekend...instead of only one day.

Which I believe, she kind of liked...a lot.

It started on Friday.  I took lunch and flowers to her at school and ate with her in the cafeteria.  It was so much fun for both of us to have lunch at school together.  

It continued Saturday after ice-skating lessons.  We had some Chloe and Mommy only time while everyone napped.  It was super nice to be just the two of us.  We decided to play some board games.  (We tried Battleship.)

Saturday night Matt and I took the Beauties to the famous Chuck E. Cheese.  WOW.  It was an experience.  The Beauties had a great time.  Which made it worth the experience. 

 Chloe had her choice of dinner today...she chose her favorite pizza place downtown.  It's called Mesa.  They have the incredible mac-n-cheese pizza, which of course was Chloe's pick.  Grandma Val and Grandpa Dave, Ande and Haley came down to celebrate with us.  After dinner we headed to the yogurt shop.  We even sang happy birthday over yogurt.

Next stop, Grandma Pam and Poppy's house.  Grandma made Chloe a cake, her favorite flavor, vanilla.  Happy Birthday of course was sung and she finally got to blow out her birthday candles.  We celebrated the evening away.

Happy Birthday Chloe!

Ready for Santa

 Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, the beauties were stirring, but thank goodness...no mouse.

 Sweet so longs to their elf-friend Crystal.  Knowing she will be heading back to the Northpole with Santa, until we are graced with her presence this time next year.  Proud of their cookies and pictures and trinkets...left under the tree for the guy with the beard.

 They have been mostly nice.  Trying hard not to be naughty...

 The stockings hung on the mantle with care.

Dear Santa,

Please take care of Crystal, 

she has been a good friend.

We cannot wait for her return next year

until then...

The End

Little Mommies

The Beauties have become pros at being little Mommies, by watching.
Silvie changed Farrah's diaper today.
I walked out of the kitchen (couldn't get the camera fast enough) and found Farrah laying on the floor, Silvie sitting in Mommy stance putting a fresh diaper under Farrah's bottom and fastening the tapes.
It was one of the sweetest things I have ever seen.

Time for a larger table

We sat at the table all together last night, well, kind of. The little beauties did. Chloe, Jocelyn, Farrah and Silvie had dinnertime together just like big girls! It was so cute. They all enjoyed sitting around the table together. They did some chatting and laughing. First time in awhile the triplets were not stealing food, biting or hair pulling. It was very nice. They dined on their favorites, mac-n-cheese, cheese dogs, carrots, mandarin oranges, cottage cheese and milk. Hmm, kind of an orange theme I guess.
