Campground Fun

 It was Poppy Steve's birthday weekend and the last weekend of camping in 2010.

The Beauties had tons of fun running around taking in the sites and the fresh fall air.

Jocelyn collected a huge arm full of willows.  She was quite proud of them, and showed it by carrying them around for hours on Friday night.

 Playing in the grass and sporting some "plumber butt" Jocelyn and Farrah having a ball.

 As the days go by, Jocelyn proves on a daily basis, that she is the true "sassy" girl in the bunch.

 This is the new "game" the triplets like to play.

I call it "holding on to each others clothing while Mommy crosses her fingers that no one gets hurt."  I think it is named well, because it is not only an outdoor game, but one they play daily in the house.  They bounce off walls and furniture.

Dangerous.

 Another favorite game at our house right now..."chase me."

 Chloe and Farrah found a green caterpillar.  They were very proud of it.

I learned when they brought it to me, that it really was a "pretend caterpillar" a weed they named "Mr. Cat."

 Mommy's sweet little Farrah.  I think this has to be one of the most favorite photos I have taken of her.  Ir encompasses her personality beyond words.

 The view of Beauties on the lake.

So pretty.

 Silly time with Farrah.

 Dance moves with Farrah.

Quiet onlooking from Silvie.

As always the sweet reserved one of the group.

Happy Birthday Papa Steve

 Happy Birthday to YOU 

Happy Birthday to YOU

Happy Birthday dear Poppy,

Happy Birthday to YOU!

We hope that your birthday was as wonderful as you are!  Sorry the post is a few days late.  We had a great time out at the campsite (or as Silvie calls it, "the "hamper")  with you and Mom!

We love you very much much Poppy!

Bedazzle Me

My good friend "Hitzy Blonde" (yes she is a skater) came over for a visit a few days after my surgery.  With her, she brought the craft-r-noon arsenal.  Beads, and gems, the hot glue gun, and of course rainbow glitter spray...the works.  Her mission was "to make Toxic Sugar's crutches acceptable for daily use."  

Successful mission I would have to say.  The triplets and her son Andy had a great time helping her glue and place multi-colored rhinestones all over them.  "Crutches MUST be sparkling."  I could not agree more with you, Hitzy. 

The finished project shined and sparkled in just the smallest amount of light.  You should see them in the sun, amazing.  They are truly "Dazzling."

Thank you Hitzy!  The fact that I have the "coolest crutches ever" make it just a little easier to use them.  Thanks for thinking of me.  You are the Goddess of all things that sparkle.

Tokens = Happiness

What do cheetahs, dragons, bunnies and elephants have in common?  

Love from the Beauties.

  They love to ride the carousel on Saturdays after skating lessons.  They each ride their favorite animal every single Saturday.  Papa gives them each a token, and week after week, they each pick the same animal to ride on.  If another child has taken claim on their animal of choice, they wait patiently until the next ride begins.

Spoiled...maybe a little.

Saturday Skate Time

Chloe is enjoying her ice skating lessons so much.  She passed through her first 8 weeks of lessons with flying colors.  She must get her skating abilities from her Momma (wink wink)  She is now on her second set of 8 weeks.  She has the same teacher and there is only one other little girl in her class, so she gets lots of individual time.  Which is a spectacular bonus.  She has really good balance.  If we could just convince her that falling is all part of it, she would be more at ease I think.  She was very excited to get to go for some extra practice with her cousin Molli.  She wanted to work on some things she has been learning..

She always seems to know that Mommy is shooting photos, sometimes she smiles and other times she pretends to be shy.

 The triplets love to watch Chloe and Molli skate.  It has become one of their most favorite things to do on Saturdays.  "Go watch Sissy skate and eat bagels."  

Triplet time out to blow some kisses at Mommy.

Kisses for Molli through the window.

Sassy-ness
