ok so i'm not so good at updating my blog on a daily basis!! Facebook is way easier because I get on and off in less then 3 mins.!! So since last time I blogged we have been over the top busy!! Autumn and Sam took at trip to St.Louis to visit my dad and stepmom! They had a blast. Autumn was ready to come back and Sam would have moved in with them! They went and saw 2 movies, went to the Magic House, ate at some pizza king place, played on a slip n slide, did some fireworks all in 4 days!! That's what grandparents are for: spoil them and then send them home. They were there for the 4th of July so Rick and I played it pretty easy that weekend!! If you consider raising triplets easy?!?! We went down to the river front park, did some shopping, and hung out with Ricks Family some.

So this week I have been working REALLY hard on trying to get things organized!! I am really thinking I should invest in stock with plastic because I think I have more totes and laundry baskets then anyone I know!! Some days I feel like I clean clean clean and nothing looks Clean?? oh well.... So I took all 5 kids out by myself on Monday to run errands!! It went really good :). The hardest part was getting everyone in and out of the van, that in itself is so time consuming. We had to go to Sam's school to pay preschool fees and the school has 2 flights of stairs which was impossible with a double stroller, a baby on the hip, with Autumn and Sam in tow!! Thanks goodness a lady sent some one down to collect our check lol!! Sam keep saying this isn't my school this is my church!! He doesn't like the fact that it is both!! I'm still trying to figure out how on earth I am going to handle getting Sam and Autumn to school every morning, pick Sam up at 12 and Autumn by 3:45 with the triplets??? I think my mother-in-law is going to drop Sam off in the mornings, Autumn is going to ride the bus in the mornings, I'll pick Sam up until I can find another mom who is willing to bring him home and Hopefully our friend Jenny will bring Autumn home from School this year again!!!!!! Like you guys care it's just on my mind lol!!!
Tuesday my mom and I took Autumn shopping and man was that so fun!! She is growing up so fast and I have to say it is strange to see yourself in someone so much!! She had a Kohl's basket full of clothes for herself and stuff she wanted me to try on!! She knows her size however she keep getting crazy sizes for me!! Some where 3x's while others where size 5's!! I miss her being a little girl however I love the stage she is in now!! I know it won't last long so I am soaking me up some Audi time now :)
For those who haven't heard this story this is what Sam did last week: We were at the park and there was a Mexican family that had twins there!! they where try to ask about he triplets however they didn't speak English and could only understand a little!! The father was talking to one of his boys and Sam looked at him and said "you don't say that, those aren't words" He said this to the man like 5 times!! He totally understood Sam because he walked away!! Sam's 4 so he doesn't understand the difference in languages yet but Rick and I both felt like maybe that was something we should have already have taught him lol!! Whats crazy is right after they left a couple who appeared to be speaking Croatian came up and look at our triplets and said "only in America" Somestimes it frustrates me that people aren't always so nice about having multiples!! Rick says they stare at us with amazesment lol!! And I do think my family is pretty amazing!!

It is not how much you do, but how much love you put in the doing.

hope everyone has an amazing week!!
