At least she's pretty....

Eva bowls on Friday afternoons in the Bumper League and my cousin's two kids, Abby (8) and Cassy (5) join us along with Aunt Linda. So they put on their shoes and start to bowl. So while Abby is bowling, Eva and Cassy are goofing around and then Eva squeals and says "Oh my gosh! We have the same shoes!!"
Ok, at least she's cute!

Ooops!

I went to pick up Eva from preschool and her teacher wants to talk to me. Uh oh, you think, NOW what? The teacher says Eva's been smelling kid's butt to see who has poopy pants. She told her this wasn't something we do to. I started laughing and told her "Sorry" and then had to explain that her dad doesn't always know when the babies need a diaper change, so he'll sniff their butts to make sure! So I had a talk with Eva on the way home that we only sniff OUR babies butts and noone else's! lol, oh, what next?

Eddies first time driving a car

Here's my little man, having a ball driving his car while we were shopping at Lowes. Isn't he cute?

Trinity starts

Eva started her Irish Step Dancing Class today.
(To see their website, go to http://www.trinity-dancers.com/)
Just like ballet class, parents don't get to watch the class. They have 2 times a year that we can watch and I can't wait! They are also teaching them how to count in Gaelic as well as the folklore of Ireland. I thought this would be good since our last name is Irish, but Gerald really never knew his dad and therefore, none of the irish traditions.

Movie Night at Church

Today was movie day at our church. They held it outside on the festival grounds. They had all the chairs set up under the pavillion. The only problem was that it became unseasonably cold, it got down to the mid 50's!! We were very cold, but it was a good movie. They showed "Night at the Museum" and if you haven't seen it, RENT IT NOW!! I'm glad I saw it because I am not a fan of Ben Stiller, who stars in this movie, but it was a good movie and I liked Ben in this movie. I have a picture that I took, but it didn't come out very well. These are the times that I really miss my SLR camera.

Some pictures of our new kitty

Eva's happy that we have a new kitty
This is the same toy she had at the shelter, so I ran out to Walmart this morning and bought one for her

The newest member of the family...

Our house just seemd so empty without a kitty greeting us at the door or sleeping on our lap. Even though we still have one kitty, she's pretty shy and likes to keep to herself. So one day, I was looking at www.petfinder.com and I saw this kitty and just HAD to have her. So I sent in our application and the store called us back and said to come in that night to see her as they wouldn't hold her. So I picked up Gerald from work and we went down there to see her. Well, it was rush hour, so instead of an hour, it took us 2 hours to get there!! And she was even cuter in person and after reassuring the sales lady that I wouldn't let the babies maul the kitten, we got to bring her home. They called her Marble, but that just didn't seem to fit her. so we decided to name her Sophie, but Eva said she's a princess, so she is Princess Sophie.

Carpenter in training

Lowes had a workshop for kids where you made a squirrel feeder. Here she is, putting it together.
TADA!! Here it is, all finished. Grandpa would be proud of her.

Eva starts Bumper bowling league

Eva started her bowling league today. On the way there, Elmo was standing on the corner, so I had to turn around, park, and let Eva give Elmo a hug. Aaaah, to be 4 again!!
At bowling and they have a coach there to help the newbies.

I miss my little girl...

I took the triplets to Storytime for Toddlers today and it was the same librarian that was there when I took Eva to storytime and I started to think about Eva when she was 18 mos and all the things we used to do and I started to cry. I was trying to be discreet (as much as I can be with a triplet stroller and 2 babies on my lap) when this lady that I didn't even know came up to me and said, "You look like you could use a hug" and hugged me! I lost it and told her "Thanks, I was just thinking about my oldest, whose in school all day now". My, how time flies. Wasn't it just yesterday that she was only toddling?

Joey's first haircut

Eddie may not have a lot of hair, but Joey REALLY needed to get his haircut. So I took him to the local barber and he was such a good boy, he didn't cry at all. Eddie, on the other hand, cried when the barber's puppy licked him in the face! lol

Picnic in the Park

It was a nice day today, so we took the kids to the park. I packed a nice lunch, brought some wine for dad & I, and off we went. Well, a lot of people had the same idea we did (of course, it was Labor Day Weekend!) but Eva was excited because of all the kids there. Eddie crawled into the choo choo all by himself and ate his cupcake in there. As you can see, he has frosting on his feet!!

Ella likes wine, watch out! Must be the French in her (she liked the cheese too!)
Only two baby swings, but three babies - what do you do? Put two babies in one!!
Joey LOVES swinging. He's burnt out the motor on one Fisher Price swing and he's getting too big for it. Do they make one for bigger kids?

The best we could do to get a picture with ALL of them in the photo. Forget them all smiling at the same time. Forget them all looking straight ahead at the same time. This is what you get!!
