Triplet Mom Problems

Usually when I take the boys places myself, I use the wagon or stroller to transport them from the car to wherever we're going.  Today we went to a play date, and I parked in their driveway.  I wasn't going to bother with the wagon or stroller since I was so close to the front door.  When leaving and trying to get the boys back out to the car, I carried two while I let the third walk.  Of course, he tried to run away, so I quickly placed the two into the van (not yet strapped in...door open) so I could run after the 3rd. When I caught #3, I went to put him back into the van only to have #2 crawl out and start to run away.  As I run after him, #1 crawls out.  You get the idea.  This continued for several minutes.  Me chasing after these crazies trying to corral them all into the van so I could close the door and start buckling them in.  Them, of course, laughing hysterically at my futile efforts.  It was not one of my better moments, but figured it was probably one of those things that would be hilarious to an outsider.

Multiples of Kansas City Play Group

I'm a member of the Multiples of Kansas City group.  It's a great group that provides support to mothers of multiples.  We recently started talking about getting a play group together for all the 2 and under babies.  We had our first one this past Tuesday.  Lauren hosted and ended up having 16 little ones running/crawling around her house!  At first the thought of that many babies and toddlers under one roof gave me a bit of anxiety, but the chaos was pretty controlled and it was actually a lot of fun.  We had 6 sets of twins (5 sets of girl twins and 1 boy/girl set), our triplet boys, and a tiny little baby boy.

It'll be fun to watch the boys become more social as we do more of these.  They're mostly used to just playing with each other (and Dakota).  It'll be a good chance for them to make some friends!

Now to see if I'm brave enough to host one.  Hopefully I'll sign up to host on a nice day and we can all play out back in our big fenced in yard.

Some pictures of the craziness:

Babies everywhere!
