Wordless Wednesday - October Fun!

So far this month, we've had some attitude....
And we've had some mechanical fun...

And we've decided we don't like our picture taken; but will smile once...

When our sister gets to wear Baby Legs, so do we!!

(even if that means sometimes they are {very} pink)

We like to be matchy-matchy...

We love the fall and playing together!

What is Going on in Here???

We are in a very interesting stage with the triplets. They co-slept (all three) until they were almost seven months old. Then, we decided they were getting "too big" to be sleeping together and they each needed more room, so we separated them. This is the moment that sealed the deal for them...and it still took me another month to actually do it. Now, they have decided, at two, that they want to be together again. And so, after I lay them down separately in their own (or each other's) cribs, there is a lot of commotion and when they get up at least two, if not all three, are in the same crib. Last night, Ethan and Nathanial were so crammed in there, I moved one to the other end of the crib. I did not have the heart to remove one and put him in a different crib, though. They also love playing "musical beds." No longer is the crib they have slept in for the last two years good enough - they want to sleep in each others. And they trade all the time. It has gotten to the point that I actually ask two year olds to tell me what bed they want to be in. Obviously, though, it does not matter. We did move all side rails to the lowest level just to be sure they are not climbing too far and are in the process of buying big boy beds, but that is probably a few months away.

They tend to get into a lot of trouble when they are in their rooms these days, also. I, frankly, need the break, so they are not about to get out of their naptime yet. I just deal with the mess. To prove a point, the other day, I took before and after (nap) pictures.

Here is the view you get when you walk into the room...Nathanial's crib is to the left and Ethan's is to the right with the dresser in front of them (it's roughly four feet from Nathanial's crib). This would be Noah's crib - across from Ethan's. Here is another clean view of the room...

This is what I walked into two and a half hours later (two of which were spent quietly - either sleeping or resting)...

Where did the crib go?? (Oh, and the holes in the wall??? That's Nathanial's daily attempt to escape Alcatraz.)

I do not seem to be able to recall a crib being in the middle of the room when I laid them down...Oh...the entire sock drawer must be emptied?? Hello, Mother. Yes, we were being perfectly well behaved boys. What's that?? Ethan is in my crib with me?? And we seemed to move it?? And Noah crossed the room to Ethan's crib??? We have no idea how that could have possibly happened!!
Ummm...guys, quick, don't look at her. I think she might be on to us....
Any other MOM's have any ideas on how to keep them in their own beds (minus the crib tents - that's out)??? Just let them be?? I have no idea what to do anymore. I just wish they weren't so cute when they get into so much trouble!!

THIS is why Nothing Ever Gets DONE....

This happened after rice and macaroni, at different times this morning while I was doing laundry and dishes (respectively). This time, I was trying to make supper. To say I'm a touch ticked would be putting it extremely mildly...
The Guilty Parties:

Even a dyson was not made to withstand triplet boys, I do not think... And, for those of you who are thinking "She must not baby-proof"...here is the proof. How they got it open is beyond me and nothing else works...

We May Be Sick, but....

I'll keep a look out.. Oh, hi Mommy! I wasn't doing anything, I promise. It was all his idea... Am I cute enough for you??Quick...drop everything while I distract her with my good looks!
