The boys' school had a KaBOOM! playground build today. I dressed the boys in their costumes for the occasion. Can't wait until Monday, when they can actually play on it!

Miles and Daddy having a moment. Today was exhausting. Holy cow. The boys were up, destroying their room before 6. We just left them to it, because there was no way I was getting up that early. And then it was an all-day whinefest. So we did what any smart family would do, and went to a restaurant. Ah well, at least it was loud.

Seriously? A beautiful new playground, and they're still playing in the dirt. Sigh.

It's hard to get all three boys to hold hands, and even harder to take a picture while they're also holding yours.

After the boys' glowing review at today's parent-teacher conferences, I took them to Pinkberry for "ice cream". They keep sidewalk chalk outside, so after we ate, I let them draw. Here's Oliver showing me what the face he drew is doing. So cute!

The light was so beautiful this afternoon, I'm so glad I had my camera with me. Look at my Ollie!

We had two birthday parties scheduled for the day (both for little girls named Estella who were turning 3!) but the boys were ready to go to Granny & Grandpa's after the first. So I obliged and went to the second party by myself. Maybe it sounds creepy, but I love going to kids' birthday parties without my kids. Heh.

I could have posted a picture from the fender-bender I got into yesterday, but it was so minor, that I don't even have any dramatic photos, just one of a scrape near the back tire. It should have been more dramatic, considering I had to wait two hours in a sketchy neighborhood for the cops (EMS even showed up, yeesh) while the sun went down. But I like this one better. Look at those filthy little boy fingers.

Miles was trying to wink. Hee hee!

At birthday party #3 of the weekend, there was a faux "Hello Kitty" pinata. The boys clearly enjoyed whacking her with a stick.

11/19/11

My friend Mary Catherine and her daughter Millie (who is the boys' age) came over yesterday to play. It warms the cockles of my heart to see the boys playing with other kids. Especially one that I'd like to have as a daughter-in-law one day. Mwah ha ha ha! (PS Check out the Risky Business attire Linus is sporting there. You can't see the socks, but they're there.)

The boys' school had its Thanksgiving lunch today. You can see Linus asking if this is a real pumpkin. It is not.

11/23/11

No one reads a story like Grandee. (I credit her for my love of reading, after all.)

11/28/11

I didn't take many pictures today...it's hard to find inspiration sometimes. So you'll have to settle for this picture of Miles (who is obsessed with that sweatshirt from my sister) and the Mr Potato Head that he put together at the gym daycare. (How I love our gym's daycare! Except they never want to leave, so that can be tricky.)

Grandee and Larry and their grandtriplets. Love how everyone is smiling!

11/26/11

Linus chillaxes at the mall with a cookie. We had to get out of the house yesterday, and thankfully, the mall by our house wasn't too crowded, surprisingly.

11/25/11

While my relatives were inside watching the LSU game, I set up the bouncy house in my mom's back yard for the boys. You know how I love jumping pics!

Ollie. In his new favorite hoodie.
