Typical Tuesday

Today was my first time to venture out with all 3. Another success! It seems once we went from 1 to 2 kids, this transition from 2 to 3 isn't that big of a deal. L had dance today so while she was dancing her heart out (something she totally enjoys now with this new studio) the boys and I went to a local grocery store for eggs, a coffee and chocolate milk and the best temporary tattoos we have ever found. Those tattoos last like 2 weeks - it's great!! My kids get so sad when the tattoos fade away after a couple of hours. The rest of the day was nice. We did school this afternoon and S even participated with some preschool things. He actually sat still and did 2 pages!!!

Daddy Piper was late getting home tonight so I took the kids for a walk to burn some of the "when is daddy coming home?" energy. I feel so BAD when he's late coming home. He was gone for about 13 hours and that cuts into his playtime with the kids. He only saw them for about 1 1/2 hours before it was their bedtime. I feel so horrible knowing he works so hard for us and doesn't get to enjoy them like I do. I wonder if other SAHM's feel this way?

Tomorrow we are off to IKEA to get a bed before my MIL flies in this weekend. The kids are excited about the play area at IKEA. L has been in there one time, about a year ago and S has never been in there. They also have a breakfast deal going on. Should be a fun day. I am very much looking forward to my MIL's visit! She was coming in to help with the older 2 while I was in the hospital having Baby J but since he is already here and I am now feeling much better, I hope we get to do some fun stuff with her.

Off to bed while all THREE kids are sleeping.

Thank you God for my children, my wonderful husband and the many blessings you have bestowed on our family. Please guide me and watch over us as we raise these babies. Amen.
