Being a Mom of 3

This weekend, we have an extra kid! MJ and Hayley decided to get away for a night and so Maya gets to stay with us!  She LOVES playing with Olivia and Noah, so much so, that she didn't even take her nap today. She was having such a blast that when we tried to put her down she just ran out of the room:) So we didn't push it and she didn't fuss or get tired all day. She's amazing.  We took the kids to the mall to play and we had a blast. We were definitely stared at about 10x as much as normal with both 1 1/2 year olds in the double stroller.  they are 7 weeks apart so they look like twins:)
Fitting the kids in our 4 door sedan
inside the bag: strawberry milk for the big girl, pink sippy cup for Maya, Milk AND juice for our picky boy, apples in 2 snacks traps for toddlers, whole apple for big girl, bread for all three, diapers for toddlers and camera. whew. somehow that seems like much more work than getting the bag ready for 2 kids
snack time
All 3 playing - Liv climbing on the car -she's my little monkey, climbing on everything and the toddlers headed for the ball pit
the "twins" in the stroller
Munchin' on fried tempeh - yum yum! Those 2 chowed down like I'd never seen before. We didn't bring our travel high chairs so I left them in the stroller and just fed both of them. I couldn't get the food in their mouths fast enough! it was hilarious.
here's sweet little Maya. I think we thoroughly wore her out playing all day long. She was such a trooper and didn't fuss at all. Her normal bedtime is around 8pm, but we put her down at 630pm and she squaked for less than a minute and was out!
