Dressed up for school The Girl trying to show her skirt twirling

OH- and notice the new music? If you are a Minnesotan you of course KNOW about the Gear Daddies….. but I felt the need to share a few of their tunes with those not familiar with them. For most of my friends- these were the songs of our college years Adam- you know which one’s for you
I apologize in advance for the profanity in the 2nd song- so turn it down if kids are around…but it’s a classic
(Click the arrow on the music box to skip to the next song….I think I put 8 on there)

Meet Sally. Beloved dog of The Girl- and “sister” to Shy-Dog and Blinky. Blinky is Boy#2’s little dog- who’s been missing since he brought him to school for show+share last week….hopefully soon he’ll make a reappearance so the dog trio can be reunitied once again

Self explanatory
In the last pic they are watching the UPS driver bring packages to our neighbors

First of all- DAY # 300! Rock on!!
2nd- I’m a little in love with this photo.
Today I took the kids out in an attempt to get some nice fall pics and possibly some for our Xmas card….once again…best laid plans gone awry….why is it that when I WANT a good group pic it never happens?

These boys were such a hoot- LOADS of energy!!!! I think the wubbies picture is my personal favorite lol

Today the Girl had very specific ideas about how she wanted her hair to look…..now as you’ve surely noticed she’s a big headband wearer….she use to wear a lot of ponytails but these days doesn’t like them…until today…when she was adamant that she have THREE- and with these specific ties and bows…..makes me laugh The boys loved it because they felt represented- since one loves blue and the other green.

Tonight the kids had a Halloween party thrown by my mothers of multiples club- they had a BLAST! The 1st pic is our lovely group of friends- whom we’ve been hanging out with frequently over the past 5yrs-it’s been about 2yrs since we’ve had a group pic of the 9 of them I think

Shy-Dog is Boy#1’s most favorite stuffed animal…..and he went missing about 6months ago when we were down at my dad’s house. Despite searching on all of our parts, MANY times, he could not be found. Until now. My dad’s keen eye spotted just a little paw peeking out from the fireplace/stove pipe….he had landed there after the boy was throwing him around.
So today Shy-Dog was returned to the boy……who’s VERY happy

Enjoying one of our last warm days…..

I had forgotten how BUSY 2yr old multiples can be!!! S&J were SO much fun to chase around and attempt to capture. So much personality and ENERGY- just fun fun fun!

A belated preview from a shoot last weekend. How CUTE is she?! Such a doll

Last night at bedtime, The Girl told us she had a piece of corn stuck in her ear….looked in…sure enough could barely see what looked like the tip of a piece of dried corn (from the decorative dried corn) WHY she stuck it in there- she said the boys were too loud and she wanted to plug her ear. Baloney. We tried to get it out….no luck. So put some mineral oil in her ear and hoped it would fall out while she slept. No luck.
So….called the Dr 1st thing in the morning- and today around 11am we headed to the Ped…who looked- and then sent us to Urgent Care….where after an hour of trying to suck it out w/a vacuum thing…and flush it out with water….sent us to see an ENT. Head to the ENT….wait another hour. He looks at it….tries to get it out…says it’s now so wedged in there and against her ear drum…there’s no way to get it out. Plus her eardrum is now so tender from all the attempts that it appears it might rupture, so we need to get it out ASAP. SO we’re off to the hospital to have it surgically removed.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!!
Spent HOURS at the hospital waiting and waiting…with the boys crazy bouncing off the walls tried of being cooped up in small rooms for hours on end and starving….finally at 8:30PM the anethesologist comes in and she gets wheeled in to surgery.

She’s now cornless, and at home recovering.

How ridiculous is that??!!!

They gave us the piece of corn in a little tube…..makes me laugh.

It’s got to be the most expensive piece of corn ever.

And seriously…by age 5 don’t you know not to stick things in your ears?!

Oy.

Oh- and as for today’s title….as we are leaving the ENT and heading to the hospital…Boy #2 says to me “Mom- today we’re having a……. CORNY DAY!”

Hardee-har-har

We have one Maple tree in our yard and it has the MOST gorgeous leaves every Fall….these giant lovely leaves of glorious colors…

Yet ANOTHER rainy day…this makes 4 in a row….sigh….
The kids acquired some bugs in slime this weekend from their grandparents (thanks DAD) which I find disgusting, which of course makes them constantly flick the bugs at me much to their hysterical laughter. Boy #2 “Hey mom- take a picture of me with my slimey bug!” The bugs are not only slimey but sticky….so they’ve also discovered that if they throw them on the ceiling they’ll stick there for awhile, until they fall on unsuspecting people….
