Took some piccies of the triplets the other day and thought folks might want to see who I spend my days with  They weren't taken to show folks, I only took them because they saw the camera and wouldn't let me leave without taking pics of them (there's only so many shouts of "Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!" a woman can take)...so anyway, please excuse their scruffy appearance, and dont giggle at the fact they're still in nappies when heading for 4 in December  Becca:  Jack:  Becca and Jack:   The reason why Joe wasn't in the last two pics (fairly evident by the face) - he didn't want to have his picture taken with them because he was in a grump:  His attempt at a smile:  All three together, looking like tramps, barefoot (and filthy) - dontcha just love kids? ;D  Anyhoo, that's 3 of the 5. The other two I only see at feeding times, and full moons... |

You wouldn't believe it. I even crave the baby days, even the waking up through the night for feeds was easier than how they are now LOL. I love them to bits really, and they can be amazingly sweet. Just the other 23 hours and 59 minutes, they're little...erm...well...terrors.

They look so innocent and cute (I know I know you probably disagree with this.) It seems like just yesterday you have the triplets, oh and you DO spend your days with your snails too. Come on, you have to admit you take more pics of your snails than your children. |

Aww they're adorable Lisa. I can see the horns though lol
Rofl @ shouting cheese. Our Jack is the same! He's such a poser lol. When Elliott starts talking properly he'll be the same, he already flashes a smile everytime he sees the camera lol

You're right, I do take more piccies of the snails than the kids - god, I'm a bad mum *lol* Truth is, I dont go on any multiple mum forums any more, and my camera is digital so the piccies are generally just on my computer. I resize and edit them, then save them in their own folder - and every now and then go back through them thinking "I remember them when they were that young, they were lovely babies...*sob*...what went wrong?!".
I'm only kidding. Anyone who knows me knows these kids, and their big sisters, are my life. I love them to bits, even when they shred their beds, climb on the sofa and open the fish tank to rip plants out, spit on the walls (Jack) when in bed, chuck massive tantrums, have learnt the word "No" and now know how to scream it as well as say it.....etc etc.
Then you have the way they always say sorry (and mean it!) if they hurt someone, and give them a cuddle, the way Rebecca makes her new teddy say "Nanight" in a squeaky voice, the way Jack literally becomes part of you when he cuddles you, the way Joe says yes and no when you ask him questions he couldn't possibly understand, and kisses you 5 times in a row at bedtime....etc etc.
Dont get me wrong. They are pure evil. I daren't cut the lads' hair in case I find a 666 mark. I'm sure Becca has cloven hooves.
But I love 'em ;D

Run for your life! ;D No real advice other than take any offer of help you get - even if you dont need it at the time. If a friend says do you need any shopping - say yes please, even if you only want a mars bar - otherwise they will assume you're ok and not offer again  Same goes with babysitting, if someone offers to have your little ones for an hour - dont be embarrassed to take them up on the offer so you can grab a nap, or go for a walk out, or even get on with the ironing or something. And take every spare minute you get to relax. Dont be ashamed of going back to bed while they nap - folks may think you're being lazy but they dont have twins It doesn't have to be a sleep though, a nice bath, or sofa/brew/choccie/film, or whatever - grab it and cherish it *lol* Speaking of which, I'm off to bed! ;D |

Lisa, you are really softy, of course if people spend time to read your posts on the board, they know you love the triplets and your other 2 children. But then which Mum does not love their own children? Joe is the cheeky one from the pics I see.
PS I was only kidding you that you take more pics of your snails. Don't take that too serious.
