3:13 george is done first, tries stealing both bottles like a boss. climbs on me, pulling my hair and smacking my face. baby drool all over me.
3:14 parker is done, starts pushing his bottle around the room like a car.
3:15 nicole takes 2 empty bottles and puts them up. guard edison so he finishes without being jumped by greedy one year olds.
3:20 read a few books to parker and george to keep them busy
3:25 edison finishes. work with him on sitting up by himself. he spits up. baby vomit now on my shirt.
3:30 i find myself reading the same book about koalas for the 5th time. so much baby talk by now. rock edison in the rocking chair.
3:35 diaper change for all- #4 #5 #6. #5 was stinky and #6 was a dooooozy. try to not vomit.

4:00 edison quietly sits, george hangs his head and arm out the side, and parker lays down sideways.
4:05 i walk. it doesnt matter where. anywhere. school kids pass me. cars stop and stare at the young girl with all the babies.
4:15 five blocks later, i turn around. parker is asleep. ive probably been talking to myself the whole walk. i text my mom.
4:20 i walk home, very slowly. snap a few pictures of my cute boys. walk some more.

Wow - I was a nanny for twins for awhile and I thought that was rough. Triplets sounds 20xs as hard. :-) They are adorable though.
Remind me to never have kids...
OH. MY. GOSH.
This made me giggle so hard. Oh, the joys of doozy diapers and baby snot. And 'screaming abandonment.' LOL.
So funny. At least you don't have to cook dinner!
