~We had a plumber come to our house today. He was a very nice guy so we chatted a bit. He asked if I did daycare. HAHA! Nope buddy, they are all mine.
~While shopping at Walmart once another shopper asked me if Breena & Eli were twins because as she put it "I'm sorry but you can't possibly be old enough to have three children!".
~I answered the door once to a stranger who asked me if I was the babysitter.
I am not sure if I should be flattered or insulted ;) haha!

Us Update!
It seems like I could write a weekly update on each of our children- their new discoveries, behaviors, funny stories...etc. So this post is devoted to just that!
Breena (Bug) becomes more & more like a little lady every day. She is so much like her daddy- very inquisitive & interested in learning about everything! She loves taking walks & listening to her daddy fill her brain with information. She is still a big helper for me around the house. She is so great with Toby (besides needing several reminders not to pick him up). Breena has been begging us to buy her a bunny or a kitty or a "white puppy that can't walk". She is such an animal lover. We plan to visit the zoo again this summer & I think she will really have a ball!
Eli (Booper) has such a unique personality. Eli is very busy ALL. OF. THE. TIME. That boy is constant motion! He really likes to go to parks to run some energy off! Eli loves music. He sings to us often & regularly plays his toy guitar & drums. He is also really good with Toby. He surrounds Toby with toys whenever he gets a chance. Eli has to do everything his big sister does. He copies what she says & wants every toy she is playing with. Eli has very little interest in coloring or doing anything that involves sitting still for too long. He loves fixing things with his tools and playing with his plastic animals. Eli is also a big helper. He helps set the table for lunch each day!
Toby (Toodles) is going to be seven months old this week. I can hardly believe it. Toby is a rolling machine these days. He loves to roll around on the floor. He isn't very interested in sitting by himself yet & sort of topples over. He is so much different than his big brother who crawled before six months! Toby hates eating solid food & prefers to drink a bottle every 2 hours day & night. He is giggling more & constantly wears a smile! Toby loves his siblings- he smiles whenever they acknowledge him. He is a tiny little thing & I love cuddling up with him (even in the middle of the night!).
Mommy & Daddy are hoping our house sells soon. We are going on six months of having our house on the market and it is getting exhausting! We have had a few serious prospects but none have resulted in an offer. We have yet another second showing tomorrow so hopefully this will be the one! The house is consuming much of our free time these days. It'll be nice once we are finally moved into a bigger home!
That's us in a nutshell! Thanks for continuing to read along with our crazy lives!

Sweet Moments
Some days daily life can be exhausting. I'm sure everyone feels that way from time to time. Being a mother to three children ages 3 & under is definitely a tiring job. Toby refuses to eat solid foods & therefore insists on having a bottle every 2.5 hours day & night. Eli continues to be an early risers despite our efforts to move his bedtime later. Breena has recently given up her naps which means no promise of two QUIET hours every afternoon at our house. We are always busy around our house. Cook/Clean/Change Diapers/Referee Arguments/Give Snuggles/Play & Laugh/Repeat. This in combination with my outside of the home job & having our house for sale is the perfect drug for some worn out parents. But everyday there are sweet moments too; the feeling of a Dove chocolate melting on my tongue. Like today when I peaked in on Eli while he played. He was pantless, wearing his winter boots and doing pat-a-cake alone on his bedroom flood. Sweet Moment. Or when I hear Breena playing "daycare" with her babies in her room. She spreads out a blanket on the floor & carefully lays each of her babies on it. She feeds them, rocks them, & puts them to bed. Sweet Moment. Or when I hear Toby happily talking to himself after a long afternoon nap. I usually find him with both socks off while sucking on his toes. Sweet Moment. I love my job. I wouldn't trade my life for anything. And every single day that I walk around in a daze do to lack of sleep is worth it for the sweet, sweet moments like these.
