Feeding Toddler Triplets and Twins

We had a triplet feeding table, I found on craigslist! Best thing ever for consolidating your multiples to one area.  You can put down placemats, plates, or have them eat directly off the table.  We had a plastic mat under the table, purchased from Office Depot, for desk chairs.  Makes for very easy clean-up afterward. 

Also recommend the Fisher Price Space Saver High chair/booster seats.  They recline, and the plastic cushioned liners remove very easily for clean-up. So when your triplets start being able to climb out of the feeding table, buy these.

With the twins, heck, all that went out the window, they just ate off the floor.  Yes, at times, the floor mat came in quite handy with them!

How to Feed Infant Triplets & Twins when you are not an octopus

   Pretty early on, you learn well, quite frankly, that you have to feed your kids. It's not one of the easiest things to do, especially when they want to eat at the same time, and it's preferred that you feed them all at the same time, unless you just want to be a Zombie or a Robot. After all, new Moms of Multiples need your rest to function!

Some of the systems I found that work well include the Podee Bottles & the Milkmaid Foam Bottle Props.  I have included additional pics of other hands-free feeding systems that have high praise on other websites, as well.

Squirrels are nasty rodents!

So, this just happened. A rodent (otherwise known as a squirrel) was on my fence. i started walking toward it yelling get out of my yard, and he hopped over the fence poked his head back at me and I kept running snapping pics and he hid on the other side!

 I screamed, HEYYY, get off my fence! Get the fuck out of my yard!
Heyy you, I see you!! Go away! he just sat there and stared until I got closer. Then popped up and his butt flew in the air, he was on the other side, and his tail was sticking up and I was walking and snapping pics and he popped his head up, like Bitch, you still coming over here, oh shit! he took off on their side of the fence.  Nasty fucker.

Thats him on the other side of the fence.  I am sure he will be back again to torment me.

Ronald McDonald same Creepy-ass clown with new clothes

Ronald McDonald will appear in TV ads later this year wearing new clothes, including cargo pants and a vest.

Ronald McDonald has a new look, and he's ready for a selfie.

McDonald's said Wednesday its famous spokesclown will take an active role on social media for the first time, using the hashtag #ronaldmcdonald.

The freakishly hideous clown, once known for his painted-on smile and baggy yellow jumper, will also appear in TV ads later this year wearing new clothes, including obnoxious red sport coat, cargo pants and a vest. Same yellow and red, outrageous bright red hair. 

"His iconic big red shoes will remain the same," McDonald's said in a statement.

"Selfies ... here I come! It's a big world and now, wherever I go and whatever I do ... I'm ready to show how fun can make great things happen," McDonald's quoted the fictional clown as saying.

Ronald McDonald, made his debut in 1963 and has played a major role in making McDonald's the dominant player among kids in the fast-food industry. The company even named him its "chief happiness officer" in 2003. 

I doubt my kids are going to beg for a happy meal because of an ugly clown's new clothes!

I hate clowns, they freak me the hell out, but we will see how the kids feel about him, if they put statues of him all over now. 

Memorial Day Goodie Bags for classroom parties

Just finishing up on 50 Patriotic goodie bags for the triplets & twins classroom parties for Memorial Day.  I bought 10 lbs of Jelly Belly Jellybeans in Red (cherry), White (coconut) and Blue (blueberry).  I weighed each bag, (2.85 oz) makes 70 beans per bag.

Getting Easter Baskets Ready For Twins & Triplets

This year I have to plan for 3 Easter Egg Hunts. 1 At the Twins School, 1 At the Triplets' school, and 1 at Home.  I have to send each child to pre-k with an Easter Basket full of 1 Dozen Candy Filled plastic eggs.  I will then harvest as many of those that remain intact by day's end and rehide them in our backyard.

  I have also chosen to purchase 15 dozen of the prefilled Confetti Eggs.  'Cause who doesn't want to watch their kids smash 200 eggs on each other's head? Fun!!!

Kindergarten Registration for Triplets - All Done!

We were First in line! And Yes, that's Right! Applications x's THREE! They set us up with our very own table for all the packets and applications we had.  Mom & Dad have not written that much in a while.  Sadly, we were told that for new students the forms were not found online, only in person.  It took us both almost an hour.  But having had certified copies of all the other documents from home, and after the school nurse checked over the shot records, we we given 3 Thumbs up! The triplets are good to go! Open House is next month and we get to meet the Teacher in August.

Yes, I said Teacher, as in Only one.  We chose to have the triplets in one classroom this year so they can get aclimated and comfortable with the building and staff.  They can go to seperate class rooms next year.  

What a huge relief, to have this done! Next step, finding the Idiot's Guide to Helping your Triplets with Endless Hours of Kindergarten Homework!
