Well, the Princess is off to school, the Prince got up at 6:00AM just like his sister. The Knight was up by 7:00 again. It is an early start to the day - that means another power-shower for this MomOf3. Power Shower = jump in, wash your hair, soap up as much as you can, rinse, and try to be out before the Prince and the Knight break anything (max. 5 minutes). Yawn! Last night was kind of fun. We made a family trip to Costco. (Exciting, I know!) We needed some staple household items (diapers and milk) and we were also ready to get out of the house for a while. It is web-worm time outside, and because I am not partial to having little worms falling on my hair from the sky, I vetoed playing out in the back. This only lasts for a little while. So, off to Costco we went... The Prince and the Princess had some major energy to burn. They took turns spinning and dancing through the isles of Costco. I don't mind them doing this as long as there are not other people around. I don't care that people see my kids dance, but I do care when my little dancers run into other people and/or their carts. But we got in and out of Costco in roughly an hour without taking out any other shoppers or their carts. Not too bad for shopping with three kids. Costco has some neat stuff! It is where we got our playset for the back yard two years ago - right around this time. The Knight was still a newborn, the Prince was 1 1/2 and the Princess was 3 1/2. It took DadOf3 about a week to get the thing put up, but it has been well worth it. It is our own little back yard park. (See pictures in this post.) We have a park about 1/2 mile away from our house as well - variety is the spice of life! We arrived home from Costco, and DadOf3 brought in our haul while I got the kids through the potty, bathed the Princess for school the next day, and put them all to bed - all in 15 minutes! I was pretty proud of that! OK, it helped that the kids were tired and it was 1/2 hour past bedtime - sometimes that works against me though! More later!
