Mother's Day pictures

Usually we go to the beach, but the logistics of that with 3 that don't walk... didn't feel like figuring it out. So instead we went swimming in the pool.  Here are some pictures.

After a little while the babies started getting antsy to get out, so I dried them off and put them in the playpen one by one... By the time all 3 were out of the pool I couldn't help but think of this poem by Shel Silverstein

There's too many kids in this tub.  There's too many faces to scrub.  I just washed a behind that I'm sure wasn't mine.  There's too many kids in this tub.

(Shelley, recognize that dog? LOL)

No worries, after a picture or two Brianna came back out and Emma and Micah did just fine ;)  Then... some popsicles.  We'll call them appetizers to our early dinner!

  2. I love the pics. Looks like they might have needed to hop back in the pool after the popsicles. :)
