le mile hauts triplés

Fall is here so we did a lot of fall things this month like pumpkin patch, playing in leaves, fall hair cuts, family photo shoot, and lots of park time at City Park.

Evi

Connor

So, it may look like we have it all together this day at the pumpkin patch but I gotta say....I had a case of 'triplet brain' pretty bad! First off, we were supposed to meet the STORM group (triplet families in the area) but I was a week too early! Then, on the way to the farm I asked Todd if he shut the front door which he said, 'no, did you?'. So we had to call Mike to go to our house to shut the door...which was wide open!!! Luckily Maggie was fast asleep on the couch (such a good guard dog).

The below pics are of Evi dressed in MY old clothes!!! My mom came to visit and brought the museum of Kate in clothing!!! It was pretty hilarious and I have many many more but she really got sick of it after awhile. Some of the clothes she can actually still wear but some are just too 70's!!!

Evi loves to hold hands AND kiss. Isn't that great?vThe boys put up with it and actually like it but Evi is always the instigator and just LOVES it!

holding hands through their cribs at nap time!

This one is just too much!!! I love how she closes her eyes!!! AND Ben is almost 4, way too old!

Things they are doing and saying...
What does a monkey say?... ah ah (as in oh ah ah)
What does a dog say?...woof woof (we have two really loud barking dogs near our house so this was an easy one to learn)
What does a lion say?...rooooaaar (Connor can really nail this one. It's so adorable!!)
And occasionally,
What noise does a car make?...vroom vroom
What does a cow say?...moooo

Evi babbles and babbles and babbles and is definitely a hand talker. Whatever she's saying she's saying it with some personality!

They all love to sit on things. They get this proud accomplished look on their face when they sit on anything. Like they're saying, "yep, I just sat on that all by myself. I am so big!"

I have to admit I had a lot more written about what they are doing but it got erased so I'll try to remember and add more soon.

They also all love to go upstairs. As soon as you say let's go upstairs. They all run to the gate. They do this about 5 times a day and are very skilled. Until...
one time. We were heading upstairs after a halloween party and I was by myself. (Todd was on a business trip). Everyone was almost all the way up when...Connor fell. It was awful. I was so scared. I still don't like thinking about it. Long story short, my neighbors (one of which is a doctor) came over and I took Connor to the ER. Mike met me there WITH LIAM. Connor is fine. They didn't even do a CT scan but I was scared to death. He was playing and laughing and I was sobbing. Parenting is hard. We made a new family rule that no one is ever allowed to hurt themselves again...EVER.
