An Afternoon at the Nursery

Kurt and I spent Friday afternoon at a local nursery with the kids picking out the plants and bushes we wanted for our front yard, which by the way looks awesome thanks to my hubbie working all day Sunday on it :) The weather was gorgeous and whenever the weekend rolls around I am so completely anxious to get out of the house and get some fresh air. At this time in my life with twins who are just barely 16 months and a 4 month old baby it is more work then it is worth get out for a walk. I mean if I am really rushing it would still take me thirty minuets to get all three kiddos ready and loaded and not to mention it is quit amusing to be walking down the street with a double stroller and a baby in a Bjorn carrier. This actually was the case a few days ago when I had to pick Kurt up, twins in double stroller and Charlotte strapped to my chest. Needless to say I must have been stopped four times by people in just the parking lot. Everyone thinks they are triplets, nope twins and a newbie, close though.
And thanks to Grandma and Grandpa making the trip down to our new house (which they have been every weekend!) Kurt and I were able to get so much stuff done that would have taken twice as long it we had the kids with us. Oh and big news, Kate said her first official word beside Mama and Dada. Drum roll please............Buh Bye! It was completely adorable. And of course who did she say it to? GRANDMA!!!! Just like her first steps were taken with GRANDMA. What is it about Grandma that Katelyn just waits to do all her first in front of her. Honestly I think it is too cute and special.

Mommy and Charlotte

Katelyn and Josh a little grumpy because they did not want to be in the stroller and no Josh was not having shoes that day. Oh well I am learning very quickly to pick my battles.
