🎃 2024 Fall Festival at DixieMaze Farms 🎃

Image
 Enjoy corn mazes, pumpkin patches, haunted attractions, murdery mystery dinners & more! That fall chill is in the air which means that it's time for the 2024 Fall Festival at DixieMaze Farms, y'all!  I don't know about you guys, but I cannot WAIT to head out to the farm with the kids for a breath of fresh air. I want to go get lost in their corn field, watch the kids jump in their jumpy-thing, root for my favorite piggy in the piggy races and just enjoy the beautiful fall day! There is SO much to do out there, I could easily spend the entire day AND evening out there.  If you have older kids, you CAN literally do exactly that on Fridays and Saturday nights with their Murder Mystery Dinners for us adults AND their Haunted Attraction features for the older kiddos!  How much fun can one place provide?

Something Worth Biting For!

Recently, as part of the adjustment to our new move, my trio have taken to new eating habits.  Usually, they will sit in their little feeding chairs and eat whatever it is that I serve them.  As of late, it has become my habit to sit at our tiny table and have my lunch while they have theirs in the feeding chairs.  Today, they finished earlier than I did. I very innocently let them out of their chairs and moved them out of the way to the cubby-hole next to the buffet.  I sat back down to finish my lunch, only to find myself mobbed by my tiny trio.  Kian looked at me with his very huge baby blue's and said in his sweetest little voice, "May I try?"  Vivie just stood there with her hand on my knee, looking up at me with her baby blue's saying, "Mmmm."  Kai figured out that they were basically begging for food and being that he preferred to know what it was that he was eating BEFORE actually tasting it, he wandered off in search of his truck.  I ver...

Getting Bigger & Growing Up

Image
My triplets are officially 17 months old now. They have come quite a long way from the tiny preemies that they were when they were first born.  They can talk, cruise, and of course bite and pull hair and blow air kissies.  Along the way, they have reached many milestones, some of which I thought would never come.  They learned to drink out of a bottle, they cut their first teeth, and started pulling up.  They even finally started getting bigger. In fact, once they started growing, apparently there is no stopping them!  They have outgrown everything from their clothes and toys to the most disconcerting item, their play-yard.  It is one of those "Rug-rat's" type play-yards that look like a bunch of baby gates linked together.  It even has an extension in it to make it big enough for three, or so I had thought.  With the birth of our triplets, we officially out-grew our 2 bedroom home. We have made it work for much longer than anyone had imagined pos...

Triplet Time Out!

Image
Everything is different when you have multiples. Because they are born early and with their siblings, they develop at a different rate than a single-born baby.  This means that they are smaller and do not do the same things at the same time as other babies that are the same “Age” as they are do.  My trio rolled over later, learned to sit up later and didn’t even cut teeth until they were a little over nine months old.  Actually, only one of my triplets can even walk and they are currently 16 months old.  I don’t know if it is because they are tinier than normal babies, or if it is because I have babied them too much, but this go-round I have been a bit more lax in the discipline department.  My eldest was disciplined from the beginning as I could recognize that he understood what it was that I meant.  My triplets have been different in that I just haven’t thought that they would understand the concepts of right or wrong yet.  Don’t get me wrong, I hav...

Triplet Toddler Teething Troubles

Image
It's very quiet right now, considering it's about four in the afternoon.  As of late it's been very noisy for some reason or another.  My trio are all cutting molars and various other teeth in odd places.  This means that they are teething. Teething means that ANY object that can fit in their mouth must be BITTEN and often!  This process has involved chewing on such things as a tiny moose figurine (sorry Tyrone) that apparently is best chewed upon if you insert the antlers into your very wide open mouth and twist it a bit to where you can get those antlers in between the gaps in your teeth so that the missing ones can be enticed to break the skin.  Unfortunately for the moose, that pesky tooth has yet to break the skin yet.  Sadly for my teething toddler, that moose's antlers just BARELY fit into his mouth so he has to open super wide to even be able to have the chance to maneuver it into his mouth.  The laws of physics just are NOT in either party's ...
