Camping Supply-Shopping & Triplets at Target

-
Image
Today we had to make a Target run to stock up on camp things for my eldest.  He will leave in about a week for Camp Pioneer, a boy scout camp in Arkansas for a whole week's vacation from his siblings and family!  Being a typical pre-teen/tween kinda guy, he has his own little quirks and idiosyncrasies such as his habit of wanting to wear only jeans during the very hot and sweltering Louisiana summers and wearing any t-shirt that he has discovered hanging in his closet such as the very nice, very new yet long sleeved green army shirt that he decided to try and wear out yesterday.  Hmm... I really have to do some convincing and get him to change his wardrobe over to normal summer clothes somehow.  So, off to Target we went, triplets, stroller, 12 year old and all. I did manage to get him to pick out several pairs of very long, what I would label as "Skater" shorts as they are worn way past his knees (skaters wear these in some hopes of not skinning their knees!)...

Momsquad Friends & Friend-Friends Are the BEST!

-

I have been reading about all of these mommies that are lonely after having their kids.  It seems that once we have our kids, we seem to lose track of our social lives.  This makes me wistful for my friends. I haven’t seen most of mine in quite a while.  After all, many of my friends just so happen to live in other states.  After working for Renaissance festivals for the past ten years, I have friends spread out literally all over the place.  I don’t attribute that to the birth of my triplets, although I suppose it must have a little to do with it.  F or obvious reasons, I no longer work for the Renaissance festival.  We were asked to come back and work, triplets and all, however I just felt that the festival might have some child labor problems if I decided to try and lug my trio out there and work in the lanes as performers.  I suppose I could also go back to work for my friends who have several stores on the site, but I am just not so sure tha...

Breaking In the NEW Triplet Stroller: Let's Go On An Adventure!

-
Image
Our new triplet stroller came in the mail on Wednesday.  I spent a good bit of time on our front porch assembling it, as we just couldn’t fit it into the living room with everything else!  I was so excited over it, that when my son suggested taking it for a spin on Thursday, I agreed.  Armed with a well-packed diaper bag and two insulated bottle bags full of sippy cups, we headed out the door for the day.  We were feeling ambitious and had decided to try and take the triplets to see their very first movie.  I headed down to the Boardwalk to check it all out, figuring that we could see a movie and maybe even get some lunch if the triplet’s moods stay happy!  I had hopes of not having as much trouble there as we do shopping indoors at Wal-mart or even the mall.  Because it was still really early, (we were shooting for an 11:30 movie) we were able to get a good parking spot right next to the elevators in the parking garage.  It was looking really pos...

Start Christmas Shopping EARLY To Find the Right Christmas Doll!

-
Image
I know I seem a bit early, starting my Christmas shopping in June.  The new situation, having four kids, demands a bit more planning than starting shopping on the day after Thanksgiving.  Last year, I shopped all the summer toy sales and consignment sales for Christmas.  I have since learned that EBay is my friend! I figured this out when, armed with my 20%-off-anything-in-the-store-coupon, I set out to try and buy my baby girl her Christmas dollie.  Usually, these come from places like "The White Rabbit" or "Toy Fair"-everyone always gets excited over the red and white striped wrapped presents from "Toy Fair!"  Now, I am very picky when it comes to dollies.  My grandmother and mum always made sure Santa remembered to deliver very special dollies under my Christmas tree each year, and I am doing my best to try and stick with tradition.  That day, I scoured the shelves of Toy Fair, hoping that the most wonderful dollie would be there waiting for me....

The Art of Shopping in Shreveport-Bossier City, LA: Trio In Tow

-
Image
Shopping is a necessary evil that must be done, triplets, or no triplets. Being that I don’t have anyone to leave them with while I go shopping, I have to take them with me.  In the beginning it was different. I didn’t have a stroller until they were five months old, which meant I had to REALLY improvise.  In theory, I should be able to attach the car seat/baby carrier to the buggy.  To do this, I would need no less than three buggies. Not a good idea for someone shopping solo.  It looked promising at Sams, as they had a double seat in the front of the buggy that would seat two theoretically.  Note to self: It does NOT seat two car seats. I quickly found a solution that would allow me to go out and get the things I would need sans a stroller.  The solution was to place two of the seats (usually the boys) facing each other(so that they could entertain each other) side-ways in the container part of the shopping cart and put the other seat in another cart....
