Movie Night

Jon has been on vacation all this week, so we've been doing a few fun things with the kids. Thursday night we did a movie night with Jacob. After everyone had baths and PJ's, we put the babies to bed and Jon blew up our air bed and piled blankets and pillows up in front of the TV. We made popcorn and the three of us watched "The Bee Movie". It was really fun! Of course, Jacob thought it was more fun to jump on the air bed than to watch the movie, but overall he liked the Bee Movie.

Look before washing ...

We had a slight dishwasher mishap yesterday ...

Yes, that is a Mega Block melted to the bottom of the dishwasher!! I pulled another blue block out of the top rack of the dishwasher yesterday, not realizing there was one on the bottom too! I'm not sure how we are going to get that sucker out because it is melted to the black metal part. More to follow ... :o)

Where has the time gone??

I can't believe it's already October! Our entire neighborhood is decorated for Halloween (everyone seems to decorate more for Halloween than Christmas!) and I have barely gotten my 4th of July decorations down! I'm hoping we can make it to the pumpkin patch this weekend and at least get some pumpkins out in the front yard. Jacob has decided he wants to be a pirate for Halloween this year. As far as the little kids, I'm not sure yet. I feel like I only have a few years when they will let me pick out their costume, so I want to do something cute, but I haven't come up with anything yet. Any ideas?? Our church is doing a carnival Halloween night and if it's anything like last year, it will be awesome! Jacob had a great time... there were bounce houses, games, food, music and lots and lots of candy! So we'll probably go to that and then come home for a little trick-or-treating.

We went to Windsor last weekend and went wine tasting with Joe and Kindra. Mom and dad stayed here with the kids. We went to a bunch of wineries along Dry Creek in Healdsburg. Our favorite was Bella winery. You did the tasting in their wine caves! After wine tasting, we ate at Mary's Pizza (one of our favorites!) and then went bowling. We figured out we hadn't been bowling since before Jacob was born! We got to celebrate Jon's dad's birthday on Sunday with a bbq at the Allingham's. It was great to see everyone, but weird to not have the kids with us. I always look forward to our time away together as a couple, but end up missing the kids like crazy! It was fun to get home and see how excited everyone was to see us. Dylan learned where his nose and hair is and Megan had her hair in pig tails for the first time (thanks to Grandma Lynnie!). Oh, I can't forget to mention that I bowled a 173... my career high! :o)

Ok, I'm off to make dinner... I'll upload a few new cute photos later tonight.

xoxo,
Lisa :o)

Photos from the week

Jacob and his "show and spell" bag from preschool. Each week they learn a letter of the alphabet and we fill up the bag with an item from home that starts with that letter. So far we had Austin from the Backyardigans, Buzz Lightyear and a car.

Jacob and Megan snuggling under Jacob's blanket... so cute!

Triplets first bath all together!

Dylan flashing is adorable smile!

15 Month check-up today

Jon and I took the babies in for their 15 month check-up this morning. Everyone is doing great. They are all about the same height - 31 1/2 inches. Megan weighs 18 lbs 13 oz. She's such a tiny thing! She's the only one who still has to ride rear-facing in her carseat! Dylan weighs 21 lbs 5 oz and Ryan weighs 23 lbs 15 oz. They each got one shot and hardly cried (yeah!). Besides the appointment taking an hour and a half, it was a pretty good trip.
