We had a play date this morning with TRIPLET boys who are 2.5.  Benton, Charlie & Campbell.  Quite a threesome.  They are identical and sooooo cute.  And soooo energetic!  I think the boys were quite shocked and didn't know how to interact with them.  They were outnumbered!  That has never happened to them before!

After they left we had twin girls come over.  They were supposed to be at our house a little earlier but they got tied up.  Anyway, by the time the girls came Luke & Bray were a little frazzled!  It took so much energy for them to play with the boys!

Brayden has such a tender heart.  While the triplets were here, we all went into the boys' room so their Mom could change one of their diapers.  The train table is in Luke & Bray's room and it was a big hit with the Tucker boys.  I said something like, "I think your friends like the train table" and Bray thought for a minute and then said "Friends can take train table home".  It was SO SWEET.  

I made the boys and twin girls lunch and chatted with their mama.  It was fun.  By the time everyone left and the boys went down for nap I was beyond fried.  Seriously.  I just needed a few minutes of QUIET.  SILENCE.  PEACE.  Ahhhhhhh...it was heaven.  And as soon as I start to fall into a sleep, "Mooooooooooommmmmmyy".  It is SO hard to get up when you are just about asleep.

The boys are really getting into pretend play now.  They like to "drive" places and come back.  Typical places they go other than work is church, going to pick up Thomas & Percy, school, Ella's.  Today they used their Jay Jay the Jet Plane storage bag as their suitcase.  Bray left the room and said, "Bye, lub (love) you".  

Luke told his Ganma (short from Grandma, John's mom) that he needed to go potty today.  He took her by the hand, straight to his potty, preceded to take his pants off, and sure enough -- pee came out.  Does this mean I have to potty train now?  All the moms tell me that "boys are harder" and they are not trained until they are three.  My guys are barely two.  I do have some big boy underwear they like to play in.  We have played around with the potty but that's about it.  I have such cute pictures of the guys in their underwear but since this is the internet and all and since I could have a crazy stalker person out there, I'll just post one little pic.  Cute enough to get the idea!

I really do not understand how the triplet's mom does it.  I am beyond baffled at how she keeps her sanity.  She seems like such a patient, kind mom.  It's like the show Jon & Kate, Plus 8.  I LOVE that show!  I am amazed at the strength of that woman.  Sheer strength and energy.  And Love.  Lots of love.
