Busy, busy week

This week we have been really busy. Monday I took the boys to an open gym and let them jump and climb. The babies thought mom needed a workout and made sure they were all going in different directions. The open gym is great for Britton to burn off some energy. He loved the trampoline and swinging on the rope. I was only able to snap a couple pictures since most of my time was spent herding children.

Here is Britton swinging on the rope like the monkey he is!

Everett is super strong and showed it here hanging from the bar. I had to really hurry to get the picture before he fell, so it isn't the best.


Tuesday after we dropped Britton off at school the babies and I headed over to a friends for a playdate. We even got to go swimming. We played for a long time and then it started to get late. We left at 12:45 and I had to pick up Britton at 2:30. The babies immediately fell asleep in the car, so I spent an hour and a half touring the back roads. This wasn't the first time that I drove around randomly to let the babies get a nap in, and I'm sure it won't be the last

Wednesday we went to the Fort Worth zoo with the multiples group. The drive there was a long hour, but the little boys were able to get a nap in. There was 1 set of quads, 1 set of triplets and 4 sets of twins, along with 2 siblings. All of these kiddos were 3 and under!!

We lined up the triplets and quads and got a picture of the massive Choo Choo

When we stopped for lunch we lined up the Choo Choo's the same so that it was easy for us to feed the babies. This of course caused a big stir and we became another zoo exhibit! It's amazing how much attention a couple sets of multiples cause.

Britton was quick to make friends with an adorable set of twin girls. They spent their time holding hands and looking at things together.


After 4 long hours at the zoo we decided to call it a day. I was very impressed at how well all the kids did being out in the heat so long. Surprisingly, there wasn't any tantrums and I don't think the babies cried once!

Tomorrow I think we're going to take it easy at home as I need to catch up on some cleaning that has gotten neglected this week. It has been a good week with lots of fun things to do, but all these outings have worn me out. I don't remember the last time I have been this tired!
