mean, other than occasionally drooling on myself I'm so tired. But that's normal right? Just say yes.
I have kind of been treading water getting used to all this. So I felt bad for the older hooligans who have watched a lot of movies the last couple weeks. I felt like we needed to do something crafty. I'm not crafty. So we colored.
I also didn't want to clean up a big mess. I figured coloring was relatively safe. Merrick only broke 1/3 of the crayons. Thanks goodness it's a big box. But he broke the black crayon, sadly, which was the only one he wanted to use.
I'll maybe attempt a craftier craft soon. Something that doesn't take long though since Jericho wants to eat every 10 minutes. But for now I think finding another black crayon would win me mom of the year.
The first shot is for Tones on Tuesday, Communal Global,
The last is for Sweet Shot.

The three kiddo thing...been there. LOL It gets easier, just keep alot of black crayons handy. :-)
That is tough..we've taped a lot of crayons, tried using colored pencils, and have attempted markers.
Always the crayon that they want, right? Cute shots of the kids.
I let my kids go to town with playdough, then I sweep all the stuff from the table onto the floor, sweep the floor and throw everything away. Playdough is too cheap to try to clean up and save again :)
I remember that it was with the third child that I sort of had to learn to juggle.

You are doing great momma. I only have two but they have been watching a lot of tv lately. Love these photos.
I know the feeling, three little ones can be quite overwhelming at first, eh? It gets better though, I promise. And then one day you walk into the room and see those three little ones playing together so sweetly, or having such a hilarious conversation that you quietly snicker in the corner, and then it's almost difficult to remember these tiresome periods. Almost ;-)
Lovely photographs!

As a mom of two, I say if everybody is still alive at the end of the day, then you're successful. Great shots! Visiting from Sweet Shot Tuesday.
Oh man... coloring saves the day at my house a lot of the time. I only have one - soon to be two kiddos and I can only imagine how tired you are.
I love these captures of your littles. I can't imagine having three! TV is such a great sanity saver, isn't it!
gosh, reading your blog posts make me so nervous! LOL but my oldest is older than your oldest. so there's hope that she will help out more? maybe?? [that's what i keep telling myself, lol]
my kids like it when i spread huge pieces of paper on the floor and let them go wild with the crayons. we have hardwoods, so it's not a huge issue if they go off the paper a bit.
hang in there, mama - you are doing great!!
Yep. Been there. Still kinda there. #4 is almost 6mos. #2&3 are 3.5 and #1 is 5.5 I feel like Ineed to be an octopus to make it all work. I find sitting on the floor works well as that age (baby) I could hold her and do other things with my hand simultaneously. Even nurse if I had to. Hang in there and don't forget to breathe! :)
I love the perspective in the first shot. Adorable! Thank you for sharing and for linking up with Tones and Tuesday!
