A few goings on

Last week was so bad with Grant. He doesn't like change very much and now we are completely in shorts season so all his favorite shorts are not always clean. He just wants to wear his sweat pant shorts and refuses everything else. I spent all week holding him down to dress him and it's not easy to hold down 38lbs of screaming kid while pregnant! He's doing a little better this week. We decided to go with "you wear what mommy picks out or you wear your pj's all day." He's not happy about it, but it's been a bit easier. Reagan also moved up to her new room last week, so we don't know if he's been having problems with that too. I'm hoping it doesn't get worse as we get all the baby stuff out and move it to Reagan's old room...

Next week is Reagan's last week of kindergarten. I'm feeling sad about that. :-(   I can't believe she is going to be a first grader! She's pretty excited about it though.

Next Friday we are leaving for vacation. We are going to Ohio to Michelle's wedding, to Snoopy Land at Kings Island, and the Columbus zoo. The kids are so excited. We are feeling a little exhausted by the thought of it already. :-)  

This baby is such a mover. I don't remember Reagan or Grant ever moving this much. Not only does it move randomly all day long, but from about 8pm-midnight every night it's moving non-stop. I hope it slows down before it gets much bigger or I am going to be very uncomfortable toward the end.

Last weekend we had a big sleepover. Two of Reagan's friends (Julia and Lily) and their sisters (Emily and Sophie) that just happen to be Grant's best friends. Everyone thought we were crazy having three 6-year-olds and three 3-year-olds. I have to say it was loud in our house, very loud, but they were not that bad! We had pizza for dinner, decorated sleepover shirts, played volleyball in the backyard, and took a walk. When we were walking around the neighborhood anyone who was outside stopped to look at us like we were a parade. I guess it's not everyday that you see 6 little kids walking down the street. I don't think I was ever meant to have 6 kids or triplets because I would go insane! :-)   

Everyone slept well. Grant and Sophie talked for about 15-20 minutes, but went right to sleep after that. Reagan came down and got in our bed at 11pm. She had a fever, but by morning she was fine. On Sunday though Grant woke up with a sore throat and Sophie got a sore on her face. After we took them both to the dr we found out that Grant had strep and Sophie had impetigo from strep. Reagan must have had it, but with no symptoms. I guess that's what happens when you get 6 kids together with all their germs. All in all everything we went well and all the kids had a great time. Grant even let Sophie and Emily sleep the whole night in his room even though they got his room messy. We were surprised and so proud of him.
