Random fun

These didn't each need a separate blog post, so I'm going to combine several fun events into one post. The beginning of February created opportunities for good times for us - time with friends, dressing up and play dates.

On the third of Feb., we had a play date with some of our couple best friends (parents) and the boys's future wives, Caroline and Ava Lane. These kids had a great time playing together and they all get along. The adults could relax and let the kids play together in the playroom so that we could have some adult conversation with relatively few interruptions. What a win-win! I love doing life with these families.

By the way, did you know that getting triplets to look and smile for a picture is very, very difficult? Yes, I know that I've mentioned it at least 100 times on this blog. What's even harder? Getting FIVE kids to all look and smile. LOL

#compoundkids (long story!)

Ryan had real life cowboys from the PBR (Professional Bull Riding) visit his school while they were in town for a show. Due to the special visit, it was "dress like a cowboy day" at his school and we happily obliged. I think we had like 2 days notice so I was really glad that we already had stuff on hand that he could wear!

There are some twins at the boys's school - Marcos and Mateo (the boys call him Matato...like potato LOL!!!) - that are so adorable and we just love them. One day they were leaving at the same time that we were leaving from school and they hopped right in the car with us. These boys all had a little impromptu car play date and they were so cute and having so much fun, we just went with it for a while. They were climbing all over the place - to the front, to the back, getting buckled and unbuckled in multiple car seats - having a ball! Mateo actually kept saying that they were going to close the doors and that Carrie (their nanny) and I couldn't come in. Hilarious. They told me that I needed to take pictures of them playing. It actually took a little bribery to get them out when it was really time to leave! Haha! Note: the car was parked and keys were in my possession during this play time. No children or minivans were harmed in the making of this fun. ;)

Good times with friends is always the great choice for ways to spend your time.
