Monday...Monday...
Well, it's been a very eventful weekend! We're all wore out and it's back to work all over again. Really, I think we should band together and demand Monday's off! For those of you counting down with me we have about 35 days left until we meet little Andrew...can you believe it?
Here's a few pictures from the wedding this weekend......the kids were so cute!

Hi Everyone, I wish I were posting Halloween pics...Sorry, don't have any this year. Friday night was crazy for us and by the time we could actually put the kids in costumes we were so wore out. We felt terrible, we love dressing them up for stuff like that...but sometimes you just have to go with what works.
Now, really who is this excited about getting up in the morning. I'll have to save this picture and show them when they're teenagers telling us they want to sleep!
This morning was such a better morning that we had time to take a picture before school. Notice, Hollise wants to pose for me and she wants them to line up with her like a cheerleader and smile. Houston wants to take a picture, but really...does he always have to take a picture with the girls. Hannah was in the middle of jumping up and down so that I would have something to take a picture of. She wouldn't want to waste a picture on just a smile...she needs some action.
***I had a great lunch today..thanks to Rita, Tennille, Nicole and little Mr. Luke. I wish I would have gotten a sweet tea to go! Being back to work with a bottle of water is no comparison!

So...How was your morning....
WOW has it been a morning at our house...evening, morning, a bit of both!
11:30 p.m. apparently the monitor no longer works, I wake up hearing a child
coughing,crying, almost gagging she sounds so upset.
11:45 p.m. Alan is sound asleep and not paying attention to me yelling..get up the kids are awake! :) I go in their room and Hannah looks as though she's been crying for an hour and we just haven't heard her. Houston sits up in bed and is so excited to see me...I guess he thought it was time to get up. So, instead of arguing and trying to get everyone back to sleep..without waking up Hollise..I decide to pick up both kids and take them to our bed, the big NO,NO! Yes, 30 wks pregnant and picking up two kids at midnight...what fun!
4:30 a.m. Hollise wakes up, Alan fixed the monitor before we had gone back to sleep earlier. I'm sure he didn't like all the noise we were making and woke up to fix the monitor..thank goodness, glad he did. He woke up and got Hollise, she also was wide awake and ready to play. Alan sat up with her in bed watching news, cartoons, just whatever to pass the time.
5:11 a.m. I get up because Houston has decided nobody needs to sleep anymore! He and I put a load of laundry in to wash. I get his breakfast ready, drink, and Alan comes in with Hollise so that I can shower. Meanwhile...Hannah is out cold!
5:59 a.m. It's time everyone wake up Hannah, I'm drying my hair. All of a sudden I hear Alan make this crazy noise, but I thought it was just him playing around with Hannah. Next thing I know Alan is coming down the hall telling me his eye is hurting. He sits down, I get the kids under control and find out that when Hannah reached for her Daddy to pick her up she stuck one of her fingers in his eye. Not just a little poke, Alan says her entire finger went into his eye!
6:15 a.m. Hannah gets her breakfast, others get dressed, Alan makes his lunch, I'm getting my clothes on. I discover the hamburger meat I laid out last night was nowhere to be found. I was going to brown my meat this morning and put everything in the crock pot for chili tonight..I was so excited about this too! Well, Alan helped me so much in the kitchen last night that he put the meat up and it was still frozen :( I laid itback out to cook it later on :( He meant well
6:30 Hannah's getting dressed. Her shirt looked as though it shrunk overnight..maybe she grew. Poor Alan was trying to get her dressed with one eye, although I offered to dress her, and there was no way I was going to tell him to start over and put her in something else! I picked my battle and decided to wait and change her when he left.
6:50 I get dressed, all but my actual shirt I was wearing to work... learned about putting on my work shirt last the hard way!! Alan tells everyone bye and heads to work... he was hurting and just had to get out...I don't blame him.
7:00 Hollise still didn't have her clothes on bc her pants were in the dryer. So, I get her clothes out, get Hannah's new clothes to put on, and get Houston to clean his up to head out the door. I change his diaper, wipe his face, put his jacket on and give him his toothbrush.
7:10 I do the same for Hollise, but also put on her clothes.
7:14 I again go through the routine the third time and change Hannah's clothes.
7:20 Run and put my shirt on, grab my lunch, take my vitamins...a few "no, Houston don't" and I crank the truck and put everything I need to take to daycare in.
7:25 I start loading everyone up
7:34 We can actually leave today!, thank goodness...it was a hard morning!! I didn't mention all the times we actually had to change diapers this morning, the actual 2 loads of clothes I washed, Alan unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, we cleaned up from breakfast...kind of, cereal is probably still on the counter, lol...and many other things!
8:00 I'm finally at work and Alan is telling me how much pain he is in. I get him in to see our eye dr. After looking at his eye under a light they can see Hannah actually stuck 2 fingers in his eye. He has a band-aid sort of thing over his eyeball and she gave him some drops to try and numb it for him. She did say working around dirt like he does will probably irritate it, but he thinks he'll be fine with his sunglasses on.
9:20 Telling you all about this fabulous morning and having a really good fountain Coke...thanks to my coworker Shelley :)
*I hope you all slept well! :)
**My birthday is next Wednesday, lol...no pressure

Well, it's been an uneventful weekend. But I had to post this about Houston.....once he started picking things up off the ground/floor I started saying,"shew, dirty" and he would throw it down or away. He has a book about dump trucks, loaders, etc and one page it has a picture of a truck and below it says "Clean Digger", the right has another picture and below it says "Dirty Digger". When reading i say the sentence or words on the page and Houston repeats me before moving on. Yesterday I showed him a picture and he said, "Clean Digger", I showed him the other picture and I said..."DIRTY Digger", Houston said, "Shew Digger"....lol
He's too cute! But he listens to his Mommy

Just a little update...nothing going on...
Well...goodbye to Myspace!! Between all the things you can do online these days I'm only going to keep up with one. I thought the new blog site would be the best way for us to share things going on with our family. On Myspace you never know whose pages are private and what they're sharing about your family with others, pictures, information, and it's no big deal but I would rather have things out on the World Wide Web that Alan and I put out here and don't mind sharing with everyone. I guess what's out there that we don't know about won't really hurt us...I would just rather it not be out there unless it's from us. You just never know...and these days I think you have to be careful about putting your children and your families pictures/lives online. So that's that...this is now the best way to check out what's going on with Alan, Michelle, Hannah, Hollise, Houston, and little Andrew.
On to other things...I'm now 29 weeks pregnant with Andrew and man does he take advantage of all this space he has. Last night I told Alan that I know good and well he could ball up and give me a little breathing room every now and then...he should have lots of room to move around! Last pregnancy I really didn't always understand the extent of how important it was for me to rest, relax, and just let the babies grow. I just don't know how I did it...we all did it. It really took so many to keep things going while I was on bed rest. Our doctors (Locke, Furniss, and Pearson) were just amazing. They were encouraging, they gave me good information, and always prepared me for "the next two weeks or week" depending on where I was within the pregnancy. I just appreciate everyone so much more through this pregnancy and I truly know what wonderful hands were in with the team at the Starkville Women's Clinic. I know Andrew will be in wonderful hands with Dr. Ruff and I'm sure he'll be telling me to relax by February when I'm bringing Andrew in for a simple cold, lol.
Oh....the kids are selling cookie dough for new playground equipment. It's $14 for a huge tub of cookie dough and there's all different kinds to choose from. They're trying to raise money for new playground equipment at their daycare. I'm also getting together a bake sale sometime in November to raise money for the equipment. The cookie dough sale gives $5.75 of every order to the school and that's wonderful, but 100% of our bake sale profits will go to the equipment. I'll know more after our meeting today at lunch. If you want to order cookie dough, send me an email to tehantriplets@yahoo.com
Love you all...have a good day
