We have had a lot going on the past few weeks....

I am getting ready for our Mothers of Multiples sale next weekend. I have so much stuff to sell this time that I have taken over about half of our basement to get it all organized and labeled. We are selling all of our baby stuff that Shane doesn't need anymore including a lot of the big things that were just taking up valuable space in our attic. Yipee!

I took the boys on an Easter egg hunt at a local farm this morning with my friend Erin and her 4 kids and my friend Kasey's husband Rick and his twin boys. We took a hayride up to the egg patch where we met the Easter bunny and found eggs. Then we rode back to the barn on the wagon for some candy and balloons. I dressed my boys in matching blue striped shirts. Erin dressed her kids (twin boys + 1 boy + 1 infant girl) in matching plaid outfits. And Rick dressed his boys in solid orange shirts.

We heard a lot of people making comments about our clan as we walked by..."Oh, look at all of those boys" "How cute" or "Wow, are they triplets?". Finally Erin decided that when people asked about our group we should say that Rick is the Dad and he is a polygamist with three wives who all happened to have twin boys. We had to dress each group of kids differently so that he could keep them all straight!

The boys were so dirty when I got home that I made them get cleaned off in the driveway before they came in the house. I filled up a bucket with soapy water and handed each boy a washcloth to get their face, hands, and feet all cleaned up. At the end of it they were all soaking wet, happy and clean.

Potty talk is still in full swing at our house with no sign of slowing down anytime soon. Everything smells like "stinker poopies". Everything tastes like "stinker poopies". Everything looks like "stinker poopies". I assumed that by week 3 of potty talk we would have moved on to more advanced poop vocabulary, but the word "poop" can still elicit hysterical laughter when inserted into any sentanance. For example, "Mom, is it almost time to poop to school?" (uncontrollable laughter). "Are we going to ride in the poop?" (fall on the floor laughter?). "I see a poop car." (peeing in pants laughing).

I keep telling the boys "No more potty talk"! Then the other day I heard Wyatt tell Sam and Jonah "Boys, no bathroom words".

It was almost 90 degrees here today. Our house is so hot upstairs that we had to turn on the air conditioning to get the temperature below 80 degrees inside! Every year it seems like we have to turn on our air conditioning earlier and earlier, but this year may be a Rodgers Family record!
