Haydenisms
Hayden has learned some new words and ideas. He has been using them in every day conversation. Sometimes correctly, other times not. Each one made me stop and laugh. I never know what is going to come out of that kid next.
"Mom, can you get me some more chocolate milk? I am thirsty because my penis is running out of pee."
"I can't go in there. It is so expensive."
"I don't want to go to Nonna's house. It is just ridiculous there."

I love your family and your blog. Your stories always make me laugh out loud. I know that if you can do this triplet thing than so can I.

Diana- You are new to the blog world but you are great at it. You are my kindred spirit. Fellow nurse, fellow mom and so much more than just a cousin-in-law. I know that you LOVE kids. You always make me smile, especially you VBS post.

NVMarshalls- I love you all so dearly. I wish that you did not live so far away. I am so glad that you started blogging (although, I do with that you did it a little more often). I just love that fact that one of you is so off the wall on the other is so on the wall. You both crack me up and I love watching you as parents, even if it is through the writing of a blog and the phone.

Cristin- You are one of my new bloggy friends. I am so glad that we met. I just adore your blog, your humor and your out look of life. You are an inspiration to me and keep be falling off my seat in laughter.

Rhea- You are just so darn supportive. It is AWESOME! You were one of my first new bloggy friends. You show me what I have to look forward to when my boys get older. You have such an interesting view on life and I love reading about it.

That wraps up this Post-pourri. I am going to try and tackle my mountains of laundry or maybe I will just bask in the silence of nap time and enjoy a free moment or two to myself.
