Ah, Summer.
It truly is one of the best times of the year.
Long days to play outside.
Bugs and Frogs to catch.
Warm weather to enjoy a swim.

What's not to like?
Well, two summers ago I was really, really anxious.
I could not wait for it to begin.
The reason?
On this day two years ago, Quinn, Jacob and Claire were born.
I was admitted to the hospital at 9am for an 11am c-section.
From that admission I wanted three things.
First, I wanted my epidural to take away all the aches and pains from the hugeness that was my triplet pregnancy.
Second, I wanted a catheter placed in my bladder so that I would not have to muster the strength to get up and pee every 7 minutes.
Lastly and most importantly, I wanted to hear the cries of three babies. I knew that if I heard them cry everything would be alright.
And at 12:15pm, I got my wish when Quinn was born.
At 12:16, I got my wish again when Jacob was born and at 12:17pm my wish came true once again when Claire came into the world.
Every one cried their eyes out including me.
Life was good but the adventure was just beginning.
So in honor of Quinn, Jake and Claire's second birthday and me surviving two years of triplets.
I am going to be hosting a Summer Fun Give Away.
I am giving away a Happy Animal Play Center.
This little pool promises hours and hours of summer fun and entertainment for the kids. And maybe if you're lucky, a blog post or two (wink, wink).
Now that the kids are entertained, Mommy needs a little fun. If I could, I would ship some Margaritas your way but I don't think that they would hold up in the mail. So instead, my gift for the Mommy (or Daddy) is a $25 gift card to Target.
Love, Target!
So how do you enter this lovely give away?
