I think not laughing at some of the hilariously awful/gross/wrong things kids do is one of the toughest parts of parenting. Case in point, today, Toby and Eleanor learned the comedic value of showing off chewed-up food. What did I do? Laugh and record the hilarity, of course.
I’ll work on manners next time they do it. Promise.

Boo ya! I was 4 books behind, but I've rallied! Onto book No. 30! #ABeautifulMess #amreading
Because I'm a total lightweight & don't parent while even slightly drunk, & because I finally found plain sparkling water (not club soda) - fizzy, no-rum mojito water FTW!

OBNOXIOUS. I doubt this is relevant to Gone Girl's story, so why the conception distinction? Do you ever see an IVF-mention for the random next-door singleton baby? (If it is relevant, I'll apologize for my rant.)
Keep your britches on, & try to refrain from telling me how much you loved or hated this book. I waited this long to read it because I didn't want to be swayed by ALL the hype. (Book No. 29 of 2013) #ABeautifulMess #amreading
Cleaning up the dinner mess while my brain visits Hogwarts. If I can't have a new book in my hands, I'm listening to an already-read book on audio. #amreading ⚡
Pizza sauce today. I dropped the messy ladle carrying it in from the grill. Will I ever learn? Probably not.
The summer sun is going to give me 3 tow heads.

I'll start book No. 28 of 2013 as soon as I'm done dicking around with #ABeautifulMess.
These guys are so at home on a farm. I love it. ☺
I think my basket was filled with strawberries minus 1 bite each. #triplets
Baby Pygmy goat minutes after being born! (Some sort of afterbirth was still hanging around, so ... avoid that area if you're squeamish.)
Looooove my library!
Don't be like me & miss out on this book for too long. WOW! (No real-book pic because I bought the Nook book. In fact, Nook/Kindle/etc. versions are still a steal at $3.99. Buy it!)
HOPELESS by Colleen Hoover - these characters & their humor have made me laugh out loud several times, & I'm not even halfway through! #YAlit #amreading
I really should wear an apron when I cook. ☺
Eleanor Explains It All (or why she sent Callista to time out) on my blog. Link in my profile!
Eleanor just sent Callista to time out. C was throwing a fit on the floor, so E decided she needed a TO, & C obliged. #triplets
Luxury.
I love love love hearing them laugh! And Calista in the hat? So cute!!
laughing at those comedic moments are the moments you will all remember, manners are over rated
How could anyone resist filming that much fun!!those giggles r priceless. So is Callista’s hat collection.
That? Was the best part of my day today. LOVE the giggles.
