Helpers...

We have had some unusual Jersey weather latetly - well unusual for us over the past 3 years... We have had snow! We had a few inches earlier this week and then it snowed all day today - will likely end up with 4 inches or so... Although a far cry from Wisconsin weather, it provides for some interesting long days :-) Here are a few shots of the kids today...

During naptime, Declan and I played outside - pretty sure it's the first time I have worn my snowpants in 3 years, a bit big, but they did the trick!

And here is what the girls were doing while we were outside - this is an hour into their nap... They did decide to finally fall assleep, but then we had to wake them up at 4 pm! Steve is on the bottom left jumping up and down - you can faintly see Bria (on the right) and Aven (above Stevie) - this is a typcal naptime playtime routine when they aren't too tired :-)

When the girls got up, I decided to let them help me make potato soup... Yet another challenge with having triplets is that if one does something, then they all want to do it. Aven has always had the longest attention span, and best fine motor skills - which makes her great at coloring, cooking, helping, etc. Bria and Stevie on the other hand - not so great at these things - or rather it depends on the day.

As I was chopping, Bria and Aven wanted to know what I was doing...

Aven starting to help... 

More "helping" - I still need to re-organize this drawer...

All the girls join in!

Bria & Stevie...

And earlier this morning Aven and Stevie playing TOGETHER! Amazing... It's really cute lately that Stevie wants to do EVERYTHING that Aven does - Aven takes off her shirt, Stevie does it; Aven puts her brother's shoe on, Stevie puts the other one on; Aven plays with a stroller, Stevie playes with one... It will be interesting to see how long this lasts.

And Stevie looking cute today...
