OMG. Next time I think about having three kids, remind me of this post.

My friend's little boy is here.  Law's "bess frennnn."

They're being pretty good but OH, THE NOISE.

And the RUNNING.

And the TOY STEALING.

One more in the mix makes a biiiiiiiig difference.

Yeah, every once in a while my clock gives a tick because of all the 3rd babies on here.

Then I regain my sanity.

I always said 3 was like a 3 ring circus lol but seriously it gets better.

Gee, thanks, Jess ;-)

No, really, I totally get what you're saying.  I am hoping, however, that the 3.5 yr difference between the baby and Kyle and the over 5 yr difference between the baby and Eric will help keep the chaos a *little* bit in check.  I know it will be crazy, but 2 under 2 almost killed me, so it can't get any worse.  Right?!?!?

Sorry, Anne.  We'll still have three, I'm sure.  It just may be longer than we originally thought.

I get a reminder a few times a week because we have playdates here often (like right now) of why I am good with two. The kids friends are great kiddos and I love having them over but 3 is definitely crazier..especially with 2 girls and a boy or 2 boys and a girl. Drama!

I am constantly reminding MYSELF of this when I get sad that my 7 m/o isn't going to be a baby anymore soon...as much as I yearn to keep them babies, I have 3....4 1/2, 21 mos & 7 mos & it is pretty crazy.....It will be alot easier (I hope) this fall when my son is in kindergarten full time, all day.....will give me & the girls a little bit of freedom during the day to up & go a little easier...looking forward to it.

3 is kicking my ass!  But had I waited one more year (ha ha like I planned this spacing) it would have been much easier!  I don't suggest 3 ~2yrs apart!

OMG..I know I'm only three days in, but I cannot even begin to describe the craziness around here the last few days.

I'm considering having a couple of shots tonight. For real.

My neighbors have three school aged kids.  They all come over...the whole entire pride...and man the noise level is almost unbearable!  This coming from an only child...a quiet one at that!

One of my friends has 5 kids, all 2 years apart. 8, 6, 4, 2, and infant. I think his wife must have a ton more patience than I do.

When we get together with my brother and his 3 kids, I'm always thankful when I leave that I only have 1 and her personality is so much more laid back than my nieces'.

We've got 4 kids & our house is not loud and not like a circus at all!  On any given day, our house is actually pretty calm. Sure we have our moments, but for the most part, it's great!  And they are only "little" for a short while.  I am hoping we can have a 5th because I love it so much!
