Marek goes to school

Who would have thought that my youngest baby (by 30 seconds...lol) would be the first to go to school. It's crazy that i bought him a backpack that is practically as big as he is, and that i packed him a snack in a brand new lunch box. Plus all this craziness happens on his third birthday. Due to Marek's autism, he is delayed in speech, fine motor skills, and social behavior. Hopefully preschool will be just what he needs. The downside is that preschool is only in session for less than three weeks then the school year is over, but i thought this might be a good starter for him so that come fall it won't be so overwhelming. The elementary school can be seen from our house so after a few precious photos, i walked the kids to school.

 

Landon isn't happy because Addy is a bully. ha ha

 

My sweet babies new school.

 

Lets walk to class.

Such a big boy. Since it technically is Marek's birthday i decided to make his class rice krispie treats and little gift bags. You can't have a birthday and not have a class party right? The teacher later told me that the class was so happy to have the treats and gifts. How precious they are.

Adalynn bawled when we left because she wanted to stay at school. I decided to take the them instead to have a birthday lunch at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants.

 

Landon's favorite was definitely his own ice cream cone. Score one for mom!

 

When i picked Marek up from preschool, i found out he had slept through most of it. WHAT! That little toot never takes a nap unless we are in the car. I did remember later that he had woken up at 5 am that morning which is not normal for him. He usually is the latest sleeper. After a brought him home, he slept for another two hours. I don't thick he has had a nap that long in months. He woke up early again today so hopefully he can stay awake today.

we are three

Happy birthday my beautiful babies.

 

3rd birthday!!! Lets party!

 

 

 

The morning of the triplet's birthday I had tons to do. All the cleaning, setting up, decorating, cooking, did I say cleaning, but for the triplets  morning started out the same way it always does-cereal in Mommy's bed!

 

 

Outside we posted our home-made sign.

 

 

 Back yard also sported a home-made sign.

 

 

My mom and i made bunting. Should be charging more than 5 cents for photos though. These babies are expensive.

 

 

Best group shot i could get.

We set up tables outside for the guests.

 

The kids played on the bounce house, swing set, play house, and all the multitude of other toys available to them.

 

The awesome cake my friend Amy made. We just did a bright neon color theme this year since it is hard to find one thing that they are all into. But candy is definitely something they can all agree on.

 

My best friends Amy and Amber.

 

Well my poor Marek didn't make it far into the party before he crashed. No nap today did him in. But my other two are good supporters and decided to nap with Marek at dinner time. So glad they have his back. haha!

Well Landon's nap didn't last long.

 

Lets eat cake.

Momma and Daddy are sweaty and tired. What a LONG day, but we definitely had a great time.

 

Yummy cake.

This was the best party yet for the babies. They all had so much fun, and received some wonderful gifts. Thanks to everyone who came, and i am really glad we had an evening party this year instead of a day party. The past birthdays have been super hot and miserable, but this year was considerably nicer. Plus i know the kids really enjoyed the lights strung up in the backyard.
