smile, you're on candid camera!


grainy shot, but it's still cute!

another grainy pic, but it shows her personality!

Well, I tried to upload a video, but alas, it was too large a file and I'm surfing around for something other than dropshots to allow me to upload videos. Any suggestions?

Here's the kicker. We're not sure whodunnit!! Must have been the frogs!

Update: Here is a conversation between my niece and her mom after seeing this picture
Dialogue as follows:

MOM: "Sara, what's in the tub?"
Sara: "Raisins?"
MOM: "Nooo . . ."
Sara: "Frog Cookies?"
MOM: "Noooo. . ."
Sara: "Well, what's in there?"

after telling her what it was. . .

Sara: yuck! Did she see that? Is is still in there? Can I see that picture again, I don't remember what it looked like. . .Who did it?"

how I found sophie this a.m.



Tagged Schmagged

So we got tagged by Melanie over at transparency. Ok, I'll play along.

“Rules”
After posting these rules, each player proceeds to list 8 relatively random facts/habits about himself/herself. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, leaving them a comment on their blogs to let them know.

1. This is my favorite. I got fired from my first job. (It's ok to laugh about it, Mom!!)
2. My husband and I had 3 of the same jobs: paper route, pizza person, and warehouse worker.
3. I love the sound of gravel crunching under shoes.
4. I was certified through the Red Cross as a swimmer when I was in nursery school.
5. 3 more to go after this!! I met my best friend at school 11 years ago. We lost contact after a year, and we just reconnected through the internet last year!!
6. I want to eat at a Moroccan restaurant because I want to eat with my hands. That and the food in Sabrina looked so good!!
7. The first thing I did when I found out I was pregnant with triplets is LAUGH!!
8. I LOVE big cities and would love to live in one!!

I made it! Ok, I'm going to tag tim since only I posted my 8 random facts. I'll also tag these people: nicole t., christina, barbara, amber, jessica b., jessica c., and nicole s. Now I have to go tell them all!!

"We're the Best of Buddies"

Bastian, I'd like to share my crackers with you. "Kay?


Here's a bite for you.

Here's one for me.


And you get the last one!


Except for the dialogue, this is exactly how this exchange happened. Bella wanted to feed Sebastian crackers. It was positively ADORABLE!!!!!!!!! Like I need to tell you that! Just look at the pics ;-)

Word Explosion!

If I don't get these down, I'll forget. New words:

pizza "pisa"
dizzy "di" or "dissy"
froggie "froffie"
love ya "lullya"

**They learned this word because daddy calls twirling around "getting dizzy." So now, if you want the kids to twirl, just ask them, "Sherflets, can you get dizzy?"

Happy Friday from the Sherflets



few new words this week

Fiona "fona or ona" The story is that I bought Sebastian a Shrek and the girls Fiona pez dispensers, sans candy, of course. And they walk around with them, playing with them. Yesterday, Fiona was on the floor in front of the crib Bella was hanging out in (yup, hanging out), and she started saying "ona, ona, ona" over and over again. Now if that's not adorable, I don't know what is!

pretzel is "freffel"
seat is "seat" when Bella wants to get into her highchair


Ugh, there's another one, but I can't remember it. I know there was the "g" sound in it and Bella used "f" instead. Daddy? Remember? You were on the loveseat with her when she said it.........

I met a sweet little girl the other day

and she weighs 4 lbs 5 oz. She reminded me of my little preemies. I know you want to see them now, and I promise that you will. But humor a mom's nostalgia for a day here!! ;-)


He doesn't look it from the angle of the camera, but Sebastian is about 4 lbs 5 oz here.


Bella was born at 4 lbs. 8 oz, so she was a little bigger than the little girl I met. Bella has always had a fuller face, so she never looked as tiny as she was!

Sophie was probably close to that 4lbs 5 oz, too. Though, our little petite one actually did
get her sweet little baby chubs shortly after this!

New-ish words

Here are some words that the kids have been saying for the past 2 weeks or so:

piggies-"pibbies"
bowl-"bow"
spoon-"boo or poo"
poopies-"poopies"
eyes is one they had been saying; i just never blogged it
each other's name:
Sophie says Bella with her tongue out blella (I think I already told you all that)
Sophie says Bastian "deedin"
Bella says Sophie as "Sosie or Sahsie"
Bella says Bastian as "datian"
Bastian says Bella as "bahba"
Bastian says Sophie as "roro"

If I say the name Tim in front of the kids and Daddy's not around, they start saying "Daddy?"

Happy Mother's Day


...a little late!

momma and soph

Twin scary faces. Look at the example I'm creating for her. Yikes.

That's better!!

the play's the thing



Sebastian was trying out for a part in his daddy's play. Sadly, he didn't make it. But the play was a huge success! I mean it would have been better with Sebastian in it .....just sayin'. Nevertheless, it was GREAT!!

Way to go, Daddy!!!

bestest buddies

I wish everyone could see how these 2 (Bella and Sophie) interact. I know, I know, we live in the digital age where I can take video and show everyone how they interact. We'll get to that. Here are some cute things they do:

They bring each other their shoes and blankets and anything else
They will go find the other to give them a kiss or a hug
They go to each other when they're troubled and kind of rest a hand on the other's shoulder
Bella usually wakes up from her nap before Sophie and inevitably looks at me with a questioning look and says, "Sosie?"
Sophie calls Bella "Blella."


the cheese stands alone

Well, that's not entirely true. But the girls definitely have a different bond with each other than with Sebastian. Lately, though, he's been taking care of his sisters by bringing them their blankets or shoes or other things like that. He often calls for "Baba," which is Bella, when she leaves the room.

While the girls give each other spontaneous cheek or lips kisses, Sebastian will occasionally blow his sisters a kiss if he's in the mood!

up close and personal


It was really cute. Today Bella saw Uncle Kenny and she said "Kiki." It wasn't the
first time she called him that. But it definitely confirmed it today.
