1 in 600 Million

That is the odds to have Identical Triplets!
Wish this couple tons of lusk and Rest.
Do you know how much work that will be? And to try and keep them apart! I would definatly do the whole fingernail polish thing as well. I think the septuplets did that as well. But they weren't even I dentical. (just all bald) LOL!!
Just thought I would pass this link along.
Gotta get ready as I have 2 sessions today, 1 tomorrow and 3 Friday!
No time to waist!

Mammmmaa!

Yup-That's me. Many of you know I run a Full time Photography business (6-10 sessions a week and 35-40 hours), As well as watch a friend of mine's children once in a while. I also volunteer for an organization that takes images for deathly ill and children in heaven. I am active in my children's school activities as well as girl scouts and helping with quite a few church activities. So finding time for me, is well, Impossible. So tonight after a session, The kids are upstairs getting ready for bed so I think I can sit for 2 whole minutes without a "Mamma" being yelled.
So I make me a cup of tea and head for the front room. "Mamma,-I can't find my Pull-up" Yells Savana. SO I help her.
Come back down stairs and grab my cup. Head for the front room, grab the remote and plop my bottom onto the couch. "Mamma" Where's my pink shirt?" Closet Abby..... I tell her. (she picks out her clothes the night before so I can inspect and make changes by morning. It works easier that way)
So I settle back onto the couch and turn the tv on. By now my tea is cold. Turn the TV on and hear "Mamma, She hit me." so I say forget it, turn the tv off and head upstairs. gathered all 3 girls up on 1 single twin size bed and we read 3 books. Each 1 gets to pick a book for me, and Yes-They pick the longest they can find. "read mine first, no mine, No mine, I'm oldest. I'm Youngest" "Mamma, I said it first" So I pick a number between 1 and 10. Read the books in order, and tuck them all into bed. Give each one 2 kisses and 3 hugs and go back and give Abby an extra. "mamma, Mine wear off quicker so I need more" She says. "Mamma' I need water, I gotta go potty" "Momma I am hot" 11 Mamma's Later and they are all ready for bed. I say I love you and goodnight and shut off the light. Head down to heat up my tea and head for the living room. Plop my bottom down on the couch and reach for the remote. "Mamma???"

Well I guess it will be just like any other night on this year
No tv for Mamma!
but I love every minute of it!

Cleaning Cleaning!

So this weekend was SHOT!
Friday was to be digging day in the basement to fix the broken line but that turned up to be a dead end. So the plumbers come back out and dig to find the broken pipe. It is on the outside of the basement wall. My poor Dh did all that work and it was OUTside and underneath the basement wall. He was soo close to finding it himself. So they are comingback Monday to dig the outside of the house to get to it. That will be a huge muddy mess! Saturday was to finish up repairs and clean up. Well-since it couldn't be fixed by them we couldn't clean up. So we went shopping and to a Birthday party instead! So Sunday which was to be "patching the floor" day was spent cleaning outside. It wa a beautiful day!! 75 degrees and just a faint breeze. So we opened all the windows and aired out the house. Cleaned off the back porch (needed it BADLY) and the garage (needed it just as bad)
Adam figured out what we are going to re-decorate the living room in. I like it. he has good taste so I trust him. I just don't want to get new furniture in there yet as it will be a huge stress over it. I mean, I want them to keep it clean, But if Savana falls alseep on the couch and drools, or puts her feet on itbecause her legs are too short to go over the edge I don't want a melt-down. If I had it my way I would keep what I have for 1 more year. My youngest will be 4 soon and accidents will happen less. But I do see his point. So I guess we will most likely go furniture hunting soon for the front room. Dining room set and rug should be here within the next 2 weeks. I can't wait. I am so excited. The hutch and buffett match so it will look really good I am sure! I just need to visit Paris so I can take some pictues to match! (Hint Hint Honey) I will prob. Settle for Disneyland and Idaho this year so maybe next! LOL!

Water anyone?

So I get up this morning and smell something..... Weird... What is that smell? Must be the garbage. Better take that out when I get back from taking the kids to school. It was a "woke up late, Clothes in washer, milks gone bad, can't find my keys, Out the door gotta run" type of morning! So I head out and WHAM-Hits me in the face-Sewage. Yep the basement backed up. Flooded my basement. Well the North side of it anyway. So I have been on the phone with the clean up crew all day! Plumbers, insurance blah blah blah. Well at least I will get a good cleaning out of the deal. What was a little dusty will be SPOTLESS now! I am just glad I didn't have more stuff in that area. What I did have over there was mostly in rubbermaid totes! Gotta love plastic at times like this. Especially the one with the photos of the girls from day 1! So I am getting off here and heading back down stairs to finish cleaning. Wish me luck!!!

This weekend

So this weekend we are going to try to accomplish the Hallway! Gonna get r done! I hope-anyway! Adam should be here around dinner and we will get started. I will post some pictures when I am thru. (That is IF we get done) LOL
~~This week flew by. I have been swamped with work. Spent today doing a final cleaning on the studio. Dusting, Sweeping and now vacuuming. Then monday I will start putting it together. Which means moving all my props, equipment, backdrops, Blah blah. I am excited though. I have ordered 6 2" Canvas's for the walls. I can't wait to see what they look like vs. the styrene foam portraits that I had on the walls before. These will look alot better. They are large too! 16x20 and 2 are 16x24. They will take up some blank space. That's for sure! Well I better get off the computer and into the shower if I am going to acomplish anyting today!

I made it!

Well I tried to leave last night and the weather was terrible. I didn't think it was going to be so bad until I was 45 minutes into it, So I turned her around and went back to the house. Figured I would just leave in the morning. I don't like driving at night anyway. And to top it off I felt terrible. I have been sick since Saturday night and can't seem to shake it! I felt bad as I didn't feel much like associating with everyone at the party Sunday, But what's there to do?? So I finalyl made it home today about 9ish. Good thing there was no school today! I better get going and make like I work here! Lots to do!
Ta ta!
