caught up?

So... I think we are fairly caught up... the trio continue to amaze me with their creativity, their concept for learning (both things I don't want them to learn and things I do...) and their love of their little sister, Abby. (Nicknamed "gator" by cousin's Thomas & Joe)

Now if only they would sleep......

Easter 2010

can we go back?

It sure is a hard concept for three year olds to understand the difference between staying 1 night in a hotel, a week at the "beach house" and then coming back home. Luckily, Gabby was able to explain it to her siblings en route on they way back.... "we are going home to our "trundle" beds.... but Mom, when can we go back to our beach house?"

Jax Joe's Crab Shak

The trio fell in love with Joe's Crab Shack when we were in Jax... the servers "dance" to fun, loud music during the dinner and provide so much entertainment that even 3, 3 year olds can be still!

we enjoyed dinner with our friends, David & Hannah (thank you, Tim & Christy!)

Jax Hands-on Museum

On one of the few rainy/cold/windy days in Jax, we went to the Children's "hands on" museum... a very cool place that takes grown-up activities (i.e. grocery shopping, banking, post office, diner, etc.) and minimizes it so that the kids can do it!

Jacksonville Zoo

During our vaca to Jax... we were able to go to the zoo with some good friends! There was more than enough to see (and do) there!

biggest sandbox EVER!!

Suffice to say that the trio LOVED the fact that we had a huge sandbox within our grasp during our vacation to Jacksonville, FL. Ahh.... the sound of the ocean and all the sand and shells to play with.

how many???

how many garcia's can you cram into a box??? yep...whenever the three can be together...they will make it fit.

(and yes... I am sure you are noticing what I like to call the "chaos" in the background)

exhausted

I promise to update the blog this week.... with pics of the kids and our vacation down to FL....

just a little bit exhausted from packing, traveling, and returning back home....
(and if you don't believe me, you can ask the dentist that pointed out to me this morning that my shirt was not only on backwards, but inside out!) sigh....
