Things I Felt Like Taking Pictures of This Week

I know my little boy loves me...

Power Ranger in action

I looked out the window and what did I see?
Popcorn popping on the apricot tree.
Spring has brought me such a nice surprise:
Popcorn popping right before my eyes.
I can take an armful and make a treat,
A popcorn ball that would smell so sweet.
It wasn't really so, but it seemed to me
Popcorn popping on the apricot tree.

Chillin'

Fun with static

I guess I want to start off by saying that not only am I recovering very well, this week was actually quite wonderful. My blessed sister Sharley came into town to help me during the first postpartum week (you know, where everything you do takes 10 times longer to do). I feel great, actually, and have been able to get some good sleep during the day to counteract the interrupted sleep during the night. A HUGE thanks to Sharley for taking such good care of me and my kids! You are an angel!

Sadly, that time came to an end about an hour ago when we took Sharley to the airport. Surprisingly, we can fit all three carseats if we have to! But we are getting a van in a couple weeks, thank goodness!

So, now, I have survived my first hour of having three kids all by myself, and a moment or two of chaos. I began wondering, other than lots of planning and patience (and occasionally just letting one or two kids cry), do you have any advice for a mom with three kids and two hands?
