that room IS awesome. and yes, even though i know it sucks to be the one left behind, you can do it. when its my turn to handle three little dudes...heaven help us all my friend. hopefully, i'll be a millionare by then and i'll hire you to fly out decorate for me. love ya
It's always hard to watch help walk out the door but I am usually ready to embrace it. Good Luck! 3 is........rough but it's really hard for me to judge just how hard (since I had just moved two weeks before had and forced to start a completely new life :)....I'm not bitter...really). Case is a cute boy. He looks a bit like the others with a flair of his own. Hang in there.
Maybe I should look into doing a virtual aerobics class on the internet (if there is such a thing). That way y'all can tune in and work out with me in your living room. Ha Ha....wouldn't that be fun?
You will do fine Rissy, and we all have confidence in you. Keep the cell phone handy if the three happen to catch you snoozing and tie you up. Call us and we'll call in the troops to rescue you. Of course that means Cole would have left the phone alone and not programmed it to beam something down. What a crew!! Also, Thundercats HO to Spencer for being the MAN!
Good luck. I was in your shoes just a few months ago, trying to figure out how to take care of three boys including a newborn. I am still busy, but life seems a lot better now. My advice is to try to get as much rest as you can.
Well, you definitely have your hands full and I can only imagine what your grocery bill will be when they are teenagers... YIKES!!
It was great chatting with you on facebook... you will do great with the new one like you have with the other two... you are a great Mom... lots of XOXO's for all of you...
Hey so nice running into you. Looks like we are in the same boat as far as mothering three little men. So how old is your newest prince. It looks as though he was just born. I know having your thrid really doens change and throw yourself for a loop. just hold on and enjoy the ride it will get easier as you draw nearer to his first birthday. My boys are 4,2,and 1. I had my second and and 2 months later found out i was prego with our third. yikes I know. My second turned 1 years old and within a a week and a half my third arrived. Let me tell you i never thoguht in my wildest dreams i would survive this past year. and now here i am full of life better and stronger as a mother and love my three sons. The trick I learned pretty quick is to relax and not sweet the small stuff. My motto for the past year was as long as the light sockets were covered I could care less what the older boys were doing. LOL nice seeing you on your blog. we'll be in touch.
Hey Larissa, Glad to finally stumble into you! Looks like your family is growing. Congrats on baby 3. Hope all is well in Ohio! Email me, and I can invite you to my blog. darcyhughes@sbcglobal.net

All my day help is officially gone...sigh...wah...wah. Thanks to my mom for the first phase of help...Jack is still upset you went home. Thanks to Richelle who took over when my mom left. They both played, entertained, nanny-ed, fetched, cleaned, and corralled. I am not sure what I would have done without you guys here.
Case's room got done thanks to my mom:

Easter eggs got done thanks to Richelle:

Obviously many other things got done thanks to the super women. SO thanks again!
Now on to this new phase in my life...I know I can do it. Stay tuned for how I project out my crazies and continue to grow accustomed to this wonderful new stage of mommyhood.
Probably should add this little PS: Nothing would be copeable (I know not a real word) without my live in help that hot hubby of mine. He helped out too!
