The boys have a girlfriend....






and her name is Reese Witherspoon.






We've never been able to bring them in the living room and sit with us during a movie or TV or anything b/c their attention span is impossibly short. They're immediately off trying to push buttons on the TV or jump on the recliners...






Tonight we decided to bring them in the living room while Reese Witherspoon's Sweet Home Alabama was on and the boys were hooked. They must've sat and stared at the movie for 15-20 minutes while she was on : ) We even got away with a little bit later snack-time then normal!






We're going to test the theory again sometime in the future....God-willing (for me) it's not Legally Blonde!






Here are a couple new random pictures....

We had three....what is our carbon footprint?

Just a quick post about an article that I saw about a crazy environmental study. It argues that families with more than 2 kids will create too large of a carbon footprint and therefore should be "capped" at 2!....hmmmm, so what does that mean for our family and other higher-order multiples families?

Having More Than 2 Kids Will Destroy Planet, Environmentalist Says

Sorry, but this just bugged me and I thought I'd share its ridiculousness. I'm not arguing for careless disregard for the environment - actually, the opposite. I'm suggesting that the solution is not "capping" family counts but rather being socially and environmentally conscious as a lifestyle. Us triplet families have to watch out for these types of suggestions : )
