We finally had nice enough weather to take the triplets outside on Friday. It was almost 70. Anyway - I am now wondering how the hell am I going to do this - because outside requires??? Anybody??? Yea - you guessed it - Shoes! This is something we have never done before - worn shoes!!! Well, fortunately for the team we have a bucket of many shoes. And I have to chuckle because I actually found a pair to fit everyone. But - not sure how this is going to go down. It is like putting shoes on cats! Crap. And to do it by myself? I should have just checked into the psychiatric ward down town! Much easier!
30 minutes later - we all have shoes on - and away we go.
Crap - no one can walk yet - and I am not putting them down to crawl! Hand slap to forehead. Duh! What Would Any Other Mother Do? Their walkers, of course!!! Some days my brain cells are just out of control! (for the life of me, I can totally figure why).
So - insert each child in walker, line them up at the back door and begin. Mary first. Pia second. Samuel third. (this is just how they lined up). Mary began to scream - Pia joined in and Samuel decided that leaves were cool. I am not talking about a little bit of crying. Pia and Mary are screaming so loud that I am sure to have violated the city ordinance code for volume control. So now I am frantically looking around the back yard in hopes that no neighbors are out for fear that the screaming is so volatile that they call child services and WHAM - the authorities visit!!!! I calmly (ha! calmly) pull everyone out of the leaves and begin the Banana ritual. And we all know how much they love this ritual. Well whoopdiddlydo - they all calm down. Phew. (again child services has been averted). (kidding!)
After the banana is over - the girls are not moving - they are totally freaked out by being outside. Glued to the spot in which they were settled. But have no fear - Samuel is here! The dude about wore me out. In the grass - down the walk - in the rocks - in the leaves - back in the grass - holy shit catch him he is running into the driveway - Damnit - okay - time to go in. (cough - cough - DAD - gate project status?)
So, now we are all back inside and I begin to laugh uncontrollably. Do you all know Gonzo from the Muppet show? (insert picture).....

And now, for your viewing pleasure - I introduce to you Mary "Gonzo" Aframian:
(along with her siblings, of course) Enjoy!!
Now I know you must be thinking that maybe I have totally flipped my lid? But DANG - poor thing. The strangeness of the shoes, the drama from the leaves and being outside! I just could not pass it up. I never thought Gonzo the Great would wave his magic on our house! It is so nice that she loves me unconditionally :)
Off to enjoy Purim! More later!
Lots of Love.
Zoltan OUT!
