Asleep at the Plate

I haven’t been blogging this week because things at our place are pretty crazy right now. Crazy good, though. Not really crazy bad. Hubby’s parents (aka “Grandma and Grandpa”) sold their home in NY and have moved in with us while the new and still under-construction (gorgeous!) house they just purchased here is being completed. Yeah. We’re talking 1600 square feet of togetherness. With triplets. Let’s just say it’s “intestring” as per Split Pea.

And because none of us has really gotten into the swing of how this all impacts routine around here (and we’re BIG on routine here), we’re all pretty exhausted. Grown-ups included! Grandma and Grandpa had an all-day car trip followed by a whirlwind tour of homes followed by an all-day negotiation for the chosen home. And they’ve only been here 6 days! And well…obviously there are 3 little ones who are EXCITED as all get-out that another set of  spoilers are on site.

We’ll settle into things eventually. I don’t think the kidlets understand that Grandma and Grandpa are here to stay this time. They seem to be trying to cram in as much fun as possible each day! Not that Grandma and Grandpa are minding the adventure…they don’t seem to be able to wipe the grins (or the constant peapod squad kisses) off their faces!

Take a look at Split Pea during dinner time.

This (all my kids took after me in that they twirl their hair when they’re tired…though I’ve never used a fork):

quickly became this (he’s “resting” while his brother eats):

and then this (audible snoring and drooling)…
