I kept waiting for an evening when Mason would let me put him down for more than 10 minutes to catch up on the blog, but he seems to think that the hours between 7:30 pm and 11 pm are meant for nonstop eating. While it is giving me a chance to catch up on my prime time television (I'm now obsessed with Glee), it isn't that conducive to blogging. So, I finally decided tonight to just do it one handed with my laptop while I feed him. It's slower going, but at least it's getting done!
People have asked me how the adjustment to3 kids has been. It's busy. I think the hardest thing, though, is fitting him into the schedule. It's hard to find time to go to the grocery store when you have to plan around traffic, nursing, and Kindergarten! I'm sure it will get easier as Mason gets on more of a schedule, but for now we're eating lots of Hamburger Helper or other easy stuff and doing Costco runs on Saturday when we don't have to worry about 2 of the 3 factors :).

Jake dressed up as a Mime this year for clinic. No, I wouldn't let him kiss me with all that makeup.
Connor wanted to be a dragon this year, and luckily Old Navy was very accommodating. Ellie on the other hand wanted to be Cinderella. she already had a blue dress from Alex and Lisa's wedding, so I just made the bustle to go over it.
I don't remember where I got this onesie with Connor, but it did make a cute costume paired with a pair of tights I dyed to match!
Almost looks like our little Spidey is climbing the wall. . .
Mason's not too into raindrops on roses or brown paper packages tied up with strings yet, but he does have a few favorite things:
Snuggling. Especially right under your neck.
Bath time
Eating, as evidenced by his lovely thighs. Yes, I love them. Who couldn't?
Having his hands by his face
As of this week, smiling!
The chin quiver. I was only able to catch a mild version of it on camera, but it's lethal.
We had to take advantage of a non-rainy Veteran's day and go outside. It was cold, but worth it to let the kids out!
And we are now caught up. I may have to do more of this one-handed blogging to avoid going another 4 weeks with no post. We'll see.:)

Oh, one-handed posting. It wasn't too long ago that I did that. Motherhood and multi-tasking go hand in hand. Cute pictures!
I love the pic of Connor and Ellie in their costumes, they look so happy!
I so hear you on the 3 kid bit...um Kenzi is 17 months now and we're still adjusting and trying to make it to the store between Kindergarten, naps, etc. Our "normal" is now just flying by the seats of our pants...:)
Oh, and Mason's thighs? I felt like I needed to just reach through the screen to give those a little squeeze!
I love that you post one handed. I constantly am doing the same thing....my blog time comes when I am pumping, so it is still usually one handed!
And Glee....I love that you love it. Also one of my favorite guilty pleasures this year...slightly scandalous at times, but oh so enjoyable! Kyle even gets into it with me!
You are just darling and so is that little Mason...oh, and the other three of you too. Thanks for sacrificing to blog.
Ah the one-handed blog post. Know too much about that one! And I can only imagine how things will be with three...

And Mason and our little bean must be on the same schedule. I've also been feeding non-stop and watching prime time shows like never before.....yup. Even Glee. :)
