What a bunch of monkeys!

Gone are the days of the perfectly posed pictures!


Eric and the girls have been fishing this weekend so the boys and I made our own fun. Yesterday we went to the zoo with some friends. My friend Amy hadn't been out and about in a large public place with us and our large stroller in a while and enjoyed all the crazy comments we get. You just learn to not make eye contact with anyone and respond to the comments you want and just pretend you don't hear the rest.

My favorite (not really!) was a woman who said "Oh, do you have triplets?"
"Yes" I said as politely as possible.
"Well, I guess you (looking at Amy) were the lucky one. You just got 1".
To that I couldn't help but reply "No, she was terribly unlucky, she really should have had 3!"
I wish I could have thought of a better comeback.
Sometimes I wonder why people even open their mouths!

We did have a great day and it was kind of fun to only have 3 kids to hang out with.

You could tell her you just borrowed two so you could fill the stroller!
It would not have been nearly as rude as her and alot more fun.

Oh Becky, you are such a saint. I would have lost it. God couldn't have picked two more awesome people to bless with such amazing children.

...why do people even talk. I think the only solution here is to be packin a water pistol of some sort and just shoot them...in the face. Yup, I think that is the ticket...
