First time out

Okay, so I thought we were doing pretty well juggling three girls. That is, until we had all three girls at church for the first time today. It was a nightmare. Ellie kept yelling for fruit snacks and candy (I didn't realize I had all these goodies in the diaper bag still) and Katie kept trying to run away. Every time one of the girls would fuss or cry Sarah would start to do the same. Mom finally took Katie out and Ellie had a meltdown because I wouldn't let her go as well. In the end I was left alone with Sarah while Mom and Dad had the other two girls in the hallway. It's a good thing we had one adult to each child! Then Ellie wet her pants in nursery. There are some days where you wonder why you even try... All the drama aside, it was great for me to get out and be in Sacrament meeting today. I really missed not going to church the last couple weeks. Plus, I had to show off Sarah to everyone.

After church I took a few pictures of the girls. Katie is wearing the dress my sister, Cynthia had given to Ellie on her 1st birthday. We were noticing today that both girls barely fit in their dresses. I thought I had clothes plenty big for this summer. Both girls have just hit huge growth spurts and are growing out of things faster than I expected. I think I might have a reason to go shopping again! :) Ellie's in a 4T dress and Katie is in an 18 month dress in the pics, FYI. We were fortunate to inherit a swing set from our neighbors across the street and surprisingly Katie does great on the swings. She was upset when I made her come in the house this afternoon. My girls love the outdoors!
