Mischief, Mayhem and Trouble
I had some shirts made for the girls. I just couldn't resist and Adia definitely loves hers. It fits her to a tee anyway. Now she's calling her sisters Mischief and Mayhem. It's rather funny.

Rhody Weekend
We were back at the coast this weekend for Rhody Days. Before we left, the girls showed me a slight climbing problem we're going to be having. Adia wasn't a climber until she was much older, but the twins already want to do everything Adia does. I will say that Leia was up there before Adia.
We drove to the coast on Saturday and hoped the weather would be nice. It was supposed to be rainy and windy all weekend so I made sure we had rain gear with us. We got super luck though and it was beautiful at the carnival. It was sunny, no rain and almost warm. Adia had a blast too. She went on the merry-go-round with Papa, the dragon roller coaster with Colie, the fun house with me, and the airplanes with Eck. She especially loved the bounce house and Papa was even able to get her out of it when it was time to try something new. I think Papa really does have magical powers.
She won a centipede at the duck game and while she was on the airplanes with Eck, Colie and I won her snakes. She then used the snakes to tickle her sisters and make them laugh. She also got some cotton candy. No carnival trip is complete without cotton candy. We walked around a little and found a face painting booth. Adia did well waiting in line and wanted her face painted as a kitten. After it was painted, she was pouty because she had suddenly decided she wanted Spiderman. I can't win with this child.
We did some more walking, looked at motorcycles and attempted to navigate through the crowds. Adia and I stopped in the toy store and she got a new toy. It's one of those balls with a "ferret" attached. It rolls around on its own and all 3 girls think it's the coolest thing ever.
The next day was the parade. It rained most of the morning so we thought it would rain for the parade. Once again, we were lucky. The rain stayed away for the entire parade and I even got sunburned! The girls had a great time, but since Adia was tired, she wouldn't let me get any good pictures of her. The twins loved the bands. Leia enjoyed clapping to the drums.
After the parade, we had A&W. Adia gobbled down her hot dog and 1/2 a hamburger while the twins ate 1 1/2 hamburger patties. They are bottomless pits. Mira started to get restless though. She wanted to move and confining her to a high chair wasn't cutting it. She started to do her ear piercing scream. It was awful.
We all crashed when we got back to Gramma and Papa's house and then the girls all fell asleep early for bed too. However, at about 4:30am, I woke to Leia pitter pattering on the kitchen floor! She apparently woke up and thought she could make her own bottle. At least she wasn't crying, but certainly not what I was expecting.

Wow, I've really been slacking when it comes to the blog, but the girls have been keeping me going. I rarely have a few seconds to pick up the laptop anymore, especially since the twins are so grabby when it comes to electronics. Daddy and I also had a weekend away (sans laptop) so I didn't write then and we've seemed to have one busy weekend after another.
Since our weather seems to have gone back to winter time with plenty of wind and rain, Adia has been enjoying playtime at the play area. The twins like playing there too when there's not too many kids playing. Surprisingly, Leia's the braver one. She heads right out into the middle of things, while Mira likes to crawl in and out of tunnels.
Unky Eck graduated from college on Mother's day so Adia and Daddy made some mother's day/graduation brownies to share. And Daddy says he can't cook or bake... and that was even gluten free baking.
Adia also made some cards. She's getting really good at making actual pictures. She made flowers for Gramma and DiDi.
Unky Eck has great weather for his graduation. It was super sunny and warm. Adia couldn't sit still or be quiet for the ceremony so she got to play in the sand pit. Afterward, the girls played in the grass while we waited for everyone. Adia wasn't being too cooperative so I don't have many pictures of her.
In the middle of this, the twins turned 10 months old. We're getting so close to a year, I can't believe it. They're getting so big. They've actually been wearing some of Adia's 12-18mo clothes. Mira's taking steps and getting braver and braver while Leia started standing unassisted the last couple days. She looks so proud of herself when she does and usually starts giggling. Mira can also clap and tries to the the rolling motion for patty cake. It's so cute to watch. The both love books and trying new foods. Today they ate an entire mango by themselves. If it's fruit, they're all over it.
Leia really loves sweet potatoes too. She had some roasted sweet potatoes yesterday and even though she ate a bunch of them, she also used them as body paint. I hadn't planned on bathing the twins, but she really gave me no choice. Adia didn't mind. She doesn't seem to like taking baths alone anymore.
I just wish Mira would stop drinking the bath water. While I'm sure it prepares her for drinking out of a cup, I'm not sure it's the best way to practice.
And occasionally, Adia is cooperative with the camera. (yes, she still wears glasses, but she's been a bit temperamental about keeping them on lately. Ahh, to be 3)
She also got a haircut a week ago. She told me she didn't want her sisters pulling her hair anymore so she wanted to get her haircut. I think she took off 3 inches, but Adia told her how short she wanted it to be and she sat mostly still.
This last weekend, DiDi watched all 3 girls for 2 nights so Daddy and I could have a weekend away for our anniversary. Daddy and I thought we'd get a frantic phone call, begging us to come back, but the girls were perfect angels for her instead. I'm not entirely sure they wanted us to come home at all.
And I think I'm raising more than 1 jedi. The force seems to be strong with all my girls:
