I went to MOPS this morning, and we had a great time just talking and sharing....stringing popcorn and cranberries for treats for the birds, and of course eating yummy food. Toblerone bar season is here again....
Connected with a friend over lunch, then headed over for my new adventure. A refugee couple from Ethiopia has just had triplets, and they need some major help. The babes are 8 weeks old, born 8 weeks early so are just now the size of Sam when he was born. 9 lb bundles of fabulousness. Upon arriving, I was greeted by the father, then introduced to the mother, and the babes and another volunteer. The mom passed babe to me and we sent her to bed. Linda and I got them all to sleep then proceeded to put together the most complicated pack and play with a bassinet that I have ever seen. Linda's shift ended far too soon, and I was left to my own devices with the three babes, Mom and Dad snoring away upstairs. It wasn't more than five minutes and all three were awake wanting to be held. I can do two but three is a stretch. Dad came down and marvelled at our success with the bassinet thing, and cuddled babe #1. Mom finally came back down and the procedure for formula making began. Someone had told them not to make it in advance. When babes are hungry times three there is no time to be messing with formula making. Babes fed again, changed again, burped some more and sleeping again when I left. Good times, and I got my baby fix.
Parent teacher interviews tomorrow and Thursday, and I'm looking forward to hearing how the kids are doing. Daniel just brought home a math test with 97%. One of the questions asked him what strategy he used to come up with his answer. His reply was "I'm just smart, I didn't use one!" She wrote"funny" and gave him full marks.... cocky beast he is!
We were supposed to have snow today, and although we had some flurries, we ended up with rain. I really am looking forward to the soft look of snow... curse me if need be but I love the stuff.
