A busy weekend!

The girls love to be outside - mostly they love to swing, but every so often we can convince them to do something else! That's how we started the weekend, rushing out after breakfast to get some playtime in before the thermometer hit 100! We also had a birthday party for Greg with his family coming over, which was followed by more outside time with the big cousins. I can say big because although only two of the cousins are older and bigger (ages 13 and almost 8), the other cousin while about 8 months younger than the triplets, already outweighs them (and has for a while) and is almost as tall!

Mikey, Meredith, Melissa, Jasmine, Josiah, Claire, Amanda

Claire can't decide if she should play the piano with Jasmine, kick the ball with Josiah, or read with Mikey. So many cousins, so little time...

Jasmine and Nana provide a little 'Heart and Soul'

Josiah can't get away from all the pink! Pink strollers, pink dolls... even the soccer ball is pink!!

Making a wish before blowing out the candles (on a purple velvet cake - Greg's favorite cake is Nana's red velvet cake. But last time we had cake for someone's birthday, Amanda wouldn't eat it because it wasn't purple! So Nana played with food coloring a little to get it as purple as possible. Amanda loved it!)

Meredith kicks up her heels in her new boots!
