Aquarium & Pike Place Market with Nana & Papa
We took Paul to work and caught the bus to Seattle from there. We went to the aquarium first, then Nana thought it would be nice to bring some fish home from the market...
A birthday party!
Andrew & Annabelle had their birthday party at the Everett Children's Museum. Henri found an empty seat and sat himself right up with the big kids, even though he and Valerie were the youngest guests...

Feeling like I have 3 kids...
Last night feedings were pretty good: 10pm, midnight, 2am, 4am, 7am
So 7am I wake up in a bed with me, Paul, Henri and Valerie in the bassinette next to us. I felt next to me to discover 1/3 of Henri's milk cup had spilled on the comforter, so I'll be washing all the bedding today after church (I just washed and made the bed 2 days ago).
Then I look over at Valerie who stinks and is sitting in a wet/poopy spot. Note that I already ripped off the bassinette bedding once in the night, so I rip off the second layer and put that in the growin accumulation of laundry. I strip her down and give her a bath, then start the bath for the boys who need one.
Get boys (who are now awake) naked and in the tub, meanwhile feed Valerie. Hear, "Henri pooped in the tub! Gross!" Instruct boys to move into MY tub and get Carter to fill it up. Finish feeding Valerie, put her in the crib. Wash the boys' bodies & hair, get them out and dressed and put toast and apples in front of them. I take a shower and even put on makeup for the first time since having a baby. Even have my hair out of the ponytail, finally.
Get out to Henri squealing. Go down to laundry room to find I must have been interrupted moving the laundry over and finish moving the laundry over. Come back to dining room to see Henri's fingers covered in my Nutella from MY breakfast.
It's now 9am, and I have 2 more loads of laundry in my future today besides folding and putting away the one in the dryer. What did I do with only 2 kids? I must have been bored out of my mind!
