My New Stroller

I have been wanting a stroller for my three girls for so long and I finally found one on ebay. I did not want to spend too much money on it since I knew that I would not use it that often. I wanted a triple stroller so that I could walk/jog with them to the park.

The stroller is so wide that it does not fit through standard doors. I knew this when I bought it - but,I was okay with it because I also knew that I did not want to take all three of them out and about and inside stores by myself. The stroller was only for running outside or to the park.

Well, the stroller finally arrived and I was so excited that I assemlbled it immediately - it was then that I realized just how heavy it really was.

I used it the very next day - I walked/ran the girls to the park - and it was so freaking hard - hard to maneouvar, hard to handle, it kept getting caught on the sidewalk etc., I had quite a workout. I can't imagine doing this during the hot summer months since I was drenched by the time that we got back home.

I guess I should have known better. Pushing the three of them is hard work!

Easter Weekend

What a busy, busy Easter weekend. We were blessed to share it with our family and friends.

On Holy Thursday, MG and I took the girls out to dinner. The picture above shows us before we went out to eat. I don't have too many matching outfits for the three of them, but this is one that I do have and we thought that they looked too cute!

On Good Friday, MG and I went out with Michael's brothers and their wives - we went to our favorite sushi restaurant where we had a lot of different sushi with a lot more wine. Of course, we paid the price for it the next day since lil G wakes up before dawn. It took me the entire weekend to get over that one night. But it was well worth it!

On Saturday, the girls, MG and I colored Easter eggs and then on Easter Sunday we took the girls to both grandparents' house. Needless to say, they went on 2 Easter egg hunts, and have so much leftover chocolate - which of course is being consumed by me.

Coloring Eggs

The Saturday before Easter, Michael and I walked the girls over to Randall's (in our new stroller), to buy white eggs and dye to color them. As soon as we got home, we boiled the eggs and prepared the dyes. This is the picture of the table set up before the girls began to dye their eggs. The entire prep work took about one hour - the girls were so excited - Giuliana especially since she loves to do art work. They knew that something was going on - finally all of the preparations were ready and the girls could begin coloring.

I showed the girls how to color the eggs first so that they could do it themselves after. Gisella is watching and learning.

Giuliana is putting stickers on the eggs. She did an awesome job decorating.

Here she is coloring the eggs all by herself!

It took us so long to get everything ready and it took the girls about 10 minutes to color the eggs, place stickers on them, throw the eggs on the floor, get dye all over their hands, get bored and move on to some other disaster. Sigh.
