How can he be three already?! The years have gone by so fast. We celebrated his birthday on Sunday, and had a lovely day together. Rather than do big parties for the kiddies on their birthdays, we like to give them an "experience". A memory. A time doing something different, filled with laughter, rather than a party that always ends in tears anyway. Christian chose this year to go to Crazy Joker (like Lollipops - the big indoor playground), and since I'm still recovering from my extremely hard week last week, Daddy took the three older ones by himself, while I stayed home with the baby girls. 

They had a blast! They were so exhausted when they got home that they slung their tired bodies out on the couch and either fell asleep, or watched a kiddie movie with glassy eyes and slack mouths. Pretty much asleep with their eyes open. We then made the birthday cake (another tradition in our house. They decorate their own cake, with all the lollies in the world. I do believe this is their favourite bit! haha) and ate it for dinner, before tucking the tired wee souls into bed nice'n'early. 

I have some more pictures, and will pop them on here once I'm on the other computer. At the moment, I'm enjoying some snuggles in bed with the littliest. It's amazing how fast they grow up. I look into little Beth's face and realise that already she has changed so much. I know that a mere blink of the eyes and I'll be posting pictures of her first birthday. Amazing. And sad. Oh how I wish I could hold onto these newborn days forever. It's hard work, yes, but then there comes that moment when you catch a whiff of that newborn smell, and you hear those little snufflie noises that they make in their sleep, and you realise that...ahhh.... this is a little bit of Heaven on earth.
