Our clan has been gearing up for Halloween for the last few weeks. We've been to the pumpkin patch, where Chase tried to pick up every last pumpkin, and thanks to the help of PaPaw, Parker didn't escape to the vast unknown. We painted pumpkins, where I thought I was so smart in using washable paints since the kids proved me correct in my original thinking that they'd be wearing a LOT of paint. The only problem was that the fabulous monsoon of rainstorms we've been having washed all the paint on their pumpkins away. And, to finalize our fun, we made Halloween cookies. This was the first time that I can remember that I didn't have to decorate a single cookie. It was FABULOUS! Sometimes having too many kids does produce some nice benefits. :)
All of the fun leading to tomorrow has Reid plum tuckered out. It's just the rest before the mass sugar storm hits, I'm sure. Happy Trick-or-Treating All!
In Jason's free time (ha ha), he has been trying to clear space on our computers and moving picture files around. It has been so much fun going through old pictures of the boys and seeing how far we have come. The first year of the triplets' lives was such a blur, so it is nice that I at least have something that I can look back on to reminisce.

I have been married to my college sweetheart, Jason, since August 2001. We were blessed in October 2004 with our first son, Reid. In 2007, we learned the shocking news that we were going to have triplets. God definately has a sense of humor! In December 2007, we welcomed Logan, Parker, and Chase into the world at 37 weeks gestation! And thus our life of craziness began--the Stewart 6!
I currently stay at home with the guys and have learned to follow the motto..."if you can't beat them, join them"--and thus we live in a constant state of disorder and I wouldn't want it any other way!
