Triple Trouble and Double Trouble

As we were driving to the coast this weekend for another round of camping at Nehalem Bay State Park, Chloe told me "I might be shy when I see triple trouble". Triple trouble being our friends 4 year old triplets Eleanor, Dylan and Sebastian. We were meeting our friends Liz & Brian and their triplets (otherwise known as "the herd") and our friends Kevin & Kristi and their twins (Matt & Sam, who are in Chloe's class at school) for the weekend. 6 kids under 4. At least the adults outnumbered the kids, as Brian's parents were there and Kristi's friend too. While we only ended up camping one night thanks to the lovely weather on the Oregon Coast, we were fortunate to be invited to Kevin & Kristi's family beach house in Gerhart for Saturday night. So, we ended up with the perfect weekend combo of camping and beach housing!

Chloe slept all the way home from the coast. Tonight before bed I asked her what her favorite part of the weekend was and she said "Spending time with Matty & Sammy. That's what Daddy calls them, Matty & Sammy".

When we got home, we unpacked, and Chloe was looking through our toiletry bags, asking Craig what everything was. Later I was reading to Chloe and she smelled, well, rather manly. I asked Craig if he put deoderant on her and he hadn't. I asked Chloe if she put it on. At first she said no, but then she said she tried it. And she put it on both her arm pits and elbow pits so she was really fragrant. A good scrub in the bath got her sweet little girl smell back!
