School is Ending!!

John, Jacob & Alison's last day of school was yesterday. I dont really think that they understand it because Melvin is still in school. They got a end of school year book with all of the stuff that they learned throughout the year. It was really cool to see what all they have learned and all that they have remembered. Also we got school pictures the guy made me a good deal, he told me that if I would purchase all of the packages which were $20.00 a piece he would give me all of them for $40.00 because of having to purchase 3. Some people give me breaks which I am grateful for and some just dont care and assume because we have Triplets that we have alot of money. Melvin gets out of school next Thursday at 12:00 and he cant wait to get out it is getting to be a struggle to get him off to school everyday. We dont have alot of plans for the summer but I am sure between all of the toys in the backyard and swimming at the YMCA we will have a fun summer.
Here is some new pictures of the kids in the new tire swing. Lee redid it so that they could all ride together.

Alison was not feeling good so that is why she is not in the pictures.

I will talk to everyone later.

Jacob and The Broken Toilet

So our one and only working Toilet in the house was not working properly and here is the story... John came up to me one day and said "Jacob flushed Melvin's comb in the toilet." So from that day on we assumed when we took the toilet off to get it out we would find a small comb. Well weeks went by and the toilet just was not flushing right and once again we assumed that there was a comb in it and was causing toilet paper and other stuff not to go down. Yesterday I finally got tired of having to pluge the toilet after every flush and then flush it 3 times. So Lee took the whole toilet off in the bathroom at which point all the kids needed to use the bathroom. Once again only working toilet!! We finally get it turned over and we can see whats in there and it does not look like a comb. Lee gets a wire clothes hanger and pushes the item back through the curves of the toilet and it finally comes out. And here is the cause of all of my Toilet Problems.
When then get all of the kids in the bathroom and ask who flushed this in the toilet. One by one they all say not me until we get to Jacob and he says I did it. I am just not sure what I am going to do with him. We told them if we catch them playing in the toilet again they would get in big trouble. I hope everyone enjoys my little story and I still want to know how that thing got that far down into the toilet. Some things will have to be left a mystery. Hopefully by the end of June we will have the other bathroom finished so that the kids can stay out of mine and I know then I will have atleast one working toilet.
