I had worried that the transition from 2 to 3 kids would be much more difficult. So far, it's been fine. We've fallen into a nice routine where I get to spend lots of time with both my big and my little boys.
When Moomers and LeeLee come home from school we do homework, then they play either outside on the trampoline or upstairs in their art room. I like this time of the day because it's relatively mellow and I love seeing the art that my boys come up with:
LeeLee's art:
Moomers' Art: (I'd have to ask them again what each picture is, but I do remember that this first one is a minotaur with alien feet ;)
After homework is done and lots of playtime has been had, we start the bedtime crunch: dinner, bath, etc. then we get to relax a bit. Baby G has a couch in his room so each night I go up there with all three boys and put the little man down in his crib so I can read stories and practice spelling words with my older boys. I love snuggling up with them reading. They are really into these books, so each night we read a couple of chapters:

The boys are also taking their new roles as big brothers very seriously. They can't wait to share all of their boy knowledge with baby G...

I'm a very lucky mama...
