I'm trying to get a fair number of layouts done without pictures for our expected new arrivals. I have a feeling my crop time will be severely limited after they are born.
Does anyone have examples or ideas of some cute baby pages for triplet boys? I'm completely stumped. We know two are identical, but we'll need to do a DNA test on the 3rd to find out if he is as well. So I'm trying to avoid anything that singles out one or the identicals. I have some individual layouts for each boy done, but nothing for the three together.
I've looked online at at the LSS and while there are some twin related items there is almost nothing for triplets.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

WOW! Triplet boys?? That's awesome!!! I don't really have any ideas (sorry!!)--I have a six month old little boy, and I'm just now starting on his stuff (not getting very far!!). I think it's great that you're pre-planning!! Congratulations to you!! Enjoy every single minute!! :goodvibes

Congratulations:cheer2: I think you're quite right to start now;) No ideas (Like the 3 peas idea Marlynn)
Triple fun? Triple trouble? (like trying to assemble cots etc ;) )

Thanks for the help. The only thing I've really come up with is just going with 3 coordinating colors on my layouts and assigning a color to each boy. That way the layouts will all tie together and give me a starting point.

Are you looking to do individual layouts for each of them or what? I'm a bit unsure. If you are doing individual layouts for each child's book, I would definite COPY the layouts... no need to have to think up three different ideas! I like your idea of combining three colors on the layouts and then individualizing it by assigning each child a color.
Becky Higgins (from CK magazine) has some great ideas out there for scrapping 4 x 6 photos (no need to trim and you fit lots on a page). I know that I have saved some magazine articles she wrote, but I think that there is also a book about this. You could potentially make up the layouts ahead of time and then add the 4 x 6 photos after. This would seem to be the easiest thing to do in advance. HTH............P
