Butch yawned as he floats out of his room. His black hair was messy and his oversized shirt was winkly, he just woke up from a nice nap and his migraine was thankfully gone.

The raven looked around the livingroom and saw that he was alone.

" Butch? Is it you Emerald ?" The raven saw his mother emerge from the kitchen, her wavy long orange hair was tied in two braids tied with gold cherry hair ties. She was wearing an apron and had a wooden spoon in her hand.

" I see you're better now. Did you had a nice nap ?" She smiled at the floating raven who followed her to the kitchen.

Butch nodded before jumping when he heard the sound of a metal bowl that fell on the ground. His mother also jumped then speed walked towards the kitchen island.

There they both found Boomer with a little kitchen apron and a whisk in his hand, the blond looking embarrassed at the bowl now on the ground.

His blue eyes turned to his mother and brother with an apologetic look.

" Mommy, I made a oopsie.." The mother warmly smiled at her son's honesty as he looked at the custard splattered on his clothes.

" It's okay, my Sapphire.." She chuckled and stepped over the splattered custard and took the whisk out his hand. She took a taste of the vanilla custard and smiled at the taste.

" As least you got better. The vanilla custard is creamy and sweet but next time be careful to really hold the bowl as you whip the cream, okay ?" Boomer smiled, seeing his mother not angry at him for accidentally let go of the bowl, and nodded at her advice.

" Now go clean yourself. We'll remake the custard for the tartlets.."
" Okay Mommy.." The blond flew off the ground and put his apron on the table and quickly flew to the bathroom.

Kristina chuckled at her blond son and turned to Butch who was now sitting on the kitchen table to not walk in the custard.

" Ace, clean this up please." The program immediately obeyed as robotic arms unfolds around the kitchen and start cleaning the mess.

" How about you change your clothes and water the plants ?" She walked over him and affectionately rubbed his hair making the raven smile and lean against her hand. " Brick should be at the front yard too, probably practicing baseball.."

Butch nodded and after a few minutes of being petted by his mother, he went to his room and changed into his faily clothes.

Kristina smiled as she took out again the ingredients from the fridge to make the vanilla custard.

Out of the three brothers, she always thought that Butch would like to practice a sport that would help him channel his high level of energy, such as martial arts or fighting sports like kick boxing or wrestling.

But she was surprised when one day, he came to her while she was in her laboratory and said something about "plantening food" while tugging on her coat.

She remembered how confused she got by the 5 year old vocabulary (and how she cooed at the cuteness of his words) and asked him what he meant.

The child very awkwardly explained what he meant, saying something about 'making food from the ground', before she understood.

Butch wanted to learn how to garden, or plantening food as he said.

She was really surprised but allowed him to try this new hobby. And so far, he seemed to really like gardening and take care of his garden.

She also noticed that Butch would prefer to grow shrubs of fruits (such as raspberries, strawberries , kiwis, and blackcurrant..) and aromatic and/or medicinal plants (such as lavender, thyme, mint..) in pots in and around the house.

For some reason, she noticed it brought some sort of comfort to him. The medicinal plants in the house and in his own room were visibly keeping him calm and relaxed and keep his energy under control.

She was glad he didn't regret his choice of hobby, and plus it could help her with her research of an accelerating growth serum that she has been trying to do for 3 years now.

But he wasn't the only one who wanted to try a new hobby. Boomer and Brick also wanted to try new hobbies.

Being creative, she told him to try a hobby that could help him show his desire to create to the world. That's how he got introduced to cooking, Boomer really enjoy baking especially pastries.

As for Brick, who seemed to like things who have a specific purpose, he got introduced to precision sports including those with a ball where the main goal is to get the ball into the hole.
He tried several and took a liking to baseball and basketball for some reason, which he absolutely loved.

So she made some sort of schedule for them.
Butch would water all the plants every day and the weekend she would help him remove weeds and add fertilizer,
Brick would practice and have baseball classes every Wednesday and Saturday,
and Boomer will help her on meals every Tuesday and Thursday and got cooking classes on Saturday.

It was a bit tough but she and the boys adjusted to the schedule plus their school/work days.

But anyway, Kristina heard the door close meaning Butch just got out. Then heard two pairs of soft footsteps coming her way, she turned and saw both Brick and Boomer in the kitchen doorway.
The blond was now in shorts overalls and a baby blue t-shirt, while Brick was visibly sweaty from the hot weather outside, his orange sticking to his forehead.

" Momma, I'm thirsty.." Brick panted as he let his baseball gear fall on the ground and wiped his forehead.
" I'm back Mommy !" Boomer smiled as he ran towards her and hugged her leg making her smile down at him.

Then she turned to Brick with a worried expression. " How about a cool bath for you, My Ruby ? You want a nice cool bath ?" She asked the sweaty redhead who nodded.

" Okay, Boomer stay here and give your brother some water. I'll be right back, I'm gonna prepare a nice bath for him." She leaned down and patted the blond on the head and walked out the kitchen.

" Oh and bring water to Butch outside too ! It's hot outside and I don't want him to be dehydrated !!"
"Okay Mommy !!" Boomer answered.

＊❤️~💙~💚＊

Since it was hot outside, Kristina decided to uncover the pool in the backyard and let the boys swim in the fresh and clean water.

Now in their swimsuits, the triplets went to play in the pool with their mother who changed her clothes to a white sundress with her swimsuit underneath with still her glasses on.

Brick and Butch having little competitions like who stays underwater longer or who is first in a race, while Kristina was teaching Boomer how to swim, not minding her dress being wet.

The blond having a purple donut buoy around his waist as he nervously held his mum's hand as she guide him as he swims.

" Good job baby ! Don't forget to breath, it's important to breath when you move." The redhead mother praised as she let him lean against her chest to catch his breath.
She hummed as Boomer hold on her waist and nuzzled her stomach.

" It's even better than last time. You really progressed !" She smiled down at him as she sat criss-crossed in the shallowest part of the pool, the water barely above her hip as the little boy changes position and sits between her legs.

The blond smiled up at his mom and hugged her waist, making her smile and hold him closer to her stomach.

" You cheated !" She looked up and saw Butch with a frown on his face while Brick had a triumphant smirk on.

" No I didn't !" Brick sticked his tongue out before being pushed into the water by his raven brother who laughed.

The redhead float back to the surface and spits the water he accidentally swallowed in the face of his brother who shrieked in surprise and disgust.

" Grooooossss !!!" Butch gagged at the water in his mouth and spit it out too as Brick laughed with his untied hair all over his face.

Kristina shook her head with an amused smile as she saw Butch glare at the laughing redhead before pushing him back in the pool water, much to Brick's surprise as he shriek before disappearing again under water.

" Those two, I swear.." She chuckled as both she and Boomer watched as Butch screamed before being tugged under water too.

Kristina chuckled as she walked back in the backyard. It was around 4:35 p.m and the pastries Boomer made were finally ready.

She saw the triplets already sitting by the table. The three still in their swimsuits, soaked from head to toe as they sit on the chairs which are now wet too.

They keep chanting 'Snack !' while slamming their hands carefully, trying to not break the table with their super-strength, on the furniture.

" Okay, okay ! Snacks are here you rascals !" The mother chuckled and put the plate in front of the trio. " You should thank your brother. He made them, all by himself !"

She took Boomer by his waist and pecked his cheek.
" Thank you, my sweet little chef.." She smiled as the blond boy went pink and shyly poked his hands together as she put him back on his chair.

" I-It was nothing, Mommy.." He gave a shy smile as his brothers thanked him too before taking one each.

Since it was Boomer's first time to bake mostly alone, he chose to do some strawberries tartlets, with the fruits coming from Butch's garden of course.

Kristina was just proud of how almost perfect they were, the custard was still something Boomer still have to work on but he definitely got better than last time.

As for the strawberries, Butch was proud to bring back some of the ripest fruits in his garden, being the first to be planted before the others.

He was and is still very proud of his work. And it really showed with how he gobbled up the little pastries like nothing.

A good 20 minutes later, both blond and raven were back in the pool just swimming and enjoying the hot weather. Meanwhile both redheads, mother and son, were out the water to play basketball upon Brick's request.

" Yeah !! 3 points ! It's 14 points for me and 6 point for Momma !!" Brick cheered, making a victory dance as Kristina readjusts her glasses.

" Oh no, I lost. You're too strong for me !" The mother kneed down in surrender and let out a sigh, smiling warmly upon seeing her baby do a victory dance through her glasses.

Was she exaggerating? Maybe a bit..

She never really liked sports and didn't even tried to play against Brick.

She's more a 'science nerd' kind of woman..

Plus she's a mother..and as a mother, she likes seeing her babies get proud about things their 5-year-old brains find fantastic and extraordinary.

Boosting their 5-year-old confidence was something she just love to do, especially when they made cute victory dances about it.

It was just so cute to see them celebrate such little things !!

It always warms her heart to see them so happy and proud, acting as a child their age should be about simple things.
So she doesn't mind 'losing' or 'giving up' for being 'too weak against them because they're too strong for her'.

" Don't worry Momma. Maybe you'll beat me next time !!" Brick laughed as he hugged his mother.

Yeah, plus, she doesn't have the heart to tell him that she was losing on purpose..

" Yeah, maybe next time.." She smiled down at him and pulled his hair away from his face as he grinned up at her.

＊💙☆❤️☆💚＊

Kristina fondly smiled as she saw her babies. The trio was lazily laying on the couch, wearing their pajamas as they watched Cars on the big TV screen.

All this swimming made the trio made the triplets sleepy, so she made them took their shower then eat their dinner before leaving them in front of the TV since they alreadydone their homework.

She choose to put on some Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks movies for them, and as any 5 year olds, they absolutely love it. (Don't worry, she put on classics like Hercules, Big Hero 6, Monster Inc, Toy Story, etc..😌)

But anyway, as soon as the redhead stepped in the livingroom three heads immediately perked up.

" Mama / Momma / Mommy !!" The trio smiled as their mother joined them on the couch. Her orange hair untied and dropping over her shoulders as she sat and leaned back on the couch cushions.

She was wearing her pajamas as well, and gave a tired sigh as she let her body when she lets her body sink into the comfort of the cushions.

The trio grinned at their mother being comfortable and crawled to her side, as soon as they reached her, they climbed all over her body much to her amusement as she giggled.

Boomer smiled as he leaned on his mother's left side, feeling her arm go around him as she tugged him close to her. He wrapped his small arms around hers and snuggle into it with a tired smile.

Brick crawled over her other side and wrapped his small arm around her upper arm, starting to play slowly with a lock of her orange hair as his own was tied back in one loose braid with a red tie.

Butch just yawned and crawled over her lap, nuzzling her warm thighs as he got a strong grip on her pjs while still watching TV.

Fortunately she noticed how tired they were and chuckled at how much Butch and Brick were trying to stay awake on her.

" Maybe it's time for you three to go to sleep.." She giggled as the trio start fussing..well at least try to fuss on her.. they were too tired to even argue with her.

" C'mon my jewels, time for bed.." She smiled and brought the trio in her arms before standing up with them in her gentle embrace.

She softly hummed a lullaby as she felt Boomer's gentle breath on her neck, the blond already fell asleep in her arms.

The mother warmly smiled and pecked Butch's forehead who passed out when his head touched his pillow.

Then in Boomer's room, she tucked the blond in and pecked his forehead too as he curled up under his blanket.

Finally she took Brick's cap off and pecked his forehead too as he cuddled his pillow and softly start snoring.

Kristina closed Brick's bedroom door and smiled, then she closed Boomer's after turn on his night light, and finally Butch's after checking if he didn't fall off his bed again.

The redhead mother grinned and get back downstairs to put on some movies for herself, now knowing that her boys were peacefully sleeping upstairs.
