Multiple births double fun
NO doubt about it - you will be seeing double and triple this weekend.
The Far North Queensland Multiple Births Association will celebrate its 30th anniversary on Sunday with five of its life members from across Australia getting together for the event.
A support network for parents with multiples, the club will host a spit-roast at Thomas Swallow Park, Edmonton, at 3pm.
Mother-of-four Jo Sharp said there were 33 club members and three of those families had triplets while the rest had twins.
Mrs Sharp said there was never a dull moment in her house.
"I’ve also got a son who is three and some days it’s happy and fun times and then there’s the times you feel like pulling your hair out.
"It’s triple the treat or triple the trouble."
Mrs Sharp said the club was an "emotional support" to help families with multiples and to offer hands-on support to parents.
For catering purposes, phone 0439 797 221 before tomorrow afternoon if attending.
