Scow described the chaos that ensued while the judge was questioning potential jury members, saying, \"[The triplets] were walking up to the judge's table and everything, so I'd go grab one, and as I was walking back, another baby would be walking up, so I'd have to go grab that baby, and it was just like constant while everyone is just sitting there in silence.\"
Scow said as she was trying to both entertain and control her four kids, a police officer at the courthouse brought over a bin of toys for them to play with, which she said \"helped immensely.\"
In the end, Scow said she and her kids were at jury duty for over two hours before they were able to go home.
In an Instagram video describing the day, Scow noted, \"You have to realize that even me and Kory haven't even gone to church with all the babies with me and him for that long, because it's too much.\"
\"I fed them more snacks than they've ever had in their entire life to keep them quiet,\" she said, later adding, \"But we made it and we showed up.\"

In addition to the police officer who helped by bringing toys, Scow said a person in the waiting room helped entertain her older daughter, Emory, now 5, while others commended her for even showing up to jury duty.
\"People were so nice after,\" Scow said. \"They're like, 'Oh, I admire you! I couldn't have done that.'\"
