Last Week of "Vacation"

Chris kept calling his paternity leave...vacation.  This was his last week off, of three and we had a long list of things to accomplish.  It was nice to have the time to get it all done so we did not have to waste our weekend doing it all.

Monday, May 13th...

We started Monday out with a bang by taking a trip to BJs and spending over $500!  However, $200 of it was pool supplies that will last all season.  But, still...it was painful.

After spending all that money we realized we had to fit it all into the car.  However, the front seat had Stella's stroller...the middle row had me and Stella...and the back row had Austin and a bunch of other things my car carries around.  But, we got it all to fit.

Chris and the stroller up front.

I was sitting in between Stella and all of this stuff.

Austin in the far back...

All of this was packed in next to Austin.  And, that's how you fit $500 into the Tahoe.

The boys received Mickey Mouse lollipops from Jocelyn.

Sweet Lips!

Tuesday, May 14th...

I tackled the playroom on this day...Austin destroyed it while I was gone and it was never really picked up and/or organized again.  There was stuff everywhere...all sorts of game pieces, toys, puzzles, etc...

Sleeping and rolling over just a bit.

This evening was my first night by myself with all three kids for a decent amount of time.  It wasn't too bad, but bedtime was a bit tricky.

Wenesday, May 15th...

I caught Austin checking Stella out and touching her head..I grabbed my camera and went back to take a picture, but he saw me and started playing with the toys on her seat instead.  :)  For the record...he was being very gentle.

We finally opened Austin's Fat Cat account at the credit union.  This was him waiting to get his picture taken for his debit card...Austin with a debit card?  I don't think so!

Two weeks old today!

 Big brothers and their little sister.  This shot was hard to get.

14 days old.

"Look, I'm much longer than my Stella doll!"

"But, I still like to scrunch my legs up most of the time."

  

 Hunter had a baseball game, but I stayed home...of course, I missed a great game.  He even hit a double!

Some how, I did not take a single picture the rest of the week.  On Friday, the 17th Stella had her two week appointment.  She gained 15 ounces in just about a week.  That's almost two ounces a day.  She was up to 8lbs 7oz!  She was 21 and 3/8 inches in height and her head circumference was 13 and 3/4.  (50% for weight, 83% for height and 21% for head circumference...so she has a much smaller head then her brothers)  After her appointment we went to Hunter's school.  Chris and Austin went in and ate lunch with him.  Then we went downtown to get Stella's birth certificate.  We also received her social security card in the mail...so I guess she's all set.  :)

Sat. the 18th Hunter had another baseball game...right at the end a storm started so we had to race to the car.  It ended up being Hunter's last game of the season because the next game was rained out.
