After the Cincy family vacation, it was time for daddy to return to work. Unfortunately he could not take off the whole week and fortunately I was already on leave, so it was going to be me and the three kiddos by myself for three whole days. I have to admit that I was dreading it because I would be severely outnumbered, but we ended up having a good time!
The first day, I knew the boys would be ready to hang out at home after three fun, fast-paced days. I set up the water table and the kiddie pool for them to play in and they spent most of the day either in the water or playing inside with their trains. We also realized very quickly that we needed a bigger pool...
By the second day, they were ready to return to their normal pace. About 11am, I threw all three kids in the car in hopes that it would stop the whining from at least one of them and accomplish a couple errands. The boys were relatively good for errands so we grabbed McDs and headed to Garvin's Park for a picnic lunch. After our lunch, my sister and her family rode up on their bikes and all the kids had a blast on the playground. After a fun-filled afternoon, we headed home to meet daddy and we could report that we had a good day.
For the third and final day, we had arranged a playdate with a good friend and classmate. We met them at the Zoo and another friend also joined in. The four boys (and Claire) had a pretty good day at the Zoo, although it was a lot more visiting with each other than animal viewing. It was a very hot day too, so we were glad to go home to a BIGGER pool for the boys to play in!
Here are a few pictures from our three days...
