Anyway, we decided to buy a pool for our backyard as the summer's here are so hot and humid so this is a picture of Sean starting to dig up the sod where we are installing it.
This is a picture of it tonight. He still has to level it so that we can lay down sand and then put it up (above ground pool). His goal is to get it up and finished before this baby comes so that sounds good to me! I've learned extreme patience my last (almost) 9 years of marriage so I don't demand things be done the day of anymore. I can wait right?
Anyway...I made it in one piece and managed not to raise my voice once...my eyebrows were crawling off my face though!
This is a picture of what my feet have been looking like for the past 3 days. People...this is a sight for sore eyes I know...but it must be documented!
If you don't believe how bad it is...I made an indentation and took a picture a few moments after...it hadn't gone back to it's normal puffiness yet...Oh how I can't wait for my skinny feet again!
So I made the kids dinner since they were starving and managed to make myself something which I finally got a chance to sit down and eat...only to realize Taylor was finished and falling asleep on the couch with a alphagetti stained tummy and face. So I left my first bite and took her upstairs for a quick shower and bed!Now it's about 2 hours later and I just finished putting her back to sleep from her little cry fest she just had. What is it about kids that miss their naps and go to bed early? Do they not all wake up like an hour after you put them to bed in a total fit? My kids totally do that and I don't get it. After tickling her to death and having her still break down and cry I totally woke her up from her slumbers to read her 2 stories. When I was done the only way to get her to stop crying was to tickle her. She's totally falling asleep but notices when my hand leaves her tummy for the slightest second to itch my face. Finally I just said "I'll be right back..." since I had to carry the two sleeping boys upstairs to their beds. She was sad, but by the time I was done with them she fell asleep...I haven't heard her wake up yet so I think I'm in the clear for the night!
It's time to put my feet up and sit down finally today! I desperately hope I can make it these last few weeks!

You'll love having that pool! How fun. I have to say those pullups and diapers are super absorbent. I once washed one by accident and that nastly gel stuff was all over the inside of the washer and took me forever to clean up!
You have such a big backyard. I love it. Taylor cracks me up. I love her expressions.
Your poor feet!!
Oh Lib...your poor feet!!! My feet aren't there yet, but I'm afraid my nose is well on its way to be puffy!!! I wake up and my fingers feel like they may burst. You only have 5+ weeks and I only have 8. We CAN make it!!! PS- I HATE grocery shopping too!!!!
oh your feet, that sucks! Not too much longer! At least you will have a pool too cool off in during those hot days! Enjoy!
I'm so sorry about your feet. That just looks like it hurts! You'll totally make it these last few weeks. Just hang in there. At least its not too hot yet!!!!
haha, i love taylor's booty! that's hilarious! how FUN that you're getting a pool! that'll be wicked! you're brave to go grocery shopping alone with all your kids, i usually wait till Jeffrey can come with. i hate it too! your feet look so familiar to me, i feel your pain! i love when the ankles make their appearance again, i can't stop staring! i honestly feel like could be a foot model when it happens. :)
Wow I got tired just reading that. I've had those feet but never again. I have the best cook book for you. It's called Dinner Survival by Sandi Richard. It's 10 weeks of meals with really detailed shopping lists for every week. It totally takes the thinking out of it and the food is really good. Even my kids like it.
