Vacation time

This is the boys 2nd week of vacation. We aren't doing anything big as we will be going to CT in June. Can't wait! But a little anxious to fly with 5 children! Mostly we have just been hanging out and getting stuff done around the house.

The 2 older boys had their physicals yesterday. They are both healthy and well! Justin is my biggest boy, 50th percentile for weight and height! They got their flu shots also. We had the choice between the mist and the shot, but after hearing the mist was a live virus which could cause the flu, we went with the shot.

With Alex home this week (he actually took a whole week of vacation off!) we've moved onto more of the outdoor work. The garden and trees are weeded. The curbing has been weedwacked and weeds pulled outside the curbing. Alex rebuilt the roof of the playscape. Tonight we will hopefully move the weight bench and move cribs upstairs. Tomorrow the plan is to put the roof on the house, close up the hole for the rockwall area, reput a fence around the garden and if the rain holds off to spray weedkiller. Then Thurs's plan is the doorstep - it needs to be built out a bit for the screen door and fix a light.

William has been enjoying being outside with us swinging or sweeping the porch. He loves to hold on to the broom and move it back and forth. He really hates stepping on the grass even with shoes on though.

I am so excited for Friday and to see the babies again. They feel heavy in my stomach lately and I think that I am as big as I was at 8 months pregnant with William. Hopefully by the time they arrive I will still have clothes that fit me! :)
