Staycation 2010: Day 3

Today lived up to the name Staycation! Isabella and I were virtually unproductive today. Eric however, worked like a crazy man and now my car is washed, detailed and looks brand new. I got to wake up with Bella this morning and we enjoyed hanging in the living room and eating breakfast. Eric is an early bird so he woke up too but his daddy time was to just chill out and play video games so I made sure to give him time to do that. Bella and I also tried to hang outside but it's a little hot and I'm a little under the weather. So we mainly stayed inside. After nap we did a bit of swim time as well but Eric and I have yet to master the timing so the pool is not frigid, Bella didn't spend much time in it. Oh well, here's a great picture of our pool, Bella and I will be spending a lot of time here this summer.


















We finally made an outing today to Checker's to pick up dinner for tomorrow. It was a blast and VERY nice to get out of the house. We also said goodbye to our two fish. Buying a fish tank while 3 months pregnant seemed like a good idea. However, since Bella got here we haven't kept it up and it gets gross. So we decided to send the fish to the great pond, aka. the one at my parents house. I have hopes for the catfish but I am afraid the little one will get eaten. Oh well, survival of the fittest, at least in the pond they'll have a fighting chance. Eric and I are both going a bit stir crazy. We are hoping to get out to kohls, Target or Wal-Mart tomorrow to walk around a bit.

We had yet another Top Chef evening, We believe we have mastered the pizza making skills with a little work still needed on the crust. The secret: you'll have to come try it out to find out. We also almost forgot to take a picture of it so here it is after we devoured the first two pieces. Delicious!


















We are truly looking forward to tomorrow. Eric is marinading a brisket as we speak and we're having the Averill's over for an early supper. Bella LOVES spending time with her Nana and Poppy, and we LOVE that Nana puts the baby to bed for us. It's a win-win!

Wish me luck on getting any sleep with this congestion and cough. oh yeah, and any advice on warming a kids pool let me know!
