1 girl + 2 boys: Our Labor Day Weekend Stay-cation

We had a great weekend. I decided to call it our "stay-cation," because that's truly what it was. We decided not to go anywhere for the long weekend, because we've all had a very busy few weeks. Staying home was just what we all needed. But, we had a lot of fun and managed to cram a bunch of stuff into the past few days.

Friday night, we had a family movie night in our jammies. I love these and hope we will continue to have them for a long, long time.

Saturday, we took our last trip of the summer to the town pool. The water was a little chilly, but we all had a great time.

When we got home, the kids had an impromptu naked dance party in their room. It was hilarious and I can't wait to use this picture as black mail in the future! It will also be a great one to show the boyfriends and girlfriends who come through. I also plan on using it when the three of them are not getting along. I'll just whip this picture out and say, "See? Look how sweet and cute you all were back then!"

Sunday, we went to one of our favorite playgrounds in the neighboring town of Cheshire. We love this park. There are so many different things to play on there. Everyone had a blast.

Even Daddy had fun!

Stella was being a great big sister. She really enjoyed taking Max around and helping him get up to the slides.

The tire swing was by far the funnest thing there for Stella and Colby. Daddy gives the best pushes!

Today, we went to our first Rock Cats game. The Rock Cats are a minor league baseball team in New Britain, Connecticut. Today happened to be "fan appreciation day" and tickets were only $1. We figured this would be the perfect opportunity to show the kids what a real baseball game is like.

At the beginning of the game, all three kids were really excited. There was music playing and lots of stuff to look at.

Max had fun clapping and dancing to the music.

But, as the game went on, the kids got really bored. Stella only made it until halfway through the 1st inning before she started whining about being hot and thirsty and hungry and tired. We made them wait until the end of the 2nd inning before we treated them to some Italian ice.

We ended up leaving right after the 5th inning which was honestly a lot later than I thought we would be there. The kids did great and at least Kelsey and I had a good time!

We played outside when we got home and I surprised the kids with water balloons. We were all soaked within a few minutes. Then Kelsey started a fire in our new fire pit and cooked our dinner over the flames. He was pretty proud of his barbecue chicken....

For dessert, we headed back out to the fire to make some s'mores.
