Keepin' up with the DePolo's: Week in Review

Oh boy...it's been a crazy week. We had a birthday party for Juli which started off last weekend. Good dinner with friends, we carried on in to Saturday to have Dave climb Karen and Ben's tree to cut down some old branches. He loves this stuff. Get out the climbing gear and head up a tree = lots of fun for Dave. Then Tyler had some fun running under the hose with Dad = heaven for Tyler. Dave and I woke up Sunday at 6am and both didn't feel well at all. We spent Sunday fighting a nasty stomach bug (along with most of our friends and neighbors) and Dave was totally out of commission while I was able to keep the kids in track until Grammy 911 (Dave's Mom) came to the rescue to help us out - phew! Thank goodness for bubble guns. I laid in the yard and kept that thing blowing bubbles while Tyler ran around like a nut and I didn't have to move until Gram arrived. Dave was supposed to leave for CA on Sunday and had to cancel his flight because he couldn't get on a plane the way he was feeling. Dave's Mom stayed overnight and woke up with the baby so we could both get some sleep. I woke up on Monday feeling better and refreshed and Dave was still not 100%, but ended up going to CA on Monday.

So Tyler, Zac and I forged on through the week and by Wednesday night I was having a major breakdown. Our feisty 2 year old along with my lack of sleep had worn me down to the point of breaking. In between waking up to feed Zac, I was also investigating an alleged crocodile sighting in Tyler's room at 1:30 am one night. Thankfully, Grammy 911 (my Mom) planned to come down Thursday morning and stay until Saturday. My Mom arrived and the rest of the week was really good. We had some walks in the summer like weather, I got to fit in a run, Nichole and the girls came down for a sleep over, Dad came home Saturday night and April, Joe and Asa came for a visit on Sunday. All's well that ends well :)
