What a weekend!

We had a long one, and busy one!
Friday night we hit our neighbor's pool, they are out of town in Mexico!. Saturday Mike played his golf game with Jeff and didnt get home till 2 pm. We made it to the Tripp's home at 4 and had such a great time. The children play together so wonderful and Lauren bonded with Aislin for a bit, falling asleep on my growing belly. We made it home at 8 pm and crawled into bed.
Sunday we made it to church, then to Chili's, back home for a nap, and then to Uncle John and Aunt Amy's pool were we swam a lot! It was so nice! Riordan decided he could swim and dove into the pool of the steps where he and I were sitting. You have never seen a pregnant girl move so fast! Thank God he didn't inhale the water and he really wasn't frightened. But he didn't try it again! Caden tried to get braver with swimming but it's going to be a while before he trusts himself in the water again after last years swimming lessons. Teagan has absolutely no fear and I had to grab her a few times as well. Neither her or Riordan like to wear life gear, and scream if you attempt it, so we just never leave their sides. Riordan will use his duck float and has really gotten good and kicking himself around the pool.
Monday I wanted to go to Scottsdale fashion square for clothes for me. They have a babystyle and Pea in the Pod. All of us went up and we got there before the mall opened. We had a great time! I got a few shirts at Babystyle, but I was looking for cute resort sundresses for Hawaii and never found any in a decent price range.
Riordan has developed a funky rash that began on his ankle and is creeping it's way up his leg. He did this last year, but it started on his arm. I have been putting topical Benadryl on it, because he definitely scratches at it. We were supposed to go to the German's for a pool and bbq, but since I'm not sure if he's contagious (so far it's 6 days and Caden or Teagan don't have it) I didn't want to risk it. I'm feeling pretty confident it's more viral at this point than anything, which is what it was last year.
I cooked a meal for my friend Tracy Jaffie who just had her baby last week. I was in the kitchen 3 hours!! Holy smokes I haven't done that in ages!! When I went to deliver the meal, Mike took the children swimming to the neighbors. Well Teagan almost drowned 3 times, too much for one adult, and came home immediately. When I got back I took Caden over, just the two of us, to practice swimming and we had a great bonding time.
Teagan is STILL NOT WALKING!! She has really gotten her gorilla scoot down and sees no reason to walk. We give up ;-)
So today I was supposed to go to my friend Mindy's home to swim. After last night and Mike, he really didn't want me to risk it and if he was over his head, which he's so laid back about everything, then I know it would be a rough time for us.
I hardly slept last night, maybe two hours and I was ill again. *sigh* It just isn't going away....
