We made it through the first week!

Helloooooo! Thank you to those concerned with me for not posting for over a week! What a week it has been!
We are dealing with 60-70% humidity, which is like 100% back home, so it has really been kicking my rear!
Plus this cold is still lingering!
Caden's first day of school went pretty good! As he walked in, he was trying so hard not to lose it, and he did cry a little in his room, but when I picked him up, he on his own said goodbye to his teacher, and I knew we were good to go. Everyday since then had been great and Kristi and I even started carpooling on Wednesday instead of waiting till next week! That has been a huge help for both of us! Cashton likes a morning nap, so she does drop off for the Caden's and I pick up! Teagan likes to sleep in so it really has been great!
The week went great and we are getting into a routine quickly with breakfast in the morning for all, then Caden off to school. After pick up we all eat sandwiches, YES sandwiches! If you know my children they don't ever like to eat them, but this week we did! Then a 30 mins on the t.v. and then we all go down for a nap. Then playtime around the house while I cook dinner. So no time to sit down this week at all for me to update the blog :(
I had contacted the school about issues that didn't seem to be getting resolved or just getting "I don't know's" still and after the first day of school I found it unacceptable. I didn't want to be 'that mom', but we as a lot of us have been disappointed in the way Basha High School has handled Kindersteps. Seems we are getting some progress now, but curbside pickup isn't in place yet, which I was told on Wednesday would be by next week. The bright shining star is Ms. Hansen their teacher. She has been teaching for 7 years and is just so warm, nuturing, and patient, and funny from what Caden tells me ;-) So the admin department needs work is all and with about the whole class of us, they don't stand a chance to let things fall to the wayside anymore.
I got a night out with Kristi too on Wednesday, where we went to the Coach store to upgrade my handbag the girls got me to the fabulous Multi-Functioning / Diaper bag! After 4 babies, I think I deserve it! It's just beautiful! Then we hit Kona for amazing sushi, prepared at the counter and the chef custom made me a shrimp tempura roll with cream cheese and avocado and my mouth is still watering from it! And I'm craving Kristi's crab crunch roll too, holy moly the second time around on that one worked for me!
My sister made it back from their adventure Thursday afternoon, so we got Patsy Grimaldi's for dinner, seriously the best pizza ever and hugely competitive with Fellini's from Atlanta for my southener's. They all had a great time and her pictures were just so amazing. I can't wait till our zoo is older to do things like that! So great that AZ has so much to offer for outdoor things, especially during the summer when it's so blazing hot. This humidity has cut on the oven feel, our temps have stayed in the 90's and below, but I don't like the feeling of needing a shower either, so I don't like either of it LOL. Speaking of shower!
We have been getting a ton of rain and thunderstorms! Yesterday we got hit by a big one at 5pm. It scared little Teagan though. It literally rained buckets, cats, dogs, and anything else for a good 30 mins. A good soaking as my dad would call it.
Yesterday too, I dont' know if it was because of the storm, I was experiencing light contractions again and cramping, so I got into bed right after dinner at 5:30 with a big bottle of water, and fell asleep at 6:30! I didn't get out of bed until 6:30 this morning! LOL It was a much needed rest, because I didn't feel too rested this morning either with a headache.
I'm taking the boys to see 'Ratatouille' finally at the 10:10 showing at our new theater. They are ready to leave now! Mike and Teagan will have a morning to themselves. He says they are going out ;-)
So an easy weekend for us, nothing else planned besides church. I have just a couple of pictures of Caden from his first day at school, he really didn't want his picture taken. Didn't want to aggravate him at all on his first day, but his second day no problem ;-)
This week will be a tough one. Mike is off to Monterey of all places Thurs-Saturday. I have a movie night with Kristi on Tuesday to see 'No Reservations'. Friday I have my OB appt, and Saturday the boys and I are going to see "Go Diego Go!" Mike had this trip come up after so I'm still trying to sell our tickets for he and Teagan .... Stubhub by Monday, here I come!
Mike and Caden are out getting us breakfast, I'm so hungry .... so off to get a quick snack until then!
