Our rest of the week

Well turns out that Riordan and Teagan were not sick, but sick from bad milk. You'd think I'd check it when they wouldn't finish it both mornings. (I don't give milk when the get sick the rest of the day and try again the next morning) Yep, sure enough as soon as I gave them good milk they were just fine!

We still took it easy. But I didn't get much sleep all week because sweet angel Aislinn decided to nurse all night long four nights in a row. So I had to cancel going to a friend's baby shower Friday night and when Mike got home I went to bed.

Saturday morning was Caden's last t-ball game. It was COLD. The girls and I went to Target, while the boys went to the game. It was 34 degrees! Yes it's normal to get that cold, but not till January or February. I did some last minute shopping. Still have to get two more gifts, but I will officially be done!

We had Brunch with Santa at Seville. The German's had an 11 reservation and ours was at 11:30. Let's just say it was very unorganized, and next year if they do it should be a bit more better. We were sat at a cleared table and sat for about 10 minutes when the manager came over and asked if we had a reservation! I was a bit appalled! I calmly said, yes and the hostess sat us here. He began to apologize and asked if anyone had been to our table. I said nope.

The kids at this point were restless and ready to see Santa. Mike and I hardly got any food, and my food (eggs benedict) was a hard boiled egg! The chef remade it, but it took 15 minutes. At this point everyone was ready to go and we were over the whole brunch aspect.

The Santa was beautiful and worth our long wait. Teagan freaked out, so we ended up with a family portrait. I was a bit slumped in the picture so it's not going to look very pretty. The boys really enjoyed their visit. Riordan asked for a train and Caden asked for a NEW bike! Ay me! How do I swing that one? He doesn't need a bike!! We have a perfectly good used one in the garage, but he said it was old. The train we can do for Riordan. Thankfully Caden did write a letter to Santa a week or so ago and asked for Care bears for he, Riordan, and Teagan, a Webkinz Cat, and a Charlie and Lola game. So I think that should suffice and maybe a note from Santa ;-)

This is our second year in a row doing something with the German's for the holidays and let me tell ya I can't wait to see what we do next year!

Riordan has a good case of croup and a cold right now. Hoping he gets better for his party for Christmas at school on Tuesday. He was coughing so hard last night he got sick. Poor baby. He took a very long hot bath trying to get warm, a small fever and slept with us all night long.

The best news was Aislinn slept all night too! She woke up at 6 to eat and is still back to sleep at 7:20!! 

Mike is taking Caden to church today, the youngers will just think it's a school day for Caden. I'm supposed to help with the Angel Tree Party today, but I'm sick with a sore throat and stuffed nose. Not sure I should go and keep resting here at home. Decisions.

We have a busy week ahead!

Caden's tball party Monday night at Peter Piper Pizza, a date night with my girls on Tuesday which was originally a date night with Mike to a Christmas Party, but he had a dinner opportunity to drum up more business so that comes first, Wednesday we may or may not be having dinner with the whole Malloy crew. Aislinn will not for the life of us take a bottle so the earliest I can leave is 6:30 praying she goes down, and Amy's mom can sit for them that late and we are meeting in Scottsdale. That alone is hard for me if I needed to get back to Aislinn quickly. 45 mins away and a hungry baby will break my heart! So it may not work out after all and Mike and I will have a date night then. (our sitter hasn't been able to do weekends for the whole month of December!) Thursday is the last day of school for the boys for Winter Break and Friday is Caden's Birthday!! And Amanda German's too! We are going to go to Build a Bear and see the Santa there. Just say hi, or try for another picture if we can!

Friday I'm also getting my roots done and a very very overdue haircut! It has been since June!

Saturday is Amanda's birthday party at Rollie Pollies, then Sunday is church and Monday is Christmas Eve! All the Malloy's are coming here and hopefully the Tripp family. Trying to figure out what to do for food since our church is having Christmas Eve service and I really want to go to that. They have 4 service times too, so Mike and I can switch since going last year with the children was a disaster! LOL It will all work out the way it should ;-)
