Week 1 done

First week of school is in the books and really only four more until maternity leave!  I am very lucky to only have 32 kids in my class as the last two years there have been 39 in 6th grade.  It seems as though I have a pretty nice class, hormones usually change things once spring hits.  It was hard to get back into the swing of things.  The kids went to preschool all week and did great waking up and getting ready in the morning.  They will spend one day a week with Lupe and the rest at school.  Annie starts dance class again next week and Logan will watch unless he wants to participate.  They are still working on basic movements, following directions and waiting their turn.

Both kids spent time in the pool this week and weekend as the weather has been nasty in ramona this week.  They can both swim across the jacuzzi without floaties and one day when I figure out where I stashed my camera I will video tape it.  Both kids also do a good job of jumping off the side of the pool.  They have been attempting dives as their older cousins practice and practice.  Logan decided yesterday to try and do a front flip in the water with his floaties and got around a couple of times.  The good and bad of having older cousins to learn from.

I finally got into the babies room this weekend to sort and organize.  The crib, swing, changing table and clothes are all ready to go. The rest of the room is a disaster.  I was very fortunate to have two friends pass on clothes to this boy and their are a ton!  I went through 3 crates of just 0-3 month clothes and just picked the ones I liked and put the rest back.  We have a good stash of diapers and wipes, blankets and burp cloths - now I just need to remember how this whole baby thing works.  I truthfully don't remember much from the twins, there are some things and moments that I will never forget but there is a lot that I have no clue about.  I am nervous about caring for three small children and fret about not getting enough sleep and being cranky with Annabelle and Logan when they won't deserve it.  Here's to hoping Johnny is an easy going baby :)

The house is coming along.  I got our room as organized as much as possible without using Robert's closet as there is some plumbing that needs to be done through the wall.  Our bathroom is good to go and everyday I am amazed at how big it is.  Just wish it wasn't so hot because I want to take a bath!  The gun safe is safely put away and stocked nicely and there is now shelving in the "garage" for all of our storing needs.  Robert is putting together the gym and bought a shed that has way too many
pieces for a hot summer day.  We are still looking for a dining room table, need to tackle the mold
issue in the laundry room and hopefully figure out some kitchen appliances.  The yard will need major attention in good time but for now we are enjoying our patio in the morning with coffee and in the afternoon to soak in the afternoon breeze as the kids and dog play.

I promise to try and find the camera and continue to post as the chaos is only going in increase.  Baby is coming October 3rd!
