Our Week in Review

Musical Court Dates, Twister Party, and Dancing Princesses...it's been a wild week for us in Kaz...

Tuesday:
Tuesday was a strange day all around. In the morning at our visit we were informed that our visits would be changed from the morning to the afternoon. When your life revolves around visitation times, this is pretty earth shattering news! The reason for this is, a new bathing schedule is being up put in place for the kids. You wouldn't think this would cause such a commotion but I guess when you have to rotate 65 plus kids in and out of one shower room, it's a pretty big deal.  We also found out on Tuesday night that court would not be on Thursday but we didn't know when the new date would be...stress!!

Wednesday:
Wednesday was our first day at our new visitation time.  Miss Ava didn't like the schedule change at first but she adapted quickly as she always does.  We also found out that our court date would be held on Tuesday!  HIP HIP HOORAY for a quick solution.  We brought Ava a new DVD called "Twelve Dancing Princesses"  To say it was hit is an understatement.  Dancing like the ballerinas on the video is her new favorite pass time.  I mean seriously...it's replaced coloring!!!  Who would have ever thunk!  Later that night we had tacos with the Issacs and played a few fun rounds of Twister.
 

Thursday:
All geared up for our new court date and visitation time, we set out for the long drive to Cashiri.  I feel the need to take a picture every time we end our journey b/c  it still feels like such an accomplishment.  Ava continued her ballet dancing...this time a boa and wand were added to the mix. 

Is it the pregnant man and pregnant four year old?  Nope, just Ava and James having fun with balloons!!!

Friday:
On Friday James and I were feeling a little sick of dancing princesses and tried to introduce a new movie.  Ava is too smart for us...she found her princess DVD and her boa and picked up were she left off the day before.  Today she added they fun sticks to her dance routine.  On Friday we also found out that court has been moved to MONDAY!!!!!!  Is it possible that someone out there is actually thinking of what's best and easiest for us??  It seems so.  In the village it is very common to have two court dates.  The judge is going to try to do ours in one session but in case he needs to do it in two, he wants to see us on Monday so that we can get our second hearing in before the end of the week.  Yay for an awesome Judge!  So, court will be MONDAY at 11:00 am for us.  If you are awake , say a little prayer for us at that time.   

Saturday:
Today Ava was not into changing her outfit and we didn't feel like forcing it so the lovely outfit you see below was not our doing.  Almost every day we are stopped by a parade of horses and I can never get my camera out in time.  Today we got lucky!  Ava was great today.  We wont see her tomorrow and we'll hopefully be able to see her after court on Monday.

Cutest game of hide of hide and seek I've ever seen.

We'll post with some good news on Monday.  Have a great weekend!
