It's been a boring life....

Well it's been awhile since my last blog, but I wish that I had something to report, however, nothing really has been happening here. Michaela hs finnished her third week at playschool and she's come along way, I've already noticed a chinge in her behaviour (for the most part anyways). My days have been taken up with Dora and Little Einsteins these days and as Autumn approaches, I don't see us getting out too much. Although I have heard that Aidrie Family Services has a playgroup that meet in their building every week, so I may look into taking the kids there.

But I do have a question for all those reading this post.


What do YOU do when it is cold out to occupy the kids and allow them to have fun.
Craft ideas, recipes anyhting would be appreciated.

It seems like just yesterday...

That was then....
This is now....
It was Michaela's first day of playschool today and she just LOVED it. The teachers said she was really good and I was pleased with that as I was worried about the whole transition thing. They played with playdoh and painted and there was lots of new toys there for her to play with. She especially LOVED the indoor sandbox. I being scatter brained this morning forgot to take my camera with me to mark this occasion, but I was saved by another mom who took a couple pics of Michaela foor me and I will get them next week. I can't wait to see the changes in Michaela as we embark on this new adventure.
Logan and I spent time together and we loved that one on one time that we got. I think it'll be good for him to have some Mommy time with me. He becomes a totally different person. I think this time with just the 2 of us will be a special time for us.

Michaela turns three..and then....

So Michaela turned the big 3 on the weekwnd and I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She wants to do EVERYTHING on her own and there are things that she can do, but there are things that she is unable to do. So we had the whole family over minus a few important people. Sean did his magic and made an amazing rocket cake from the Little Einsteins and it was amazing. The kids had fun in the bounce house and couldn't get enough of it. I am ust gald that the rain stopped and the ground dried in time to set it up. I just wish the aphids weren't quite so bad. She got a ton of great gifts. We told everyone to forgo on the toys this year and just give her clothes as she is in the transition stage and is growing out of a lot of her clothes. So thank you to all those who gave her those gifts. It was greatly appreciated. After the party was done, the older boys took advantage of the bounce house and did a little bouncing of there own.

That was only one of the many pics I got. I also got some video but was unable to download it. But when I do I will let you know.

Michaela starts playschool on friday and I hope that she enjoys it. I think that leaving the home and needing to listen to a teacher will be good for her transition into kindergarten when she's 5. I knew she was ready when she started to put on her backpack and say "Mommy, lets go to school now". So I will fill you in on our school experience. I just hope that I can survive all this growing up that the kids do.
