Randomness

Here I sit just trying to take it as easy as I can while waiting for the 3rd of December to arrive. That is the date that we will be welcoming our 3rd and final child into our family. I have been in the middle of the whole nesting phase, trying to get the boys' room in order and tidy the master bedroom. We got new furniture and so we had to set up the bedroom a litte differently and we are still tryin to to used to the new set up (so are the dogs).

I have been worried about who I can get to watch the kids while I am in the hospital (3 days) and while Sean in working. I am also hoping that my parents can take them for a few days when I get home from the hospital. Recovering from a c-section sucks. I hope that I can get this house in order to give the kids the feel of Christmas this year. Since Logan was born on the 7th I don't out the tree up until after his birthday. I want him to feel that his birthday is special. But the poor little guy won't get much of a party this year, just means that I may have to make it up to him next year. I hope that Ican find the time for Christmas shopping this year. Last year I went to Idaho for Black Friday and ot all the shopping done then, this year however, I am stuck at home while my sisters and sister-in-law head down to do their shopping.

The fact that this baby is coming so close to Christmas is concerning me. When I had Logan we had Seans mom living here so I didn't have to worry about things like getting the tree up or Christmas dinner, and with Sean as the Scrooge personified I really can't count on him to do it.

Oh and by the way this baby still doesn't have a name so I am putting out there for you to tell me what your favourite boys name is and if we choose one of those then there will be prize in it for the winner. I am looking for a unique name but nothing to out crazy. Logan was almost Tyrannus and Sean has put forward the name Radar for this one (sometimes it's hard to tell if he's joking). So PLEEAAASSEEE...help me out here I need ideas.

It's been too long.....

Well swimming lessons are over, and both kids have been moved up to the next level. I didn't think that Micha would as she had a hard time listening to her teacher. But I spoke to the teacher after and she said she passed because Micha has absolutely NO fear of the water. She could drop her in the water and Micha would come up and not be scarred. I just have to work on her listening skills, she doesn't like to listen at home either so it's a contstant battle.

Logan is pretty much done with his potty training, He's even tying to go on his own...only when he lifted the lid last night it came down and smuched his finger..what a cutie.

Micha is also finished her dance classes so now I have to find something else for her to do. I was thinking gymnastics but it is REALLY expensive, even tho I think that she would excel at it and maybe give her some discipline. (I wanted to post a picture and a video of her recital piece..but I seem to be having some issues with blogger. So I will get that done soon)

I seem to have 2 of the same person whe it comes to my kids. Logan is Micha's little parrott. Does EVERYTHING that she does and says EVERYTHING that she does and with the same tone of voice too. I hope that he will come into his own soon. I have a feeling that Micha's world will come crashing down on her when this baby is born cuz Lolo will finally realize that he doesn't have to take her guff anymore and she won't be able to boss him around or push him around without any reprocussions. It will be a sad day in the life of Michaela but a rewarding one in Lolo's life. i just hope that they can stop fighting..I know full well that THAT won't happen. it may end up getting worse.

Oh and on an end note I just want to say CONGRATULATIONS to Kim and Andrew Hawryluk who welcomed a daughter on June 19th!!!

Update from the House of Sands!!!

My life these days has been pretty boring. I get up and deal with the kids all day. Take Michaela to dance class on tuesdays. I try not to feel to sick all the time. I am about to end my first trimester and head into my second so hopefully I start to feel better soon, but if my other kids are any indication that won't be happening. Thank goodness for pop and diclectin.

Logan has been starting to act out more these days. I don't know if that's because he is in his terrible 2's or if he senses something is changing..you know how sensitive kids can be. It's almost like he has 2 personalities. One we call Lolo..sweet and fun and funny and loving and just a pleasure to be around. Lolo has the sweetes smile that could light up any room that he enters. The other we call Ogar...well that pretty much explains the behaviour there..OGARISH!!!!!! NASTY and ONRY and down right MISERABLE!!!! Ogar has the most ear piercing scream and cry that I have ever heard. We never know which one we are going be facing from one minute to the next. Funny how there can be 2 totally different people in one cute little boy.

Michaela, well she is coming into her own personality. She has been starting to show mre initiative but also more attittude and lippiness. But what can you expect from a three going on 15 year old. She has friend that is her same preschool and they have formed this bond that is pretty strong for their age. It is nice to see that she is able to make friends so easily. But the other day at preschool they embraced and kissed. Now I don't know if I need to be concerned that they are showing this kind of affection. I don't remember being that affectionate with my friends. So i think that I need to sit her down and expalin that there are certain kinds of affection that is not appropriate. Or maybe I just need to chalk it up to a 3 and 4 year olds friendship and leave it there and see what happens. I know that kids are prone to kiss each other, but that doesn't make the shock of seeing it happen any less shocking.

I am trying to find the energy and the time to do my house work and my bookkeeping business and my parttime job and take care of my family It seems that tese things take all my time and I don't seem to have any time for myself or hanging with my friends and just finding the time to be me. The house work suffers so i feel that I am living in a pig stye. Sean tells me that I need to ask for more help and that if I ask him to do things he will just do them. So I guess I just need to rely on him more and maybe things will end up getting done around here.

Other than that there is nothing much going in the House of Sands these days...Michaela has graduated from her first year of preschool and they are having a Carnival on her last day on friday so that will be fun. the kids are also in swimming lessons and Michaela is in her first unparented class and seeming to do very well (which doesn't surprise me at all...she's extremely bright for a 3 year old).

Enough rambling for now, just thought that I would give you an update on all the happenings and unhappenings in our little house.
Until next time..Keep fit and have fun!
