Life goes on

Tax season is coming to an end so that means that I don't have to spend so much time in front of the computer with my head buried and nose to the grindstone. I am going back to my old work routine and more fun time spent with the kids. I just hope that the weather changes here soon so that we can get out and enjoy some time together. I feel lucky that the weather has been awful lately as I have been stuck inside working. So I haven't felt like I have missed much.

I took the kids to Northland Village to see "Miss Spider's Sunny Patch". What and experince that was. It felt that there were millions of peole crammed into a couple of square feet of space. But the kids loved it and had fun dancing and singing with Miss Spider. So I guess every once in a while it's worth my discomfort be give them an experience like that.

I was thinking of taking Lolo to Thomas who is rolling into Heritage Park on my birthday, but it is just too much money and I don't even know if that price gets you into the park. And really they don't get much for the money that parents are expected to dole out for this experience. I guess he won't care cause I am not telling him.

My birthday is coming up and I still have no idea what Sean is going to do or IF he is doing anything at all.

Sean is going to be in school here again May 4 for another couple of months. So I am stressed to the max about money as there will be none for 2 months. Well there is EI..but that really doesn't count.

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.
