Decorations Begin!!!

well well well ....

Yesterday was a great day - Mykayla, ALicia and I went to the Indoor Playground and had a really fun time. Mykayla was sooo tired but its a great way to spend a rainy day.

I also convinced Brad to take me to staples and the dollarstore to buy art supplies so I can get started on the decorations. I am doing 3 - Alice, the cat, and the madhatter (face cut out).

TODAY!!! - YAY I worked my butt off today drawing and painting Mykaylas decorations. I got 2 done so far and am hoping to finish the 3rd tomorrow as my back is killing me... see pictures below.

HUMMMMM..... my days at home have been getting better ... although its challenging to keep a almost 3 year old busy and away from the TV. Looking forward to this Friday - YAY scrapbooking idea launch book - its a great way to get out of the house.

SAD NEWS - I got bad news today - Brad is leaving to go to Chicago on the 11th for 2.5 - 3 weeks AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW oh well at least its work.

Okay well thats all today...

Day 1 was hard

Sooooo ... I am not to suprised that I feel like I want to pull out my hair ... I had a really hard time. When we first brought Mykayla home I was a "Stay at home mom" for 4 mths, it was very difficult as we had moved to Welland - and I knew and still no nobody, we only had 1 car so brad took it to work and I felt trapped in my own house.

I thought now it would be easier as I have my own car - so Mykayla and I can go out on special trips and although I dont know anyone still out here Mykayla is older so she plays a whole lot.

My day was still very hard.... I really need to work on my pateients more and the understanding why a 3 yr old would rather eat peanut butter and jelly after I already made lunch.....

Day 2 - Going to the Indoor Playground - suppose to rain tomorrow and I dont like the TV on in the day so going out !!!

Anyone wanna come and play - we are going to go to cheeky monkeys in St. Catharines lets say at 10:00am

When one door closes another opens

Wow ... for the last three years I have been a mommy, wife, and STUDENT!!!!

My student life is coming to an end tomorrow as I write my last exam. I am very excited to be finished as I dont know how much longer I could sourround myself with some of my class mates and to be able to take some time to myself and relax. At the same time I am kind of sad that this venture is over.... I have finally finished a post secondary education - although I plan on continuing in the future it wouldn't be full time. Soooo... a chapter in my life book is closed.

My life as mommy starts again, not that it ever ended but its back on as a FULL Time position. Mykayla who is turning 3 on May 6th will be home again with me full time and July 3rd we are expecting our little boy to join our family. Its very different being home this time already as Mykayla is so advanced and has a crazy imagination ... she can play for hours by herself in her play room which really does give me time to clean the house. Not only that but I have started introducing Mykaylas chore list..lol

• She MUST feed her dog at dinner time
• Put away the towels
• Clean her room - basically arrange her toys and put clothes in hamper
• And pre-vaccum before I can vaccum

I plan at staying home with the kids for a year then Mykayla will be starting school and I will consider going back to work part time.

Staying at home is a very big change as I get bored very easily and dont want to feel like I am stuck. So this summer Mykayla plays soccer on Saturdays, Brad has Baseball friday nights - something we really enjoy going to watch. Wednesday nights I have cake decorating classes and the 2nd thursday of each month scrapbooking. I plan to introduce dance classes for myself back into the mix but have to wait and see how my body will react to breastfeeding to see if I have to wait. ooooooooooooo yes and Brad goes golfing on Thursdays with the boys.

I also plan on a once a week trip to do something fun, my list so far is this ...
