I love this blog thing!

I just want to quickly post a blog about this blog thing. I love to get to work every morning and waste company time reading everyone's blog. It is so fun to be able to have a sense of what everyone is doing and how everyone is doing. I can catch up with old friends and I can keep up with my family. It really is a blessing to be able to use the resources we have to stay in contact with the people we love. I don't have to feel like I'm hundreds of miles away from everyone.

A little update

Okay I figure I should send a little update. Mike is doing well he goes into the urologist on Monday to do the scope thing up his wee wee. Needless to say he is not excited.

We've all had our round of sickness the last couple weeks. Michaella had strep last week and was out for 2 days and then I caught some viral upper respiratory infection and I was out for 2 days this week. So I'm pretty much out of sick time this year. Lets hope none of us get sick until 2009.

We have given to go ahead on our basement so that is now our big project for the next couple months. It is kind of exciting! Although I do not look forward to all the extra space to clean! not to mention 2 more toilets.

I've been meaning to get some Easter pics up but for some reason I can't manage to remember to do it when I get home. I will try to remember soon. well toot a loo for now I will update when I know anything more about Mike.

My not so little girl

So I don't have any real updates on Michael but I wanted to share a little about Michaella.
I have always said I got real lucky with Michaella. We have managed to come nearly 4 years with a very well behaved little girl. WELL she is bound and determined to prove us otherwise now!
I don't know if this is a phase or real colors coming through but Michaella can be a real brat lately. She is now one of those kids that runs around the store screaming hiding underneath the clothes and I'm that Mom that keeps barking "Michaella stop it! Michaella Come here right now. Kaella , Kaella, Michaella!" Or this little girl that loved dance lessons and acted like the star of the show at the last recital now has decided she doesn't like it. So she digs her heals in when she is supposed to go into class and when I finally shove her in there she sit in the middle of the room and pouts or cries. So THEN I'm that Mommy that starts bribing and when that doesn't work I start threatening "Michaella we can go and buy you a new toy if you go in and be a big girl. Kae we can go and get some ice cream. Kaella Grandma and Papa are coming next week and I'll have to call them and tell them not to come. Michaella I'm going to have to take your Barbies away!"
At home she's mouthy and bossy. She even has that bratty tone in her voice. Saturday she ended up being sent to a nap with both her Barbies and her Teddy Bear taken away. After about an hour she comes out of her room with full dramatics stretching her arms and yawning "Good Morning Mommy! That was a long nap!" I was thinking oh how cute. So I started to make her lunch and while I was getting something out of the pantry she says something about playing with her Princesses and all of a sudden she stops. I look at her and ask her if she even took a nap. She looked at her feet and said No. Then I asked her if she lied to me and she confessed "yes". I was blown away at the specifics and how much she thought out that lie. She threw in full dramatics too! She is almost 4 and she has become an expert liar! It wasn't just a did you write on the walls , NO kind of lie. It was "hmmm if I want out of here I have to had taken a nap so I have to act like I took a nap" kind of lie.
Anyway. She's still on restriction from her Barbies but she did get her Teddy back. I truly hope this is just a phase.

Update

Well the weekend went pretty well. Saturday Mike passed one of the stones with very little pain. And Sunday he really started to feel better. He is still very tired but he thinks the infection is starting to go away! YEAH! We still are not out of the woods yet but this is a really good step in the right direction.
