boys at the museum...

We went to the museum last week and Kai and Li had great fun in the Kid's Gallery. They loved the little kitchen and didn't want to leave. I re-joined for this year, so we will go often I hope.
Things have been very busy for us, what's new. Eli has been busy working with Brad on the bar. They seem to be moving full-steam ahead, I am really excited to see the outcome of their labor.
Liam is pretty sick tonight. He is wheezing again and so I think I will take him to the doctor tomorrow. He had this same thing same time last year. I hope this doesn't mean he has any asthma, as the doctor we saw last year said that if it comes back it is a good chance he does have it. We will see. I think I will sleep in with Liam and Kai tonight just to monitor him tonight.
Will keep you posted...

April is gone... May is flying by...

I can't believe it's already half way through 2008... This year is speeding by for me.
We have all been doing pretty well. The kids are recovering from what seems like a 2-month long cold/virus/flu. Kai got it pretty bad and had a huge cold sore on his nose for a while. Last week was something out of an episode of Super Nanny (minus the help of Super Nanny), with the kids home sick, Eli at work and me holding forte.
Luckily I had some help from my loving aunties, but even with their help it was pretty crazy. Kai was just feeling so crappy and I think a bit of cabin fever and he became really naughty. I had a really hard time getting him t listen and my disciplining tactics became more and more all-over-the-place. I feel like I am back on track now, but still have a lot to learn during those really tough times.

Eli is working a lot lately. He has been working nights the last week, but luckily tonight is his last for a while. He will start work on Brad's Bar this week...Hooray. It will be nice to have him to close to home.

Last weekend I went out and caught up with some old...old friends. It was an impromptu arrangement and not something I usually would instigate, but it turned out to be a lovely evening. I was a little nervous, but that passed during the night. The had flathead and chocolate cake for dessert. I haven't done the girls night out thing for so long, it was a real treat.

Mother's Day was really nice. We all went to Chaddy so I could buy some boots, which I did. They are pretty groovy and I can't wait to wear them out.

Will try and post more frequently as I know this is a good source to get the latest on the Power-Golub clan. And, no Grandpa, my hands haven't fallen off, they are just so busy wiping bottoms...pouring juice... putting in DVDs... washing hair, brushing teeth... etc etc, ha ha
