Julie - I am in the process of loading the pics. The light is not great on the photos but you'll get the idea. I'm sure Marley is not going to be overly tall, Chelsea is the tall one, so I'm sure she won't mind a shorter boyfriend LOL!!! He may have to get in line, Oscar and Nixon had their eyes on her LOL! Your DH must be a very clever man, he should really go to his reunion, I would love to see the look on those teachers faces. He should be very proud of himself. I am like you, when DH is working, I stay up so late and just check BB and other internet sites relating to kids clothes etc. Before I know it, its 1am! I usually regret it the next morning.

IK - you won't know what to do with yourself without the books! It will be nice to have some time with Oscar and DP without worrying about studying. I'm sure we can get some inspiration going for you and you can paint up a storm!

My dad couldn't decide on what to buy Marley so he asked me to shop for him. Went over to Baby Bunting and got my sleeping bag/footmuff for my pram and I also got one of the Latitude Enfant knitted toys. They are so adorable and very unique. I got her Gabin the Zebra. At least she will have something from her pa that she can keep and remember. Also got her one of those bibs that catch the food! She drops so much food from her highchair that hopefully this will help. I am so not organised for this party tomorrow, thankfully its only family. I still haven't cooked the cake and I am out for dinner tonight. Might have to be baking at midnight! I'm sure it will all be good tomorrow (fingers crossed).

My GF sent me this poem that I thought all of you could relate to

What did I do today

I hope my children look back on today,
And see a mother who had time to play.
There will be years for cleaning and cooking,
for children grow up while we are not looking.


Today I left some dishes dirty;
The beds got made around 3:30.
The nappies soaked a little longer,
The odour grew a little stronger.
The crumbs I spilled the day before,
Are staring at me from the floor.
The fingerprints there on the wall,
Will likely be there still next fall.
The dirty streaks on those windowpanes
Will still be there next time it rains.
Shame on you, you sit and say,
Just what did you do today?


I held a baby till she slept,
I held a toddler while he wept.
I played a game of hide and seek;
I squeezed a toy so it would squeak.
I pulled a wagon, sang a song,
Taught a child right from wrong.
What did I do this whole day through?
Not much that shows, I guess that' s true.
Unless you think that what I've done,
Might be important to someone,
With deep blue eyes and soft blonde hair,
If that is true...I've done my share.

Just added some photos to my site inc the canvases. Light is pretty poor, sorry!
