Post-birthday
I had a nice day yesterday - I was just with the little ones most of the day, but Jamie kept coming in to me (like he was reminding himself!), kissing my cheek and telling me "happy birthday", and once or twice, "you're so pretty, mummy". I love my little boy.
I was almost knocked clean over by the thoughtfulness of the DDE girls. Take a look at all the cards they made me!
Phew!! I am so lucky to be able to call these ladies friends.
Not much planned for today - we went to Mass this morning, and I'm just cooking lunch now. I realised yesterday that I've been working a few months ahead of myself with my Digital Artist Magazine CT layouts. I've done the December ones, but the ones due in three days time? Nope! LOL. I don't have many Halloween photos, because my kids have never really trick or treated, or dressed up in any way, shape or form for Halloween - except my 15 year old who has been into it the last few years with her cousin and my SIL, who is American. I don't think Halloween is bad, or anything like that, and I would actually like to dress up the little ones into something sweet (and I still may do this year) but there is just nobody else that I know of here in England that makes a big thing of it (oh, and my dad and the inlaws would about call child services if they thought I was 'celebrating' it). So I guess a couple of layouts are on the cards in the next few days!
Something else I need to do in the next few days is organize my almost-18-year-old driving lessons! She's had her permit for a few months now (they can drive here at 17) but she was busy with college and exams, so we never got around to booking them. DH was also supposed to take her out for a bit of practice, but that didn't happen either. Busy busy busy. I am so scared for her to start, but for all the wrong reasons (now, my fifteen year old on the other hand, scares me for the RIGHT reasons). She is SO cautious. Even when she's in the car with me, her dad, or anybody, she jumps as we pass side roads where there's a car waiting to pull out, or if we don't brake early enough in a queue of traffic. You should have seen her on the go-karts at the beach. She was driving around like she was on a country lane! I know it's something she will get used to, and I'm lucky that she is cautious enough to notice these things. I guess we'll have to see how she goes. I have a feeling she'll be like me, and pass first time (unlike DH, who took four or five times!)
I did scrap again yesterday, in the midst of the all the loving from Jamie. I've always loved this imperfect photo of Anna that I took on fathers day, and these papers by DaniB - and these lyrics seemed to match so perfectly.
And lastly, have you seen the new Digichick Dezine? The kit this month is divine (have a look inside for my LO with it). Have fun!
