Oh, Angie! He's beautiful! From the pictures, it looks like he has your eyes. So glad he had a great day. My DS will celebrate his 7th birthday next Saturday - I can't believe he's this old! He decided at the last minute that he wanted a dinosaur theme. Good thing his mom has a printing business or his invitations might not have gone out in time! We're having his party at a local gymnastics place. They have huge jumpers, slides, ball pits, everything - and it's all inside!

Amy - sorry you're feeling not-so-great! Hope you're not coming down with something. You're probably just worn out! It's TOM here and I could seriously eat the paint off the walls!

I just finished making DS's lunch and snack for tomorrow as well as my lunch. I laid out clothes for both kids and for me. I know we're all going to have a tough time going back tomorrow after being out of school for over 2 weeks. I thought I would make it easier on myself and try to get everything organized.

DH and I took photos at a Mardi Gras ball last night - We're in Louisiana, so Mardi Gras is HUGE here. We even get out of school for two days in February for it! I took the posed shots in front of a backdrop and DH and another of our photographers took the "party pics" inside the main room. It was fun. The later it got, the drunker they got, so needless to say, the last few I took were crazy! We were done by 10, had the truck loaded by 10:20, and DH and I realized that neither of us had eaten since noon. Since the kids were at my parents', we went out to eat. I've NEVER eaten dinner that late in my entire life - except maybe at a slumber party! LOL! We went to Logan's and I had the most amazing salad - which is really saying something since I would usually rather eat dirt than eat a salad. It's called the Anything and Everything Salad. It has a big bed of romaine, dried cranberries, toasted walnuts, chopped boiled egg, chunks of bleu cheese, a mequite-grilled chicken breast, and a balsamic vinegrette. It was wonderful! I know some of those things aren't so great on the plan, but there was just a sprinkling of each, so it wasn't like sitting down and eating a bowl of dried cranberries or a block of bleu cheese.

Okay, off to bed. 5 a.m. will come really early tomorrow!!

Angie- you've got a heartbreaker on your hands for sure! Those eyes!! I bet he is pooped from his big party! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Felicia- I've been out of commission with this cold for the last three days. I feel like I've had more colds this past year than ever before?! I used to be the type who never got sick...maybe it's stress with school? On top of the cold it's TOM here too! Yikes! I like your analogy to eating the paint off the walls- I can relate! You've got to share the Dino-themed invites! How did you get involved in the printing bus? Sounds like a lot of fun! I'm always the invite designer for any parties being held...I can't imagine actually having the equipment to do it!

Luckily I was able to relax and get sleep this weekend. I'm hoping to feel better in the morning- I go back to school as well! I'm sad my free time is over, but am actually looking forward to the routine aspect. Makes eating so much easier for me.

Night all!

One last post before bed..

Dionne.. Hope everything is ok with your kiddo!!!

Have a great night all, and my the POP be with you..
