Project 3 of SB week: playing the preggo card....AGAIN!

The above photo montage from Jillian's shower is my attempt to hold you over with some nice eye candy until tomorrow. Here's the story:

We didn't exactly get to the store for more ink, but I did get to Mike's to get some adhesive. Confused? Yeah, me too. What was I thinking buying adhesive? What did I expect to adhere? Oh well, I was able to use it for a few things today.

Well, I started to get some things done, scrapbook wise, and then the sleepies hit so I had to take a nap. I've got my book from yesterday just waiting for photos. I PROMISE I'll get ink tomorrow. If you are wondering, the title of yesterday's project is: Simple Pleasures.

Today's project is a lame excuse for a scrapbooker. I cheated and bought a pre-made book at Mike's on sale for $20!!! Poor Jillian isn't even here and she's already being treated with the second child syndrome! I just thought this way at least I have the backbone of a pregnancy scrapbook and all I have to add is photos (which is not doable right now) and the little extras.

So....tomorrow I will work on these two projects whole-heartedly. The Simple Pleasures won't take long at all and today's cheater book shouldn't be too bad, either.

Photos of both coming soon. Pinkie swear!

The cake monster

Yesterday the ladies in the neighborhood playgroup hosted a baby shower for one of our own due in July with baby boy #2. Gifts were optional, though everyone had something to "shower" her with. Afterall, just because it's baby #2 doesn't mean EVERYTHING should be hand-me-downs, right?

The first thing that Dominic saw as we entered the kitchen was the cake. He pointed and squealed, "Cake!!". This is just one of the 60 or so words in his ever expanding vocabulary. He didn't forget about it either. Not even when I tried to distract him with the plush Brobee doll. (It seems that EVERYONE but D has one of these.)
Note to self: go by Tuesday morning this afternoon and pick one up!!

When it was time for cake, punch and present opening, D sat on my lap and shared my cake with me. After each bite he would say, YUM! So cute! He even enjoyed a little watered-down punch in his sippy.



There were 9 of us moms there: 6 boys and 3 girls. The majority are walking by now although a few are just days from taking their first steps, I predict.

L and I discussed the possibility of going to toddler storytime at the library this morning, but she couldn't reschedule the exterminator. She did, however, invite us over this afternoon for some play time. Our AC is out in the front of the house and she couldn't stand us being miserable in the 90 degree heat of summer.

If we end up having a visit, I'll be sure to post pictures accordingly.

In other news, D got his haircut yesterday. He looks so grown up. Check it out:
