So that was Saturday
Saturday, January 07, 2006
I slept in today. Until 9:30, which is unbelievably late for me. It felt almost sinful to sleep so late. The babe had already been up and back for a nap again. Mr.C is a morning person, thank God. We have a new mattress cover on our bed that heats up (we can even put it on a timer!) and it is the most comfortable thing. So the day flew by after getting up so late. I tidied the house and worked on the babes' photo album (scrapbook) a little and then we all went to do some shopping. We had to buy the babe a new car seat because he's outgrown his little baby one. I also picked up the bazillion photos that I had sent in to be processed. I will not reveal how much money I spent, but let's just say there goes any further shopping for the month.
We were then off to the engagement party at a colleagues house. The time on the invitation stated 5pm to 9pm, so we were safe to bring the children. In fact, I was specifically asked to bring them because some of my colleagues have not seen the babe. My 4 year old complained the whole way there that he wanted to go to McDonald's instead, but upon out arrival, he perked up rather nicely. In fact, the entire evening was really wonderful. Mine were the only children there, but only because my colleagues have grown children or none at all. The babe cooed and was adorable all evening and my son was engaging and polite. I felt so proud of the two of them. A mother can not be more proud to hear people saying how well behaved, happy and polite their children are. It was a calm evening, with lots of nice conversation, great food and a warm atmosphere. I forgot to bring my camera, which was such a shame because I would have loved to have shared photos of the evening with you. The engaged couple liked the book I bought them and didn't take any offense at all (as I had pondered a post or two ago...).
Now the phone has just rung and it turns out I've left my purse there. They live a half hour away. I guess I was so puffed up in my proud mother feathers, that I didn't concern myself with taking anything except my beautiful children home with me. Who needs the purse, the money, the ID? I've got what matters. That's all.

Cathy, you are still using film! Not a digital lass? I am shocked! Well, if it's not medium format or B&W I am.
