..and so it begins
The Christmas season mayhem, that is...
We had contacted a pro photographer, but she didn't get back to us. So last weekend...off to the dreaded Sears photo studio we went. Mika had a minor meltdown, so instead of cute shots of her dressed in her fancies, we have two somewhat acceptable post-tantrum head shots. She refused to leave Daddy's lap and neither he or I were dressed or groomed for photos at all.
This weekend starts early with Mika's Christmas Concert at the daycare this afternoon. She was coughing up a storm, snot-filled, and mildly fevered this morning, so we shall see how well this one pans out. My prediction is that she will be in her group ready to sing, see Daddy and me, and run into his arms and refuse to sing the song with her group. Nana is coming by tonight so that Daddy and I can head to my company party over at Fort Edmonton. Work parties always feature an open bar and get interesting fast. Pregnancy will keep me in line though. Meh.
Tomorrow we have Daddy's work xmas party at his boss' house. It's kid-friendly, but will likely have it's share of adult drunken silliness as well...they are AADAC staff, after all...;)
We're going to Saoirse's 2nd Birthday Party on Sunday afternoon. The girls will be swimming with their daddies..and we finally get to meet Saoirse's new sister, Brighid! Yay. We will likely end up bailing out a bit early as Auntie Laura and Drew are coming by the house in the late afternoon. They haven't seen it yet and we've been trying to arrange something for weeks. They agreed to stay for supper, which gave me a perfect excuse to decide on sending Daddy out to pick up some ribs - been craving pork ribs like mad. Gross to many, but not currently to this preggo.
Maybe Baba will be dropping in sometime too as we have had her steam cleaner since we moved and she wants it back.
16 more work days left until my mat. leave. Gah! Yikes! If anyone knows of a decent windoze sys admin who is interested in a one year contract for 2007, send them my way. It's an awesome company to work for and the users are rather entertaining.
