No more layouts?

I have been so bad at making layouts this year, it is almost March and the total number of layouts I made (drums.....) is ..... 1!!!

I do like this layout, the photo is from Carnival at school 2 weeks ago. My little boy was wearing this cute suit with a hat (and he wore it all day!).


What else has been happening here since there are no layouts. Not much really, my energy level just seems a bit low (as I usually have around this time of year, still winter but longing for Spring, just not enough hours of light I guess). Well, since I came back from Aruba we have been celebrating the 5th birthday of Milan on Feb.5th and a couple of days later we had this Carnival party at the school of our boys. Then they had Spring Break for a week but we both had to work so there weren't a lot of special events for them! Only last weekend we went to the lights parade in Cothen, where my mom lives... they really enjoyed watching that Carnivals Parade and it's extra special to see all the little lights! I will put the photos on my Flickr page soon!

Tuesdaynight we went to see a gig of two Dutch singers Nick & Simon, I had bought the tickets in an impulse and it was better than I expected. The only thing is that I felt soooo old, there were lots of kids and teenage girls to watch them too! You know when I felt old?? When they did More than Words and the Wham Medley!! I knew every word of the lyrics!

Here's a video I found on youtube from their tour:



And now this week they are back in school again and we are counting down the days until we go to Florida!! It's 58 days from today.

Of course I had to think about our flight when I saw the horrible news about the plane crash in Amsterdam yesterday but I know flying is the safest way of transportation so I don't want to worry about it too much.



Well, just one more day until the weekend, my mom turns 65 on Saturday but she doesn't have time to celebrate so we will in October when we go on a short break to Belgium!

Have a great weekend!

One more night...party!

Hi,

Only 1 more night on the count down calendar! I can't believe it has been 5 years since I gave birth to my youngest... It was quite a story and I often tell people around this time of year that he was born 1 hour later than he was supposed to be born! On Feb 3rd I heard that Milan would be born by a scheduled c-section on Thursday (Feb 5th). It feels a bit weird to know that your baby will be in your arms the day after tomorrow but well... it was how I wanted it (for good reasons).

Anyway we had to get to the hospital really early in the morning and I would be the first in to deliver the baby. So I was all ready for it (and far more nervous than I was for the (emergency) c-section I had 19 months earlier)! But there was no doctor to do the surgery! Turned out they had forgotten to give her the planning for that day and she was still at home and in bed!

Luckily the doctor on ward had time to deliver our baby but by that time it was an hour later than planned!







And can you believe this is my almost 5 year old now??
