Home Again, Home Again

Aaaaaaand I'm home. Vacation over. Boo. Vacations always seem so long at the start, but they always manage to fly by - on the last day, I found myself thinking about all the things I had planned to do, and had not managed to fit in. But it was a very nice vacation, with lots of time spent visiting and relaxing.

But back to the real world. Or at least sort of. Tonight I should have been doing chemistry homework, but instead, I designed the invitation for Liam's first birthday party (which isn't until September). Oh procrastination, how I love thee... The bad news is I have a LOT of chemistry to do in the next two days. However, the good news is that Liam's invitation is going to be darling. If I do say so myself. I traced the "newborn" sized onsie that he wore home from the hospital, and also traced a "12 month" sized onsie that he is wearing now, and I am going to attach them together with a brad so that you can swing the smaller one off the bigger one to reveal the party details. Like I said - darling. It does present some logistical problems, though. First and foremost - how to mass produce it. Hmm. I am milling over ideas, including printing on vellum and taping it onto the onsie cutouts. I will have to scour Michael's for very big paper to make the cutouts on. It's a tall order, but in Michael's I trust! It is true that the project was shameless procrastination, but I do think that the invitation project will take quite a while, so it is probably not the worst thing that I started it now.

Also today I had Liam make his daddy a Father's Day card. I wrote it out, and put him in his high chair armed with a Crayola marker. I thought he would make some marks on the page, at least accidentally. But no. He just wanted to eat the pen. So I ended up coloring on his hands and having him make hand prints. Or rather hand smudges. I also colored one foot and did a foot print - that came out much better than the hand prints! Daddy will be recieving a CD of Pink Floyd songs done into lullabies. I am eager to listen to it. It definitely sounds interesting, and I am sure Liam's Daddy will dig it.
