Happy Saturday Everyone!!

Hi

It is mid-morning UK time and I am just now getting around to working on some pixel painting after spending all day yesterday helping my brother and sister-in-law cleaning their house from top to bottom before their eldest son returned from holiday in France with his maternal grandparents.

My brother has to drive through to Edinburgh to pick them all up at the airport at the back of 11pm tonight.

My third nephew (or first niece) is due in around a month's time. My sister in law is due in the middle of May with baby number three. Regardless of the sex of the baby this will be the last baby they will be having.

Now the house is almost ready (nursery included) for the new baby coming. My brother has a few small jobs to complete (they have just had an extension added to their home which took over a year because of problems with workmen etc.,) and some furniture to build and everything is ready for the baby's arrival.

Anyway now I have fulfilled my obligations to help put their house back in order (it took nearly all day yesterday to clean the children's rooms and the playroom) for school starting back on Monday morning. Due to the fact that my sister-in-law has been unable to work for the last couple of months due to complications with her pregnancy (she is prone to high blood pressure, she had this with both her other babies) and she has had very bad exhaustion with this one making her unable to work, come Tuesday I am back on school runs. Taking my eldest nephew to school in the morning, driving the younger one straight to nursery afterward as well, I also have to pick up the youngest at lunch time from Nursery, babysit him, and then return for his older brother when school finishes.

If we are lucky my sister-in-law is home and doesn't have a doctor's appointment or pre-natal clinic, I can take both boys straight home.

Anyhow with life back to normal come Tuesday I am hoping to get some pixelling done this weekend so I have some content to add to my pixel site this week.

Fingers crossed, that is, that my brother doesn't need any help before then. But I wouldn't be surprised if my eldest nephew wants to come visit us tomorrow since he hasn't seen us since he come off school for the holidays.
