Kristin's first day of school

Today was Kristin's first day of school. She was very excited. She loved riding on the bus. When she got home from school she told me all about her day and told me that she has new friends. She told me that they went to the gym, and had to stand in a line and they pretended that they were a choo-choo train on the way to the gym. She had fruit snacks for snack time. She said she made a necklace and got to use some glue. And she said on the bus ride home, she sat by a girl that was the same size as her. So she had a really good day and can't wait until tomorrow when she gets to go back. Just thought I'd share her experience with you all.

Waiting for the bus.

Getting on the bus.

Coming home!

Old yarn purchase

It was requested that I share photo's of yarn I had bought a few weeks ago. So here it is. I bought some Caron Felt-It, in the colors Neon and Rose Garden, I thought those colors combined would make one funky felted bag for myself. The two skeins of Patons Classic Wool I bought in Rosewood, I don't have a plan for. I just loved the color and couldn't resist! Ok, I think I'm done posting for the day lol.

Who stole the butter?!?!?!

That's right, it was biffy who stole the butter! The little turd got into the fridge, grabbed the tub of margarine when I wasn't looking and ran into her bedroom! If it wasn't for her sister Kit ratting her out, there would have been an even bigger mess to clean up. Cute as you may think it is, it wasn't at the time. She was so greasy in the tub I had to wash her up three times, and I had to scrub the heck out of her hair to get it out. It could have been worse I guess, when Kit was her age she had gotten into a dozen eggs and broke them all over the kitchen floor, therefore I guess I could say thank goodness it was only butter! On a different note, I do have some knitting related things to write about.

Last Saturday it was my sister's bridal shower. I was helping my Auntie L carry things in from her car for the shower and she handed me a bag and said this is for you. I thought, wow for me? And then I saw what was in it, yarn and needles! Getting yarn and knitting needles out of the blue like that is the best surprise ever! Thank you so much Auntie L! On a side note, the shower was a fun, the food was great, and Sister J had fun and received some nice things. Which I won't share pictures of, so she can't get mad at me! hehehe

Ok, ok, this is suppose to be a knitting blog. Although I haven't been sharing much knitting at all. That's mainly because the only thing I've been knitting when I do pick up the needles are dishcloths. Well I finally casted on for my little sister's blanket (we'll call her little sister J) that she has been begging me for. I asked mom what her favorite color was and she said purple! So I bought the yarn about a month ago, and finally decided I better start so it will be done by Christmas, of course if I do slack there is always her birthday in February lol. She is unaware of the blanket in progress, so it's a big secret! Oh, and yes I do know that I only knitting 6 rows so far, no need to bring that to my attention LOL. The colors of the yarn that I chose are Dark Orchid and Plum Pudding.

I will definitely try to post more often, now that I found out that I have more than just a couple readers ((((BIG SMILES)))).

Haircut!

Just some pictures of Kit after I cut her hair tonight. Also a picture of all three of the girls on the loveseat.

Fun in the sun

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong... Alright, so the picture of Sissy on the lawnmower doesn't go with the girls swimming in the pool, but it's cute and she thinks she is just so big and so cool, and of course she is so I had to put it up! So the big pool is what Grandpa H got the girls for their birthday, and the little pool that biffy is in, my sister bought. They just love swimming. Speaking of swimming, I need to drain the water out of the pool, scrub it, and fill it back up, looks like that's what I'm going to be doing tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Sissy and Kit!!

Well we didn't get too many birthday pictures this year, it seems that even though I was super busy and running my butt off constantly, no one else took the initiative to pick up the camera, as in K!!!!!!! Although he did get the picture of Kit pointing at her cake that fell on the ground and he also snapped the one of biffy and kk, so that was one nice thing I guess.

Vacation Time!!!

Ok, so it's not really vacation time. We left for vacation on June 1st. and returned home on June 9th. So, yes these pictures and this post is a little late, it's me, you should expect that! Well we took a trip to West Virginia, as you can see from the sign, to see K's Grandpa. It was K, K's dad, the girls, and me that went. The drive was a bit long, but it went surprisingly well with three kids. They all slept most of the way, thank goodness for that! The girls and I have never met K's Grandpa before this trip, and K hadn't seen him in years. It was a much needed trip. The girls had so much fun. Here are a few pictures we took when we were there.

Oh yes, have to throw in a few of the way home...
