Happy Early Birthday TO ME!!!!


Yes, happy early birthday to me, indeed! This morning I was snuggling on the couch with my sickie icky kids who were sleeping, when I heard a knock on the front door. I sprung up as fast as I could, because I knew who was knocking at the door. It was my mail lady bringing me a package!!! WOO-HOO!!! I ran to the front door so fast that I stubbed my damn toe on the wooden toy chest that we have in our living room right before the hallway to the front door. I really need to get that thing out to the shed, there's no room for it in here. Anyhow, so I got to the door opened it up and got my package, and almost forgot to grab my other mail from her, I was just so excited LOL. I got my other mail and thanked my mail lady and went inside. This time I did not run back to the living room in fear of hurting myself. I sat down in front of the computer and tried my hardest just to rip the box open. It didn't work, I had to bring it into the kitchen to use a knife lol. I just wanted it open and like NOW!!! lol. Once I got the box opened, there it was, all the stuff "K" ordered for me from Knit Picks! There was a hank of Wool of the Andes Bulky in navy, three skeins of Crayon in Periwinkle, three skeins of Shine Worsted in Wisteria (oh my, so totally soft!!), three skeins of Essential in Fawn, the Arctic Landscape Purse pattern (which looks way super hard to do!!), a set of point protectors (I only have three, ya I don't know what happened to the fourth, but it's gone, so I needed another set lol), size 2 and 3 circular needles, 24" knitting cables, and size 6 needle tips. So I believe this is my early mother's day/birthday present from "K". Which is fine by me, I'm just so happy that he ordered this stuff I wanted, what do ya know, he can be a great guy!!! LOL. Just kidding, I love him! But him buying me these goodies sure does help lol. So now I need to finish up a few things I have started, and knit up some dishcloths for my mom for mother's day, then I can start knitting a gauge swatch for either Biffy's tank top or her shrug, I haven't decided which one I want to do first. Oh, in case you were wondering, the crayon yarn is for her tank, and the essential yarn is for her shrug. And now I must stop talking about my goodies and stop playing with my goodies (the YARN people!!! Get your minds out of the gutter!! LOL) and get the girls some lunch and some more Tylenol.

Crime scene photos, viewer discretion advised!!




I'm sad to say that something horrible has happened tonight at our home. It appears that Mr. Brown Bear has been slain!! That's right, in our own home!! But who would do such a thing to a sweet and loving bear? After the initial shock of stumbling upon such a horrific crime scene wore off, I realized right away who did this to him! Do you want to know who the culprit is? Why it is our very own Kit!!!! That's right, she did it. Poor, poor Mr. Bear. There will be a private service, just the family. Mr. Bear will be buried in the dumpster later this week. Please feel free to stop by and say a few prayers for him. Rest in peace Mr. Bear, you will always be in our hearts.

Just some cute pics



Here's a picture of sissy and biffy in the explorer, we were waiting for their daddy to come out and I get bored easily, so I took out my camera and took a picture. I would have snapped one of kit but she was in with her daddy going potty. So I threw in this picture of her. She decided to get herself dressed for school last week, what do ya think? It was a cute attempt, but I made her change before we left lol.

Easter Bunny!!


I took the girls to an Easter egg hunt a week or so ago. They had lots of fun! It was a cold and rainy day, but that didn't stop the girls! Although kit had some problems with just grabbing eggs since there were so many people around, she still did good, I just held her hand and told her it was ok to pick up the eggs. I had to tell her that for every egg, but it worked so she wasn't scared. She ended up with 10 eggs and sissy ended up getting 9. I left biffy with my mom since it was nasty out, I didn't want her to get real sick. So the two older girls got to meet and get their picture taken with the Easter bunny, and poor biffy missed out. I don't think she minded though, she would have screamed bloody murder if I would have put her on that bunny's lap! Plus she had fun with her grandma.
