mmmm…! Halloween candy! one of life’s small pleasures. (But I tend to eat too much at once, so I really can only have some about once every two weeks, to let my tongue recover. You’d think I’d learn…)
Busy, busy time. Busy with nothing, though, just the business of small children, running a business and trying to sell the house. Lots of starts and stops, and of course, in this real estate market, frustration. We really need a new place, though, as the ridiculousness is getting epic. But never mind. Just another thing I have no control over.
And can you see that in this family we like to have control? Here’s little Big Boss himself, helping out before a viewing.
I don’t know where he get’s that attitude! (tee hee hee)
Okay, I don’t really have much worth reporting. I have a bunch of half finished projects. The one I have most recently completed was the Cedar Leaf Shawlette, which I made in Malabrigo worsted. Here it is:
I like the finished product but boy, was this ever a boring, boring knit. Yikes. I suppose that might be all I have time for, but wow. I’m not sure I’ll make it again, even though I have the pattern. Maybe we just need some space.
Of course, the first time I put it on and foolishly picked up my baby he threw up all over it. This was after carefully washing and blocking it, and drying it by the fireplace. Well, at least he has good taste. I guess he just likes to share. Oh, he has two dear friends! This baby is very gregarious and social, so this should be of no surprise. Here’s his girlfriend:
Indeed, it is difficult to change his diaper, as he twists and turns and has to coo and grab at her. His other good friend is someone I am more familiar with:
(sorry about the photos. I can’t resize when kids are running around making happy shrieky getting in troubley type noises…) Yep, this kid is easily amused! Put him in front of the mirror and he’s just tickled. Of course, he usually throws up a few seconds later, as he is also the King of Spit Up, but hey, it’s all just experience in carpet cleaning.
Okay, thing to go to and kids to clean up first, (and I have to try to find clothes that are not covered in spit up, and can be worn outside the house) so that’s all folks.
