Sick Day

This will be a post with no picture due to the fact that both Luke and I are home sick and are not looking great. Luke sounds like a seal and is very clingy. All I want to do is curl up in bed and go to sleep. That's not going to happen so instead we are going to curl up on the couch in front of a movie. What makes you feel better when you are sick?

Finished Product

Here is the finished product! I think I may teach my class how to make these and use them as bookmarks! So easy and fun to make! Try it out and let me know what you made.

Hayden has been bugging me for months to teach her how to knit. Yesterday seemed like a great day for. It was a little more challenging than I thought it would be. Hayden has so many wonderful qualities but patience is not one of them (wonder who she got that from?) so after several frustrating attempts we decided take a break. While she was playing I got on line( what did I ever do without the Internet before?) and googled "knitting for kids" and found this great site on fingerknitting. http://http://www.how-to-knit-guide.com/finger-knitting.html She loves it! She has made several "dog leashes". Here are some pictures of Hayden as well as the site address. Enjoy!

p.s. sorry for the reverse picture order, I'm still trying to figure this out.

Another find

Last month while the weather was still warm we met our friends Kenny and Natasha and their three beautiful children at the beach. We don't get to see each other very often so we really appreciated the time we do get. The kids found this humongous dragonfly and Hayden immediately fell in love.

The Day After

Like everyone else we are recuperating after a Thanksgiving filled with family and friends and great food. My husband have an ongoing disagreement between fresh or canned cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving dinner. I prefer fresh; he canned. What is your favorite?
Pictures to come.
