Birthday Cake Every Day!!

I don't think so! After two weekends of Birthday parties I believe my son has a problem with birthday cake. He wants it all the time. We might have to look for an 8-step program or something.

Daryl's cousin Rilee turned two last Saturday. It was a good party

and Rilee got a great slide that all the kids had a lot of fun on. Our gift to the little KU fan was a KU pillow. Daryl helped make it (I use the word help very loosely) he was pretty proud of his handy work.

I don't think we have any birthday parties this weekend so that is good!

Hey Look! I finished a sock. And I'm actually half way done with the second

one too. Its looking good that this will be a pair of socks soon! :)

Happy Birthday To You!!

Lack of things to post about seems to be the trend lately. I would show pictures of snow and stuff but I figure everyone has seen snow soooooo I haven't been doing that!

But today we had a bonafide reason to gather and celebrate! Grandma Hazel Meerpohl had her 9

0th birthday party today!! It was a great day and Grandma has a lot of family and friends who came to celebrate her great life. Grandma is not a typical 90-year old. people were talking all day about how she does meals on wheels, cans vegetables, drives friends to their doctor appointments, and it wasn't long ago she built a deck! Brian and Kelly surprised Grandma with a couple of songs. They were surprised too because they didn't know they were doing it until about five minutes before! :)

Grandma Hazel is in good health and is a hard working lady!

On the knitting front I've almost finished one of my stripey socks and I want to wear them to San Fransisco at the end of March so they do have a deadline. I finished my surprise knit and its going in the mail on Tuesday because I can't mail anything on Monday! I don't begrudge the post office their day off but I'm still a little annoyed :-)
