Ya....we still need to work on that!

Knitting Weekend!



That is a whole couch full of sweater!

I got a lot of knitting done this weekend. I made a Minion hat for my nephew's birthday, finished my awesome ear flap hat, and completed the LAST SLEEVE of Kel's sweater!
The theme of the weekend was the laundry and dishes can wait, I'm feeling some major knitting mojo and I'm just going with it. Thankfully my husband does not question this (anymore) and I'm a happy lady!
Other important notes for the last couple of days:

Daryl seems to have the potty training down, I will spare details as I know once something is on the Internet it's out there for good and some day he will be sixteen and googling his own name! Maybe sooner.

Saw "The Help" at the movies with an awesome group of ladies. I bawled my eyes out and if you have not seen it yet you should. It barely scratched the surface of how wrong humans can be and makes you want to be a better person. That's always a good thing.

Last but not least ran another 5K on Saturday and set a new personal record for myself. It helps me get out of bed in the morning to run when I get to do races. If you want to get into running enter a race, they are a great time and crossing the finish line is an amazing feeling! Kelly ran too and he beat me but only by a little!

Winning!

Earflaps anyone?

Sorry I couldn't help myself, I watched the Charlie Sheen roast last night and I can't stop saying, "Winning!" The only other thing I have to say about that show was who the heck invited Mike Tyson? That was a shame, he wasn't funny and he didn't have any idea what was going on. He was not winning!
Just wanted to let everyone know  my awesome hand spun hat is almost finished, I just need to rustle up some hot pink yarn to edge it with. Kelly's sleeve is still not done but I will work on it soon, but probably not today!
Daryl had his first dentist appointment today and the only good thing I have to say is he didn't bite anyone.

This was before the freak out, you can sorta
tell it's going to happen.

He cried for about five minutes and after that was over we found out he has two cavities. They are going to wait six months to treat them just because they don't think he would let them at this age and I'm not for putting him under if we don't have to.
Hope everyone out there is Winning!
ok ill stop saying that...

Clean Sweep!

Today we didn't have any plans as a family. So that means a day to stay at the manor and CLEAN THIS PLACE UP! So I did that while Kelly golfed, so don't feel to bad for him!
Daryl helped me clean a little as well as he went to the bathroom about every thirty minutes! Turns out he really likes to wash his hands by himself so that leads to a lot of "I have to potty again mom!"
I spun a little from a new batt I made at The Wicked Stitch in Wamego. Jennifer has a great store and she lets customers play with her toys!
I have not knit on Kelly's sweater at all today thankyouverymuch, and I'm almost done with my earflap hat!
I should be able to finish the sleeve this week and hopefully block all the parts of the sweater. Maybe...

This is Daryl doubting I will ever finish Kel's sweater!

Bamboozeled

I've been tricked! I was working on the second sleeve for Kelly's sweater when the sleeve started to fight back. (It's a little known legend that the second of any pair, ex. sock, glove or sleeve, doesn't like to be finished. Thus leaving the knitter with a completely useless one of something that needs a two.)
So this second sleeve got tricky, and by tricky I mean mind numbingly boring! So I started looking at my recently washed and whacked handspun and longed to work with it.
So yesterday I quit fighting the urge, put the sleeve aside and cast on a hat! Its going to be awesome. It will have ear flaps and everything.
But don't worry my frenemy the sleeve. I will finish you and you can bet on that!!!!

Sleeves are dumb, here is a hat!

D got his hair cut today! What a big boy!!

Road Trip

Our family spent our long weekend out west! We even packed up Vinny Boo Boo. Had a great time visiting with mom and we really didn't do a whole lot besides play outside and visit.

Daryl reported for work but the Co-Op was closed!

I also got a lot of reading a knitting done and that is my idea of a good time! Wiley (one of Daryl's sleeping animals) had such a good time he decided to stay! Now, Wiley you have to come home in October and that is that.

Had a great dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Wasko and Uncle David and Keri. Kelly even snuck in a round of golf. When we asked Daryl what he wanted to do, he just wanted to mow the lawn. So we let him!
