I got a new camera!

So here are a bunch of pictures!!

Daryl and Dominic can't keep the tractor upright!

Daryl connects with the ball!

First sleeve is not done yet!

Daryl wants to wear snow boots.

Where is my helmet?

The day after D's party we headed up to Holton to visit papa since he could not make it to the party. Turns out he had one of Daryl's favorite gifts! A construction helmet or as D likes to call it "My bob the builder hat!"

My very own Bob the Builder!

I've been knitting on Kelly's sweater AGAIN! I actually finished the back and have started the first sleeve. Its a nice looking sleeve! I think Kelly is actually starting to realize I will finish this thing.
He has had his doubts from the very beginning. He doesn't dare question the fit, because after the better part of several years he will either feast or famine until the D*** thing fits!!!
Happy Wednesday!!

A sleeve...that's all.

Daryl's 3rd Birthday

Daryl had his party today at the Zoo! He was so excited he has been talking about it all week. And when we finally go there you couldn't make him walk. He was running from animal to animal with all of his cousins and friends.
It was also the baby Hippo's birthday so they share the same special day.
I want to thank everyone that came out, Daryl is a super lucky boy with a lot of people who love him.
He napped for two and a half hours when we got home and then he played with his cousin's on the slip and slide. After dinner we used our fire pit for the first time and roasted marshmallows. So much fun that Daryl picked out a new animal to sleep with, (this makes FIVE animals he shares the bed with), had Kelly read him one of his new books and was snoozing in no time. It was a great day!

Happy Dance

Doing my happy dance! I got the sweater finished and actually had time to wash and block it! This is an improvement over last year because I finished D's sweater vest in time for pictures but no time for blocking.
Daryl took his pictures yesterday and he did great. We should get them late next week. After every picture D did say "I'm done!" But we did get him to take more.
Have a great week everyone!

Almost There

I am inches from finishing D's sweater! Yay!! Then I have to give it a little bath and let it dry before his pictures on Monday. Can't believe my little baby is going to be three, I remember bringing him home from the hospital and I'm trying to enjoy every moment.
This weekend everyone is home and we have no real plans. This is all a good thing because we have a lot of catching up to do on the house. Kelly is also lining up some home projects he wants to do next week as he is taking a staycation. If a new window gets put in the craft room that will be all it takes to make me happy! :)
Stay cool everyone!!

My Hot Tamale

Lil D is not feeling to well tonight. He has caught the proverbial bug. Boo. He has a little fever and hopefully he still has time to kick it this weekend.
Before all that happened we were all having a very productive day. I ran my first 10K in Manhattan (yay me!), Kelly was doing a work thing, and Daryl was hanging out with Grandma. But when he got up from his nap he was not feeling so well, but not so much he didn't stop playing with Carson.
So I stayed with the 'rents for awhile and had dinner, knitted and watched the Royals. But we came home and Daryl went straight to bed after some kids Motrin. I will hope for the best in the morning!

What I have of D's sweater so far.
