We've had an action packed weekend. My brother, his
fiancee and her two children (4 & 6) came to spend Sat - Mon with us. Saturday was the Barnes & Noble children's center and Chuck E. Cheese (all parents please moan in sympathy and swallow 3 Advil). We managed to win enough tickets to earn us a foam rocket shooter and a pocket full of lizards and Spiders.
Woo Hoo! Then, Sunday it was off to pancakes and waffles then to
Strong Museum of Play. Strong is so much fun -- it is a great place to let the kids run loose. I can't wait to have kids of my own - just for an excuse to get a family membership. We went to the Butterfly Conservatory -
Tonight, while my brother & his
fiancee are at a concert - DH & I are watching Power Rangers and Tom & Jerry with the Kids. Good news is I did get some knitting done during all these adventures. The 1 side of my tea cozy is done, my last ankle sock (even though my toe graft looks a little wonky - I need to get better at this or try toe up next time) and I cast on for the striped candy cane "
santa's helper" hat for my nephew for Christmas (another from the
Itty Bitty Hat book).
Tea cozy really is pretty cute - the top edge is fluted with eyelet holes - so I can thread a ribbon through once I finish the second side and seam it up.
