So much to report

I guess it has been a long time since I have posted anything. I am ready to admit that it is because I am competely addicted to knitting. I search for patterns, I shop for yarn, and most important - I knit. Ugh, it is a little unhealthy at this point. Last night I think I was dreaming about it. So, I guess I will talk about what I have knitted first. I made each of the kids wool hats that I knitted in the round - which was way cool. Here are multiple pictures of each hat I have made so you can see what they look like from each angle. Let me know if you want one for your little one as my kids can only wear so many wool hats in CA. I am trying to figure out how to make visor beanies without a pattern (too cheap to buy a pattern and can't find one free) - I started the project last night, but it is too early to tell if it will be a success. In addition I want to make some Sigg water bottle cozies with handles.


We made another trip to dillon beach weekend before last - sad to report that it wasn't the perfect day at the beach, but we are still happy we went. It was more fun than not and Madelyn had a blast getting her feet wet. Tiva even played fetch in the surf.



Last weekend we did a lot of work on the house - Josh finished the bathroom trim, we did some touch up painting, and just some general maintenance. The kids even got into the action and did some work around the yard - Madelyn is working with a socket wrench and Noah has on his "work gloves."

Mady and I both got haircuts last week. We had so much fun and had a girls night out together. For so long she has resisted getting her hair cut and then when she found out I was going to get mine cut one evening, she couldn't resist the opportunity for a girl's night out. I really like how it turned out.

Mady starts Kindergarten in the first week in September! I can't believe it is here already. Noah will be 2 on Sunday! I think he hit the "terrible twos" a few months ago, so I can't imagine what he has in store for us next!

I can't resist posting some art work here - the kids are just amazing me with their work:

This one is hard to see, but Noah did all of this with a ball point pen

I guess that is all for now.
