Too Short!

What is it with pajama pants?

My flannels and my knit ones are all too short. And, no. My girth has not expanded. I don't know what it is, but I am blaming it on the washing machine. It might be a case of you get what you pay for. I've never been one to pay much for sleeping attire.

I made the executive decision to add the high waters to the Goodwill bag. While I was organizing my jammies, I found a few others to add to the bag. After Peanut was born, I bought two sets of shortalls. They were perfect for the summer and perfect for nursing. I guess I've gotten more modest in my "old" age. Or, I just don't like exposing all that skin. I put them in the bag too. It took some convincing. Why did I care? I haven't worn them in a few years.

I guess it is just sentimental taking me back to the days when my baby was eensy weensy!

My Knitting Bag

For Christmas, my oldest sister gave me a knitting bag. She made it! It was packed with a knitting magazine, a gc for my lys, and a some chocolate to keep me smiling.

I schlepped the bag to the pool this weekend. There was lots of good swimming to be had!!

I got some knitting done, but not enough! I am making a baby shower gift and the shower is in 6 days! I am using the Mission Falls cotton to make a baby kimono sweater. I've never made one. The directions are easy enough. I just hope it lives up to my expectations!!

I finished the book, The Art of Racing in the Rain. The book is written from the dog's perspective. I loved that and continue to look at Buddy wondering what he is thinking. That is - - if dogs can really think! This book has it all. It is enjoyable, sad in moments, thought provoking, and I learned about car racing.

I stopped in to my lys on Thursday. I used my gift certificate to buy this scarf pattern, Molly. The yarn caught my eye from across the store. It is Classic Elite Liberty Wool in the Rainforest colorway. Love it! I just have to finish my other wips before I start something else!!

Thank you, Rita! I love my bag and am so excited to make myself a scarf!!

Sky Chair Fun

On New Year's Eve, Gina and Neil got to try out our Sky Chairs. The weather was perfect for that time of the year.

The chairs will make anyone smile:)

Bank Drive Thru

Checking off the driving milestones~

Using the drive thru teller!

Go Ducks!

Peanut's been a long time Duck's fan.

Instead of a snowman, he built an O. He used water with food coloring to spray it green.

Pumpkin is cheering for Auburn. He tried to build an Auburn A in the snow, but it fell - poor design.

We'll see how it all turns out tonight!!

Morganshire Snow

Snow Day 2011!

Last night I made Chicken Pot Pie and Peanut embellished the top with a snowman. We were all hopeful the flakes falling from the sky would amount to something.

Sure enough. We ended up with 4-6 inches by this morning. School was cancelled by 9pm last night. What a treat!

We rounded up the family and headed out for a walk in the snow. There is nothing better to lift your spirits. I got to wear my BOGS. Wahoo! They kept my feet toasty. Peanut got to wear my "old" snow boots. I am not the best mom as far as winter gear goes for my boys. We just don't use it too often here. I'm all for making due with what you've got.

It was snowing so hard that I could not get a "clean" shot. Those lime green pants have such a history. They were pulled on for many snow storms in PA. They are not to fashionable, but they keep you dry.

Buddy kept losing the ball in the snow. By the time we came in he had balls of snow hanging on his fur. He seemed to love every minute of it.

I shoveled the driveway and am mustering up the energy to go sled riding with the boys.

It's not supposed to get too warm. I just wonder if they'll be in school tomorrow - one of the perks of snow in the South. We don't have any real equipment to get the snow off the roads.
