I spent too much time tonight responding to e-mails and doing various other stuff, and I’m not staying up till 2 a.m. again tonight, so I’m just going to throw at you the pictures I took today before I run off to bed. Except, let me beg you please, pretty please, If you’re going to ask me a question on the blog – one that might in any way be one you’d like a response e-mail to – PLEASe! Put your e-mail address in the form, or in the text of your comment. Don’t make me come to your blog and find your e-mail address. I’m crabby enough already. Sorry.
Here’s Julie showing off the hat-type thing she made at pre-school today.
Julie had a big milestone last night. She finally made poopie in the potty for the first time. Of course, she still took a crap in her pants this afternoon, but I feel like we’re moving in the right direction.
Here’s Sophie parked in her high chair while I attempted to get dinner started. That lasted for all of about 15 minutes, most of which was taken up by helping Julie with the things she was doing on the other end of the counter. I read A Little Pregnant, and I remember her saying that her son Charlie loved to play with raw carrots around this age. So today I peeled one and handed it to Sophie to see what she’d do with it. Totally not interested. Maybe we’ll try again another day. How DO all the other stay-at-home moms manage to get dinner made without their kids screaming at them? ‘Cause it’s not happening here. Not today anyway.
We’ve seen these socks many times before. Now that they’re back from the Fair, I decided to go ahead and wear them today. Let’s take a moment to admire the ribbing that goes all the way to the tips of the toes. Why don’t we all do this? For as much as these socks cost to make, I’m not sure I love them all that much. The colors just aren’t quite right.
Really bad picture here, but I got a new pair of fall shoes today. They’re Birkenstock clogs, and they’re dark brown. I used a gift certificate Joe gave me for some holiday that came last spring. They are very comfortable, and not entirely ugly.
Finally, another lovely package came in the mail today from Debi in Florida. Debi sent me a really nice pile of all kinds of yummy sock yarn bits. I’m sorry, I want to tell you more about them, but I am exhausted. The thing I wonder is what does a lady from Florida do with all those wool socks? I’m not sure I care as long as I get her cast-off bits. Thanks, Debi!
LOL at the wool socks in Florida. I live in Orlando and knit wool socks. Cause, you know, that’s what we need in Florida. More wool socks.
Honestly, though they are great for when “sandal season” ends (when the dew on the grass gets too cold.) Should be in about a week or two now.
Let us hope you get rid of your comments about daughter “crapping in her pants” before she learns to read. Crude. And she’ll hate you for it!
Cool scraps.
I’m making use of mine already! (I’ll post another photo once I get this dang paper submitted.)
I have the same Birkenstocks (Ashby’s or Ashley’s – something like that) in 2 colors. I like ‘em because they don’t entirely look like Birkenstocks and they’re TOTALLY comfortable!
Glad you got the package, Shelly! Now about wool socks in Florida…
I don’t only knit for myself or fellow Floridians so the feet I knit for love the socks PLUS we do have cold weather here in FLA! When it’s 90+ degrees most of the year it’s time for warm wollies when the temp hits 60! Lastly, wool breathes so you can wear wool socks all year long pretty much anywhere…wool wicks moisture when your feet get sweaty so they are a better choice insides some sneakers thsn cotton socks!
Sheesh, I meant to preview that so I could fix my typos!
Anyway, enjoy the sock yarn!!
