I'm running a little late this morning as we were gone all day yesterday up to Santa Rosa for a day out of the city. One of Husband's coworkers has a......weekend house (in addition to their actual house in San Francisco). Actual yard, fruit trees, and a heated pool...yeah. It was Stormageddon's first time in a pool and he was a total rockstar. He absolutely loved being in the pool. He learned to splash and he drove his boat like a boss.
But, enough about that for right now.....

I'm going to be perfectly honest here. I don't think I did any knitting, save for a scant couple rounds on my Traveling Socks or my Fire & Ice socks at all this week. My knitting mojo has gone up and mojoed off to Bob knows where. I hope to find it soon...
We shall see...

I've got a lot of things left that I want to do :)
In "real life" (that thing that happens when I'm not in front of my laptop).....
Stormageddon is officially 8 months old (as of yesterday). He cannot sit up on his own yet but he can army crawl, roll quite eloquently, and do this half-sitting-butt-scoot. He's adorable. I think I'll keep him.
I had to move his jumper up a notch and I think I need to do it again, actually. He's getting so big already!
His brother, on the other hand, is still a booger. I signed him up for 4-5 year old soccer for this summer. He's shown an interest so I'm just going to run with it. We'll see how that goes. He also got another haircut this week.
He was starting to get his curls around his neck and ears again. Husband was also due for a haircut so they both got one yesterday morning.
Anyway, I don't have much else to discuss at this point. Perhaps I'll pop in later this week, after I find the card reader for the camera. I have pictures of Stormageddon in the pool and Little Man's new haircut, and maybe I'll do a WIP Wednesday....who knows.
I hope you're all having a lovely week and such :)
Little Man is growing up into a boy and losing that toddlerness. He will love soccer. What boy doesn't like to run around and kick a ball? Stormmaggedon is so trippy in his physical development.
ReplyDeleteSigh... I want a weekend house.... or friends who like to share ;-D The kiddos are getting big quick!
