Gloomy Monday

We've pretty much been stuck in all day. Its horrible out. Cold and grey.

We turned on Toddler Music On Demand and had a dance party in the living room. Then I layed on the floor and Syndey and Lucy climbed all over me.

I am so so so lucky to have such a loving little girl. Her hugs(which are normally reserved for the dog and cats) make my whole day when I am lucky enough to get one.

Sydney and Adia

Sydney and Adia. Sydney's friends are beautiful. It scares me that if they remain friends they will be this little group of extremely pretty girls.

I do this so I won't lose my mind.

I went and got some yarn a Michaels for a new project and on my reciept there was a 50% coupon! I love coupons and feel like I need to use them all the time. Especially if they are 50% off. So I've been looking at this case for knitting supplies for a while. It was $60 and not something I really wanted to spend $60 on. I'd rather get a pedi if I'm going to spend that at once on myself (Sydney gets most of my money). But $30 I can deal with. So I got it. And I. Love. It.

The only thing I wish it had is a spot for my circular needles. Like a specific spot.

I've had this green and teal yarn for years. I got it because I was in love with the color and I've been saving it for something perfect. I think I know someone that would appreciate the colors. The rest is all Sydney projects. Minus the purple in the second picture. Thats for me.

The very few things I've made recently.

A headband called the Urban Turban. Its cute and will be nice for winter. It was a very quick knit. I made one while Sydney napped and then it was a little big so I knit another while waiting for Rob to get home. It only took me about an hour.

Sydney scarf. Its kind of plain so I'm going to crochet and edge I think.

My current. I love this and hope it turns out. I'll post it when its done.

And my last:

I hate this yarn

but love my little helper.

One year check up (a month and a half late)

We switched pediatricians a couple months ago and had to wait an extra month and a half for Sydney's one year check up. Right now she weighs 18lbs 13oz and is 28" tall. 10th percentile in both weight an height. Shes tiny. But as far as her development shes in the 18 month bracket! My smart little thing.

Currently everyone in the house is sick. Gross. Luckly, I got called off work tomorrow so we can all lay around in pajamas. Oh wait. We have a toddler. Not happening.

Kings Island

Rob had to work on Halloween and got home too late to take Sydney Trick or Treating at the salon with me so I really wanted to do something as a family on Sat. for Fall. I really wanted to go to Kings Island for the Howl-O-Fest but tickets are REALLY expensive. Like $60 expensive so we were trying to think of something else. Then a girl at work posted on Facebook that she had FREE tickets to give away and we grabbed them up. It was such a great day. We took her on several rides including a small roller coaster. She went to the dance party with Snoopy (she LOVES LOVES LOVES to dance), played in a foam pit (and FYI chasing a 13 month old through 4ft of foam is not easy), she got a pumpkin in the Pumpkin Patch, trick or treated, watched a show in the German Theatre, and way too many other things. Such a great family day.

We set her down and she ran right over to get ice cream.
