365 Project :: Day 11

I know this is a horrible picture photographically speaking. But it's the only one I got today, and I think it's hilarious once you know the story behind it.

I snapped this with one hand out to the side as I was being trampled by my Duder. I was trying to get a picture of the cat who was crawling across my chest while I was laying on the floor, and as soon as I leaned back Duder seized the opportunity, jumped onto my stomach and started bouncing up and down as hard as he could, giggling all the way. You can see the slightly manic look in his eye.

I was trying to take the picture, breathe while laughing, and not pee my pants (from the extreme abuse to my bladder) all at the same time.

The 3-kids-against-1-mommy tickle war that ensued was the best part of my day.

Remember to roll around with your kids,

Terrific Tuesday

Today is dark and gloomy, the babies seem to be better, bread is made, and my house is clean! (It's amazing how much housework you can get done when the kiddos will only sit on the couch and watch movies.)

That means knitting. All day long!

What you see above is the current batch of zombies, stuffed and ready for clothes to be made and faces to be created.

I have so many designs in my head that I need to get out. I've been drawing them out, but my hands are itching to make them. I have orders to finish first though.

Since I seem to be running out of post ideas for now I thought I would try answering questions y'all might have. Just leave the question in the comments and I'll answer it/them in a later post. It can be about anything you want!

Blogging with a cat on my neck,

Looks Like It's Going To Be A Monday

I got the babies out of their room this morning to find Duder crying and Tyler complaining about a tummy ache. Which he was complaining about last night too.

Duder has been acting like he has the flu - complete with a projectile vomitting incident - but he's always so happy even when he's sick it's hard to really tell if it's the flu or just a fluke incident. I'm betting on the flu though, since Tyler has been fussing about his tummy.

I hate when my babies are sick. Especially when it's something I can't really fix. Seeing my babies (or Ben, for that matter) sick or hurt and not being able to make it better is the worst thing. At least I will get lots of snuggles from babies who are usually too cool for mom.

And thank goodness for PBS and Pixar movies. They are a life saver.

Well, today is still Monday and that means cleaning house, doing laundry, and making bread (hopefully). I have an order of zombies to finish over the next few days, an Emilie order to start, and I'm trying to get some patterns written out.

I'm ready for Spring. I'm tired of cold and clouds and I want warmth and blue sky and flowers and all the nice spring things. Like opening the house and getting fresh air. But alas, I still have at least two months to wait.

I hope y'alls Monday isn't too bad.

Love ya,
Meg
