Heard at the dinner table (part deux)

Me to Pip: “How come you’re so cute?”
Pip: “I don’t know.  Maybe I was born with it…maybe it’s Manbelline.”
Me: “Manbelline?”
That’s when I came upstairs to type this, to his his chorus of “Nooooooooo!”

FO’s (Finished Objects)

I’m all about finishing projects over here.  I knitted some sushi for our dear friends who got me to eat (and love) sushi.  They are moving out of state and I wanted to give them a permanent memory.  The pattern is from Magknits.

Also, I finished a pillow I’ve been working on for forever.  I want [...]

Heard at the Dinner Table

DQ: “Daddy, TM bitched it down the stairs today.”
TM: (mouth full of food) “Bitch?”
Me: (Between trying not to let food shoot out my nose from stifling laughter) “Um guys, the word is pitched.  TM PITCHED it down the stairs today.”
Pip: “Is this going on your blog?”

Kindergarten School Musical

 
DQ turned 6 last week, though it seemed like 16.  After a visit with her most admired cousin (we’ll call her Princess) DQ was begging to see High School Musical.  We put it on hold at the library and it came available the week of her birthday.  She knew every song after one viewing and [...]

Wonderful

That poncho down there a couple of posts?  Yeah, she’s already ripped a hole in the front.  Good thing I’m not a perfectionist or it would go straight in the trash.  And I thought wearing it to church would be safe.

First Sewing Project

I have completed my first sewn object!  With a lot of help from my mom, I made this purse last week and pretty much love it.  Though the pattern was “for Dummies”, I was assured that it was very poorly written and a lot more difficult than it had to be.  At any rate, it’s [...]

Love Notes?

I got this precious little love note from DQ the other day…

 Translation: I love you mommy.
And then later that evening, Pip was kissing TM goodnight and noticed a note from DQ taped to the wall above TM’s bed where he keeps all his special pictures and things.

Translation: Dear ____ (I blurred his name out), Why do [...]

Another Poncho for DQ

 
DQ saw this poncho in The Yarn Girls’ Guide to Knits for Older Kids and asked for it.  I’m a sucker.  It was supposed to be done by Valentine’s Day, but I have this issue with getting bored with projects and starting new ones before I’m finished.  At any rate, it’s done.  Yes, it has the [...]

You might be thinking, “Nice picture of your pedicure.”, but see that’s where you would be wrong. These would be the husband’s feet. The kids decided to give him a makeover, and this is the only part of [...]

The Food Mall

TM at the Food Mall

There is a place we go sometimes that the kids call “The Food Mall”. It’s a regular mall with a soft play area that has giant breakfast foods for them to play on. As you can [...]
