Hello from the land of Mucus

Vincent is Mr. Snot today. Cute as he is, I really don't like bugger breasts.

I had a flu-type something Friday afternoon and yesterday. Luckily it held off until mid-afternoon. Friday morning, Amy and I took the kids up to Madison, picked up mom and brought her with us. Mom took the girls to the new play area in the mall, and Amy and I went to get Vincent's new pictures taken. Once again, the photographer had to hide, so I'm glad Amy was there to get Vincent to giggle. The pictures are very cute and I can't wait to get them back.

We stopped at Coyote Yarns (I finally found it!) and I picked up some dark grey and brown blend Manos to make a chullo for Luis for Solstice. I'm going to inspect the chullo we bought him last year and copy it, since he loves it so much. The guage on the Manos is right, and it should be really pretty, in a masculine way, when it's done. I also bought a size 4 addi natura to replace the one Isabella broke. Now that I have that again, I've restarted Vincent's lime green and navy sweater. The back is more than half done already.

Luis was watching a movie the other day and felt something funny in the sofa. He feels around and discovered my size 9 dpn that has been missing since summer. Woohoo! He also found my missing thermometer, hurray! Now I can start charting temps again.

Luis has gone to see Matrix: Revolutions now, so I'm bumming around online as long as the kids will let me. I've got to finish sewing one order, and then do a bunch of cleaning upstairs. I really don't want to clean. Maybe I'll start sewing the next order of 25 ribbons instead...

We've got Legally Blonde 2 rented for tonight, and Amy is coming over to watch. Abigail is so thrilled, she's been looking forward to seeing this movie ever since she first saw the poster at the theater.

Isabella is doing better since we brought her back into our room at night. It's hard to remember sometimes that she is two years younger than Abigail, and that Abigail was still in our room until 4.25. I think it's time to read Raising Your Spirited Child again soon. I've really been butting heads with Isabella lately, and I need to remember to pull back and take a breath.
