Summer fun..........

Well, this is why I don't have time to blog, knit or anything else for that matter, in the summer. I am having fun with my little ones! We did a facial mask and relaxed with cucumbers on our eyes. Unfortunately, right after I cut the cucumbers up for my three, my littlest started to cry. Upon asking her what was the matter, she replied, "I forgot we were supposed to put the cucumbers on our eyes and I ate mine!" I laughed so hard and thought to myself, "this is why I don't mind if my knitting is on hold."

I finally have my camera working, but have completely forgotten how to get to flicker and back again for posting pictures. I need to call my friend Karen. She is a computer guru and can answer any question or if you are looking for her to make a badge or create a beautiful blog, she's your girl.

Time to go fold a ton of laundry and read a little with the kiddies. Tomorrow is, "So you think you can dance?" on Fox. We LOVE this show and try never to miss it. Benji is one of our favorite dancers. We love his West Coast Swing. If you haven't watched this show, it's on Wednesday at 8pm est and then again Thursday at 9pm est. It's sort of like "American Idol" except it is based on dancing rather than singing. Great show.

O.k., off to my children. Loves of my life............

I am knitting.... finally!!

Yeah, I finally am back to a project. I got my "Knit Simple" magazine in the mail last week and did what I always do when I get that... Make a fresh pot of coffee and hide somewhere in my house for some quiet time to read every page of the magazine - even the advertisements! I just love those magazines. Seems like yesterday I was reading "Seventeen" magazine and now look at me! So, here I am, hiding, reading my knitting articles and I see it. A project I want to make and feel the need to start immediately. Well, with three kids, immediately turned out to be six days later, but I was still as excited about it. I have two, very adorable, twins in my family. A little guy named Chace and a little beauty named Madeline. I started to make the "giraffe" scarf pattern for them and will make the matching hat and gloves as well. It's so cute and I felt easy enough to do at the beach or pool so I can watch the kids swim, but still get some knitting in as well. I missed having a little WIP (that means Work In Progress for you non-knitters. I don't want you to think I am a wierdo or something!) and now, I feel, I have a purpose again in my knitting world. I'll take a picture as soon as my camera is working. The darn thing is on the blink. Ta, ta for now ...........

For those of you friends that do read my blog, I apologize for not creating new posts. However, I fear that there really is no one reading my blog and so it wouldn't matter if I didn't add a post or not. Life has been busy and now that summer arrived, I am spending my time outside with the kids. Come September, I will be back to my regular postings and knitting as well. Seems like I can't do it all when the children are out of school. I cherish every minute we can get of the two months we have off and I don't even like to sit in front of the computer for any length of time that will take away from being with them. So, if you do read my blog, thank you and be patient. I will be back soon..........
