What a HOT HOT HOT weekend!!! Sunday was a busy birthday party day. First party was my old sitter Kim's middle child Tana's 3rd birthday party. Molly and Seth played in the little wading pool to help stay cool while all of us adults just sat around chatting. Kim's hubby Brian hooked up a little water hose to the fan to help mist water on us. It was FABULOUS!!!! Megan spent the whole time there sleeping on a blanket in the shade. We stayed there for about 90 minutes and then scooted over to Nick's house for his oldest child Laine's 6th birthday. He had a little above-ground pool that is just 2 1/2 feet deep. Molly and Seth spent almost 6 HOURS swimming! I finally went in with Megan and it was wonderful! We stayed in about 45 minutes and she LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! Our friend John took this picture on his camera phone of Megan in the pool.
Today the kids and I went to Lake Elmo Park Reserve again and went swimming. Probably spent 2 hours just splashing around enjoying the cool water.
After that we came home and I put the kids' train set together (AGAIN!!!) They've broken that darn set apart and completely trashed every attempt I've made to set up the tracks. Today I brought out my trusty glue gun and glued every one of those darn tracks down!!! No destroying it now! Seth has been playing with it virtually non-stop since about 4pm. 5 hours of play....YAY!!!!
On the knitting..........
22" knit only 58" left!!!!! This is such an addicting pattern! I really want to get Megan's blanket finished and I'm forcing myself to just knit 4 rows of the blanket and then I get to knit more on the scarf. At this rate the scarf will probably be done by the weekend. That and the blanket!
Next up are 2 pairs of knit pants for an internet friend. Just waiting on a couple measurements. Those will FLY once I get the measurements!
Once those are done I have a list a mile long of what I want and what I NEED to knit:
--hat to match the scarf for me
--mittens for me
--hat/mittens for Seth, Molly and Megan
--scarf for Molly
--hat and scarf for Dan for hunting out of blaze orange yarn I'm having Nada and Brad dye for me. They're my favorite dyers anywhere!!!!
--this sweater for Megan. Just have to decide on the yarn!
--felted crowns for Molly and Seth
I'm going to consider this my "master list" and keep updating it in each blog entry from here on out with amount of progress I've made.
Gotta run...the kids are crazy!
