I'm so ashamed...it's been almost a MONTH since I've updated!!!! Can I blame it on the fact that I have *THREE* kids 4 and under? Can I blame it on the fact that I've been out of town 3 of the last 4 weekends? Can I blame it on the sheer volume of knitting I've been doing? Well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad! I haven't really gotten much knitting done. Cold weather is coming here in Minnesota and I'm playing dumb about it. If I don't knit the kids hats, mittens and scarves it won't snow, right?! C'mon ladies....help me out here!!! It's got to be true, right? If not, my poor kids might have to wear **gasp** STORE-BOUGHT!! OH NO!!!!!! Guess I better finish up this custom order of two wool pants I have here and get it mailed out. First pair DONE! Second pair. Well, it WILL be done by Tuesday if I have to be up all night to do it.

What's been going on here for the last month? I'll start with the most recent and go back in time....follow me on the journey!!!

Just last week Seth, my almost 3 year old, went to the dentist for the FIRST TIME!!!




YAY SETH!!! Molly was in full big-sister mode. She showed him how to do EVERYTHING! She showed him how to go to the desk and tell the gal her name and that she has an appointment, how to sit in the big chair, how to do EVERYTHING!!! What a great big sister! Seth can't wait until he gets to go again.

Megan is almost full-out crawling now. She's not even 5 months old and has been doing this for the last 2 weeks. I can't believe how FAST she's growing up!!!!


I went to Eau Claire and saw the Yarn Harlot. It was great!!! She is just hilarious. I know, what an oxymoron. A woman talking about *knitting* is hilarious?! Well, I sure thought so! And so did about 200+ men AND women!!!!


I sat next to some super nice ladies from Marshfield/Wausau. I am drawing a complete blank at your names, so if you read this, post a comment and I'll add your names if you'd like!!! Megan was kept entertained by these ladies for most of the time we were there.




Then she spent the rest of the time like this in my Pea In a Pod Pouch.



She was just soooo tired! I wanted to head back to the yarn store for the book signing, but, with Megan sleeping and the massive headache I had, I just went back to my parents' house for the night.

The Tuesday before that I woke up to hear a crazy racket outside. I had forgotten we were getting our little tiny driveway re-asphalted that day. Seth was entranced for the entire 90minutes or so that they were outside. He will probably talk about that for the next 10 years of his life!!! Here's some pics from our steps:






Before that was Labor Day weekend and we camped at my parents' house. There were 42 of us at one point. Did I mention I *stupidly* offered to cook for EVERYONE ALL WEEKEND???? Yup. Thank goodness I'm a good cook who chose to cook simple meals. Here's how Megan spent a lot of the weekend.



She's in the Amby Jump-Jump that is an accessory to her Amby bed. This bed is incredible!!!! Megan can be laid in there awake and happy with her nuk and a blanket and is asleep in minutes!!!! No fussing, no crying, just sweet slumber! I even had the mosquito net with to put on the outside of her bed so she could take all her naps in there over the 4-day weekend. She just slept outside in her bed during the day and in the tent on the airmattress at night.

My hands are starting to get awfully tired from all this typing, so I'll leave you with a couple cute baby pictures!





I'll try to update a knitting post tomorrow!
