Where has the time gone?

I am getting seriously bad about not keeping my blog updated. I think it is old age and I forget about it sometimes.


As far as knitting goes, I am currently making placemats for my son and dil's anniversary. I bought cloth napkins that blend with the fiber colors so they look nice. I am down to knitting my last two and can't wait to finish them. Then I can go back to knitting my boys their sweaters for Christmas. They have yet to be blocked so they are kind of the rough stage.


Thomas is going to be in a little mermaid play this weekend and we are looking forward to seeing that. Won't be long and he will be having his spring recital. I missed his last recital as I was violently ill that day and Jack didn't go because he didn't want to leave me alone. Don't know why as he can't hold the bowl over me... :)


I bought the cutest things for the boys easter baskets this year from Swiss Colony. I have an account with them and I bought these little round quarter sized chickens and bunnies that have a peanut butter filling (for T only as Jackson can't have peanut butter yet) and then got some cute green frogs that are chocolate truffles. I also bought these tiny slivers of cake that look like itty bitty ice cream cones I thought they might like. Thomas gets at least three baskets so I try and do a bit different for him. I got him a Wii card and a cute Webkinz turtle, which he collects. Jackson is potty training age and his mom requested stuff like that so I did a search and found the top rated book for kids on potty training (not for the parent but for the kid to read with the parent) It is a small book he can hold in his hand and I got a set of potty training stickers and bought him a box of "big boy" underpants.
I will try to do better about keeping up with things, but until next time...
