The day in pictures

A finished project:




Pattern: A Hat Fit For a Boyfriend
Yarn: LionBrand Wool Ease in Forest Green Heather
Needles: size 8 circs and dpns
Notes: knitted the rib for 6.25" instead of 5.5 as the pattern suggested. Otherwise, I followed it exactly and it turned out great! Yay! He shall now have a warm head and ears out in all that cold.


We had Sarah and her two younger kids over today to play in the snow. I know it looks like they're wrestling, but they were actually 'swimming' in the snow. :o)

We FINALLY got enough snow to build a snowman. Err... snow bunny. :o) I was so excited! I love snow when there's enough to play in and I don't have to drive in it.

Milo took no time at all to figure out exactly where the best bed in the house is. We've been letting him have access to Chloe's room now too, and he's doing great. He really and truly loves his new girl - they are so great together! Now if the dog would only realize that Milo is NOT a toy...

How to entertain myself when my man is out of town? Take pictures, of course!

Isn't she just gorgeous? :o) I love her.

Izzy saying hello...

And my little helper, who begged me to let her do dishes. So I did - all by herself. She did pretty good, actually.

Milo is quite settled in. In fact, he keeps trying to help himself to my lap, but there's a baby nursing in his way. He and Isabel had their first taste of one another today - quite literally. She wasn't trying to hurt him... she just wanted to see what cat actually tasted like, I'm sure. She opened her mouth slowly and gently, placed her jaws around his little head, and discovered quickly that such actions result in a quick smack on the nose. :oP Other than his close brush with death though, he's had a very nice day - he unwound a stray ball of yarn, played dress up and ballerina with his new girl, kept me sneezing consistently all day long, and happily adopted the baby's bouncer as his own personal pink plush cat bed. He's currently wrestling an apron string. I think he's going to be mighty entertaining.
