Some small progresses today
Nov. 20th, 2010 04:56 pmTraumatized the children for life this morning, by holding them down and brushing their hair. They're both certain it's the worst thing they've ever experienced. In my defense, both of them had the world's worst case of bed head this morning, complete with bits of blanket fuzz tangled in, so the nrushing was quite a project.
To make up for the trauma, we put on shoes and jackets and went out for a run-around. I got three bales of wheat straw spread around the new trees at the north end of the house. The kids helped--they're good at scattering things. Also took them for a wheel barrow ride. First in the wheel barrow and on top of a hay bale, which they LOVED but was a bit much for me to haul--70 lb of kids plus wet bale of straw. They were willing to settle for a second, longer ride without the hay bale.
After finally getting The Bug to nap, I found a small bin with a good lid, so By can have his own m*th-proof box for his handknit socks. Got all his socks dug out of my sock box (yes, my hand-knit socks get their own special box), which gives me more room, so yay!
The Sock Report: have most of the heel done on the mother-in-law socks. Had more done at one point, but The Bug has been "helping". Worked on the Sekrit Socks some last night, beed to do more.
Have found three hat patterns I want to make, and am sternly telling myself I can't start personal projects until more of my gifting projects are done. So of course, all I want to do right now is start something new.
