10 Days since my last post!

So, I have been a slacker! I guess I am still trying to figure out how we got from sweaters to books on the last post!
What have I been doing for the past week and a half? Well you can all thank Cheryl I have a new hobby (like I have time for another one) I made another sweater! It is beautiful. AND it actually fits Claire! I was really sick last week so...I was on the couch A LOT... That is no fun, I am paying for it this week...Still trying to find the house in all the clutter that accumulated over the few days (and having a 12 year old try her hand at laundry)! haha...
Also sitting at the basketball games I was able to knit some. I felt like an old grandmother! It was funny...OH, basketball finished last night. They didn't do well the second half of the season so, no playoffs. Rest until March then we start softball... BE WARNED!! :)

OK...Enough on all that Here is the question? If you know anything about the movie The End of the Spear please give a little input. If you have seen it, are not going to see it, on the fence about it. I have heard nothing but good reviews about it until today when I got an e-mail containing
this. Hmmm...What do you think? I would like a little feedback, I know that Phil will be a little disappointed when he reads this article. I know that I was but then again, we do have to remember that it is a Hollywood production and not one of the several commentaries that we have seen over the past year.
OK...Got to get back to cleaning!

A New Sweater!

I hit the new shop here in town last week (A Knitters Garden) I am not a big knitter I went with Cheryl the week before. I saw the cutest little sweater, however I know how busy I am and I don't have much time to just sit and knit. I kept thinking of this sweater for a week. I was obsessed with it. So I went back, looked at it again and I figured it looked easy enough I would give it a try (I can knit I just don't do it very often) Very simple garter stitch one piece work from the back to the front, I thought that I would give it a try. I LOVED the yarn that she used however, she didn't have any of those colors that she had made the one I loved out of. So, I started picking up different yarns and looking to see which colors I liked together (for a baby) I settled with a muli-colored nubby sort of yarn and I picked out a deep red for the contrast. I started knitting on the way up to the basket ball game. I was thrilled at how fast it knit up, in about 45 min I had 5 inches of the back done. So, I started playing with different ways to use the colors, the sample had been done in stripes (I have NEVER done stripes) I thought I would try and see what it looked like. I liked it, this sweater has a "bib" in the front, I made this in the solid red color, the stripes are every other row for a few inches in the back and over the shoulders and then I wanted to do something a little different so, I did 4 rows of the multi yarn and 2 rows of the red. It looks really cute! I am trying to think of some nice buttons for the bib, I think that a shell button would be really pretty with the colors of the yarn, but I think that wooden ones would be nice too! I am at a loss...It is all done except for the buttons, I finished the knitting last night and finished the weaving of the sides this afternoon. HOWEVER, it is much smaller than I thought it would be (due to using the wrong yarn) It will make a great gift for someone who is having a girl. I even think I know who it will go to as well. So, my camera is missing!! OOPS!!!!! I will get a picture of it as soon as I can find that camera, I think Anna had been taking pictures of Claire! So, that is my post A NEW SWEATER!! I am a little excited about the sweater, I have already started another one! Let's see how quick I can knit the next one...Bye
So, I found the camera and here is the picture of the little sweater!

I finally figured it out!!

So, praying with Cabot last night, it finally HIT me...As he prayed he asked that he would wake "fresh" in the morning after a good-night sleep, not "refreshed" and so, with that I guess his prayer was answered (this has been prayed many times)! I love my fresh 5 (almost 6) year old little boy. NOW I just need to get him to pray and ask to have a good-night sleep and wake "REFRESHED" in the morning! ahh...That may help us all.

I think that I should start a little journal of the cute little things that the kids say, I always say that and I never actually do it...Maybe with the blog I will. I will start with that one, and see what else comes out!

The Smartest Cat Ever!

OK, so I walked into the kitchen to see the cat reading! I thought it was worth a picture! Isn't she the cutest and smartest thing you have ever seen? snicker snicker! That is it that is my post! have a great day
