This Is Happening All Too Often

The boys are eating us out of house and home…

I have been sick, and Agnes has been sick. I haven’t been keeping up in the kitchen too much. I hope this week goes a bit better than last week. I have got to get my act together, and get my home stocked-up and back in shape.

Dylan’s Crocheted Afghan in Progress

I think I’ve been working on my second crocheted afghan for the last four weeks.

This one is for Dylan.

It is four different shades of green.

Dylan’s very favorite color is green.

It has been a fun project to work on. I’ve been crocheting on it during the afternoons, and evenings too.

I think I’m about a third of the way finished with the project.

Yesterday I had to move the project to a larger basket.

Dylan is pretty excited about the project too. He can’t wait to have a new blanket.

Home Sick

Well it is Agnes’ turn with the evil cold/flu… The boys are back at school, and both are feeling much better. Agnes is currently curled up on the couch miserable, but much better than she was yesterday. It has been a long week already.

Mondays…

Today the kids are out of school, so they actually slept in. I’m catching up on the laundry from the weekend, and I’m baking a Pumpkin Pie too. I thought about taking the kiddos on a couponing adventure this afternoon, but they wanted to stay in their pj’s instead. Oh well, it is chilly out there, and I’ve finally got my yarn to finish my project.

Hope you are having a Happy Monday!
