[At Thing Two's birthday party with her friends, after she opened presents, when the girls were opening up the packages so they could play with all the Littlest Pet Shop goodies...]

Hubby:  They’re all control freaks!

Me: Of course they are; they’re all girls.

The only reason I’m including this with the WIPs is b/c I *have* done all my swatching; I just need to cast on.

These need to be finished.  Again, click for explanations.

Yes, I know Bobcat’s scarf is not pictured here.  I *have* made progress, but it’s hard to tell, so I didn’t bother to take a picture of it.

One of the best things I got out of the Ergonomics for Knitters class was the permission - nay, the command - to have knitting ADD and have many WIPs at once, switching back & forth between a couple of different projects each day.  It is best for my carpal tunnel for me to switch between projects of different gauges with different techniques instead of just doing the same old stuff all the time.  Yippeeee!

These are both headed for the frog pond (click for bigger & explanations):

These are the next-up sample knits.  I could tell you what they are, but then I’d have to kill you:

Hubby and the Things makin’ banana bread last Sunday.  Girls are wearing pajamas b/c it was “Pajama Day” at church for the kids - a smart move on the morning after we turned the clocks forward, eh?  Click to embiggen, etc.

Isn’t it just a cryin’ shame that Thing Two is so afraid of the camera, lol?

Me:  Feel this.

Hubby:  [blank look]

Me:  It’s the yarn for that project for Chris.  Feel it.

Hubby:  It’s yarn.

Me:  Feel how soft it is!

Hubby:  [Half-heartedly touching the Mmmmalabrigo]  It’s YARN.

Some people just don’t get it, lol!

T2:  Did you finish my shrug today?

Me:  No.

T2:  Did you work on it?

Me:  No.  Actually, I haven’t even knit at all yet today.

T2:  THAT’S scary…

I’d say that Miss Madera enjoys her blankie.  What do you think?

4:28 a.m.

Hubby:  Guess what?

Erica:  Mmmnnnrgh?

Hubby:  Thing One just puked all over the place.

Erica:  Did she at least make it to the bathroom?

Hubby:  Nope.
