november eight :: 149 weeks old

Mack got up around 7:30 am this morning, and I brought him into bed with me this morning. We watched some tv while he drank his morning bottle, and I tried to get a bit more sleep. We hung out, it was nice to "chill" with him. He's got quite the personality - one which is 150% different from his brother. While I was getting ready for us to go out, Mack was playing in my "hair accessories" drawer in the bathroom, and so he took a liking to one of my scarves, so I put it on his head and he was just too cute.

Late morning I ran 2 errands with Mack. First we went to the art store up the street from my house, I needed to get a special ruler for my sewing class that was sold there. Next stop was to pick up some more foam mats for Babette. I want to start blocking the squares to size. I want to take care of that this week.

When we got in, we ate lunch and then Mack took a nap. I had Amy over for a bit, we sat outside in the backyard and knit. Harley ran around, so he could get some of his energy out and I worked a on a new test knit of my own designs. Let me tell you, that I am loving it, and I cannot put it down. I can see this one getting done super fast. I just can't put the needles down. I hear myself saying out loud "Oh, just one more row!"

Sean is 149 weeks old today.
And he's home!!!
I missed him & Jamie big time while they were away this past weekend.
They had a great time, which is good!
While I enjoyed some peace & quiet, I am super glad that they are back.

Sean was pooped from his trip he told me. He had to put up his feet when they got home.

This afternoon I made my grandmother a necklace for her birthday since we saw her this evening for dinner. When she opened her gift tonight, (she shares a birthday with my brother, which was yesterday) she turns to me and says "How did you know?" I'm like "How did I know what?" She says "How did you know that I had an outfit that I am bringing with me to Florida that I didn't have any jewelry that matched?" Apparently it matches the outfit (which she plans to wear for New Years Eve) to the tea. Am I good, or what?? I told her that the beads screamed out her name and I had to make this specific necklace for her.

My mom & Mack at dinner tonight.

Brotherly Love.

This picture above proves how badly Sean needs a haircut. He's next on the list. Hopefully next weekend. Unless, I find time before to take him. His hair, is just out of control. I'm starting to call him Kramer!

Jamie and I watched some Dexter tonight after putting the kids to bed and I worked on my newest test knit... I really cannot put it down. The yarn and the pattern are just flowing together, I love it. Hopefully I'll have it sooner rather than later to be able to show it off!
