Aaahh, Children!

Hi Everyone, just a little awol, sorry about that! Way tooooo much going on, and by the time I think "ah, I'll blog while online tonight", I can't think of too much stuff to write about!
Anyway, today my son and I went to the park, had a picnic and a little hike. We live on the lake, well our city is on the lake, I am not one of these lucky ones with a lakefront property! Anyway, I digress, we just spent a mommy and son day together. The weather has been beautiful today, the humidity will arrive tomorrow (uucck!) so we made the best of spending the afternoon in the garden. My son was a little stuck for something to do, so I thought I would get him a bucket of water -- he loves simple things like that, and can spend forever splashing, sitting in it (!) etc. As for me, I thought I would cast on a lovely little sock pattern for babies (auntie countdown 1.5 months!), so I got organized, plunked my butt down, and did so.
"Look Mom" was the next I heard -- and this is what I found at the end of the patio....


I don't know where the gorilla pose came from, but Mr. Dinosaur underwear, had covered himself in mud! Never have I seen him do this -- just to the right of this picture is the bucket, beside that....the veg. garden! Ah ha -- straight into the bath!!
So is the summer life in our household! I just thought that this would be cute to share, here's a more "regular" picture of him....


As for this knitting, I am still working on sock 1 from The Yarn Harlots sock recipe, and have just cast on these teeny baby socks, that are K1P1, turned cuff. I am planning this weekend is taking out a sweater that my mom started for this little guy, 5 years ago, but never finished. I thought I would attempt to finish it and give it to my sister at her baby shower on the 24th. As my mom passed away 2 years ago from cancer, I thought it would be nice for her to have something from mom. Let's hope I can continue to be creative from this point on in terms of the blog, simply the busiest time of year for my business, so I have been dashing all over -- all the time.
Talk Soon!
