Cherry Blossoms

Ok, these pictures are self explanatory. We went to see the cherry blossoms at the Title Basin in DC. One word, WONDERFUL! The smell was fabulous (our allergies didn't even bother us), the crowds weren't as bad as I thought they would be. We decided to go around 5pm so many of the vacationers were gone by then. NC loved it so did the hubby. My favorite pic is NC stopping to smell the flowers. We had a great time. It rained hard last night so some of the blossoms were lost but not to worry, they still look great.

First Baby Sweater

Here is the first baby sweater I knit. I didn't put a zipper on it like the pattern called for. Instead, I added toggles that my mom bought. I thought it gave it a better look. It is a size 0-3 mos. It took less than one ball of yarn. My son picked out the yarn. I definitely recommend taking him along, as you can see, he has excellent taste!

Dorthy Update!!!!!

Ok, so we got the little guy his 2nd goldfish (we really got him 3, you figure it out). Last night, he asked me if he could change her name. I said, "Sure, what would you like to call her?"

He retorted, "Spot."

I giggled and told him that would be fine.

He proceeded to lean near the tank and say, "Hi Spot! Who's a good fishie? Who's a good fishie?!"

I nearly laughed my head off! I don't know where he heard that, but it truly was the cutest thing I have heard in a long time.

Hat for Hubby

Ok....so DC said he needs a hat that's thick and warm. He found a pattern that he liked and I didn't have any wool that was bulky enough for his liking. I did have two balls of grey that I LOVE and with a bit of laziness I decided to knit using two balls of yarn. Not unique by any means, but the color can't be duplicated. It turned out nice and thick.

If my younger sister was wondering, it is like using two balls of the yarn I bought for the sweater I started in CA. I like it. Too small for my HUGE melon, but perfect on the hubby. We'll see if he actually wears it.

Happy Birthday!

Look at the BEAUTIFUL flowers my hubby sent me for my birthday. He luffs me!

Butt Cramp

Just typing this makes me laugh. We were on the way back to the apartment when NC threw himself on the floor and hollered, "BUTT CRAMP!"

He got that from SpongeBob Squarepants. I know, we're bad parents. See how hard it is to reprimand when you're trying not to laugh. I got home and called G-ma and cried I was laughing so hard. What a kid!
