Strong but sensitive

I had a quiet day in the kitchen while the kids were out playing with friends. I whipped up some facial products and deodorant for the manthing: strong but sensitive. Unfortunately my "perfect cream" is less than, for some reason it won't stay emulsified.

Day four of summer vacation, and I am still happy to have this great kid home. I started him up knitting and he has decided to make a case for his nintendo. Today when I suggested he put his book down he tried reading and knitting, amazing!

Wednesday is water day!

I love that the lake has loaner life jackets!

I love when he smiles like that!

I love when they play nicely together for hours and I can finish knitting their Easter slippers!

Happy Monday to the world.

Today marks the beginning of our summer vacation 2009.
I would like to grow 1,000 pounds of food in the garden. I would like to take a drawing class. I would like to go camping a couple of times. I hope the kids get crafty with me.

manthing's latest project

Please go and watch the movie, let me know what you think of the hats!

After listening to the Hawkquest lecture on raptors, mo and I wanted to learn more about our birds. A trip to the library, and we learned our storytime librarian is a birder and she told us we could see 200 birds varieties in our own yard! We brought home a few bird books and borrowed j's binoculars and we are on our way. Now if only I could remember what kind of bird this one is...

so cool

Things I would like to accomplish this week:
--sisters birthday present, nearly one month late
--kids slipper, was shooting for these to be Easter gifts
--finish toe on current sock knitting, again waiting 30 or more days
--plant more veggies
--clean, organize office space

I am sure I could add more but if I keep it short I have a better chance at finishing some of it. Now I need to take that one step towards doing something on the list :-)
