A few little things

Our new house has this beautiful built-in cabinetry.  I think you're supposed to use it to display all of your beautiful, um, stuff.  We don't really have beautiful things to display.  We don't really have things that are just for display at all.  Luckily Isaiah takes care of it by filling our built-ins with his Lego creations.  He and Eliza both like to put their most important toys up high just in case babies come to visit.  Most of my friends are still reproducing, so we do have littler kids here quite a bit, but it still cracks me up when they insist on putting everything out of reach.

Made this one for Eliza Mae during a snowstorm a couple of weeks ago.  I'm not sure I like my yarn choice.  I'm going to try it again in a solid color.  I love finding vintage patterns online.  This one was from the 1950's.  It also had a pattern for a matching one for mom, but I'm opting out.

Made some Valentine robot shirts for my kids this year.  They turned out just okay; luckily the kids are turning out super cute so it doesn't matter what I put them in!

I really do work hard all day.  Usually I finally sit down to rest about 30 seconds before Jerel gets home, which I think gives him the impression that I've just been resting all day.  So I post this as evidence that I do accomplish things.  Maybe there's mac & cheese all over the kitchen floor (that's because I think it's way more efficient to just wait until it dries; then you can sweep it right up instead of picking it up one by one) and maybe the kids faces are dirty (that's because dirt/food on faces doesn't bother me.  You can clean it off but it's just going to get dirty again.  I believe in just saving it all up for bath time.  It's called batch processing and I learned about it in grad school (although I came up with the dirty face application of the principle all on my own) so it must be something smart people do), but none of that should lead a person to believe I haven't had a productive day.
