Where do you…

Kim had this on her blog recently and I decided that it looked fun to save and use.

1. Where do you fold your laundry? Usually standing by my bed. I make piles of clothing for each of us and have the largest amount of space to spread things out in this location without little hands getting into things.

2. Must you be sure the dishes are washed before you go to bed each night? No, we try to at least put them into the dishwasher, but that does not always have them. There are nights when we sometimes leave things soaking in the sink for the morning.

3. Do you use caller id to screen your calls? Yes! I especially had to use this when I was teaching. One of the kids got my number (now even more hidden) and started to harass me.

4. Do you let the low fuel light come on in your car before you fill up? This has hardly ever happened. I try to keep at least 1/4 of a tank minimum.

5. Are you a registered voter? Sure am, I could have cared less about turning 21. I was quite excited to be 18 and able to vote!

6. Breakfast for dinner is one thing, but can you eat dinner for breakfast? Leftover items like cold pizza and other options that are quick are definite possibilities if need be.

7. Do you click on the ads you see on people’s blogs? Sure, if it is something that catches my eyes I will go and check it out.

8. Do you just want to yell at smokers who are clearly standing within 50ft of the door at a restaurant? Ugh, smoking is a pet peeve that I inherited from my mother. I saw how living with two smokers ruined her lungs and hate being forced to breathe in the poison when out in public. It is one thing to make the choice to do it your self, but another to impose it on others.

 Thanks for the fun Kim!

We are now off to get ready to head to great-grandma’s 94th birthday party. The trip is 2 1/2 hours each way. I am quite nervous about it since the little guy has had a fever (gone for almost 48 hours now) and rash. We believe he is having a reaction to the MMR vaccine that he had recently. This morning the spots on his stomach and back are faded some, but his face looks worse. Hopefully he will sleep the entire way there and be in a good mood.

A Knitting Tale

Ooops! I am late blogging again. Not to worry, I have not been sitting around on my head, no I leave that to my kids!

Head over heels

Please note, no toddler was hurt in the taking of that photo. JSL is strange and actually asks us to flip him upside down. If we do not understand this he will bend over and put his head down and bark at us to grant his wish.

Silly me, I decided to work on a hobby that I have been putting on the back burner recently. Of course I am talking about knitting. With both boys home for almost three weeks before kindergarten started, birthday party preparations (including building Mount Dinocake), time with family, a newly walking 15 month old, and of course reading Breaking Dawn – knitting was put on hiatus.

That is not to say that no knitting has been going on. After my summer bloggy giveaway I immediately set to work to make two M&M cloths for my winner. Since she had two children I made one for each in their favorite color to include in my package. This is what I sent to her (along with some pens that were not in the photo):

My Bloggy giveaway from Summer 2008

I have also been making DW Cloths here and there. Tonight I took out the collection of them that I have on hand that have not been given as gifts (whether for birthdays, just because, weddings, bridal showers, baby gifts. . . ) or used by us. I have thirteen of them in a wide variety of colors.

A Yarn Rainbow

Here is another view of the thirteen DW cloths that remain.

The 13 that remain unused or givenaway 

Right now I am going to take a break from the DW cloths to knit a scarf for my niece who turns one in a few short weeks. Something I learned last winter was that they do not make scarves for little toddlers and in our neck of the woods, kids need them! I called my sister-in-law up today to find out what colors would be best. After several conference calls from the yarn store we came up with a lilac color. 

Scarf-to-be

Slowly I will play catch up on things that have been going on here, but I wanted to update on my knitty goodness.

Me, A-Z

A few weeks back

Here it goes:

Accent:  I do not really have one, although people from the south or other countries may disagree.

Breakfast or no breakfast: Must have something for breakfast or else . . . *evil grin*

Chore I don’t care for: Hate cleaning the bathroom. JL is really sweet and will typically take care of the shower/tub and from time to time I will help with the toilet.

Dog or Cat: ACHOO! If I was not allergic to most dogs, dogs would be my choice. Definitely a bird person.

Essential Electronics: Digital camera, MP3 player, laptop, cell phone and battery recharger.

Favorite Cologne: None – makes me sneeze!

Gold or Silver: White gold

Handbag I carry most often: Usually I have our diaper bag (LL Bean little backpack) and a small purse.

Insomnia: My motto is a Barenaked Ladies song "Who needs sleep?"

Job Title: SAHM, teacher on hiatus right now.

Kids: 2, unless you count hubby (LOL)

Living Arrangements: House with my two little boys and husband.

Most Admirable Trait: Good at planning out and following through on projects (unless they involve cleaning). 

Naughtiest Childhood Behavior: Had fun taunting my little brother. That only lasted until he was taller than me and took up wrestling at school.

Overnight hospital stays: UTI when pregnant with NHL, birth of both boys, and stayed with JSL while he was in the hospital four nights in February.

Phobias: Not a bug person, but nothing that I would really classify as a phobia really.

Quote: “TBSS!" (typically said to JL) or "I so need to blog this!"

Reason to smile: My family – I love my three boys!

Siblings: 1 younger and much taller brother

Time I wake up: Trick question – it depends on which kiddo wakes up before the alarm. When school starts we will have to be up by 6:00.

Unusual Talent or Skill: Can not really think of anything. Hmmm. . . .

Vegetable I Refuse to Eat: Cooked peas

Worst Habit: I look into things way too much and always wonder "what if"

X-rays: Lots of dental x-rays, chest for bronchitis/pneumonia, and wrist after being hit by a car.

Yummy Stuff: Chocolate chip cookie dough – YUM!

Zoo Animal I Like Most: Giraffe or polar bear

Want to do it too? Copy and paste it here! Be sure to let me know so I can check it out as well!
