Yarn Along

Joining Ginny over at Small Things with Yarn Along.  This week I have finished up Isaiah's Christmas socks.  I'm just so proud that I finished a pair of socks on (actually ahead) of schedule.  Colin's socks from last Christmas still look like this...  Ah well, maybe I'll get them done for next Christmas.  Or never. :)  I'm reading Paddle to the Sea with Isaiah for his "school" right now.  Great descriptive language.

Also on the needles is my Tea Leaves cardigan (which I love) and hope those little poorly knit stitches in the body block out.  A Tiny Tea Leaves cardigan for my tiny Lulu (which I also love) is also in the works.  I'm almost done the second thrummed mitten as well.  Good progress on the knitted items in the last little while.  Rainy days spent indoors with sicky kids seem to allow for more time to knit.  There's that silver lining.

Thanksgiving Weekend at Camp IAWAH

Ropes Courses

Trust Games

By the end of the weekend we were all a little tired

Pie always helps.

And sometimes you just need to get to bed as soon as possible...which means supper in the tub.

I have been feeling guilty for not writing here lately.  It is not for lack of material - but for lack of time.  I thought some photo highlights from our Thanksgiving at Camp IAWAH would help me get back into the rhythm of posting.  Thanksgiving weekend had the most beautiful weather in history and we spent as much of it outdoors as we could.  Naturally, the kids picked up colds from all of the sharing of toys and germs from new friends, but it was all worth it.

Pumpkin Picking

The weather has turned here and brought with it lots and lots of rain.  A couple of weekends ago the weather cleared just enough for us to drive out to Miller's Farm and pick up our annual pumpkins.  One for carving and two for pies. yum.
