The kids would spend every waking second in the backyard, but sometimes they have to come in for a bath or a nap. They live a rough life.

Today we’re moving the yarn store. I’m very excited because it’s literally going to be a block from my house. Ahh, the joys of living downtown. Now Jim and I can both walk to work. The gas savings alone… I just keep thinking of all those times I’ve rushed to work because Jim was late getting home to watch the kids… no more!

In other yarn related news, I cast on Picovoli last night. Should I be casting on any new projects? Most definitely not. I’m already in the middle of a linen print shawl, the curly scarf in Loop d Loop, a baby sweater, my second Koigu sock and a bag. But I couldn’t resist. You can’t blame me for my lack of knitting self control, can you? Maybe you’re still doubtful, lets look at the yarn.

I’m using Rowan All Seasons Cotton, it’s pretty huh?

Now you’re convinced, right? I’m imagining it with a jean skirt or some cute capris, or just some jeans. See, really, I just HAVE to knit this. I have no choice.

Jim’s little birthday celebration was a success. We had a yummy meal and headed over to the mall for a movie. V for Vendetta wasn’t playing until 9:45 (of course) so we saw Failure to Launch, which I thought was hilarious. We had a little time before the movie started so we headed over to Target. It’s like we’re just pulled to Target when we’re at the mall, it’s the default, I suppose. This turned out to be pretty ironic because yesterday there was a small interview with me in the local paper about how we always end up at Target on date nights. funny.

Little Miss Eden got her ears pierced on Friday. I’ve been trying to talk her into getting them pierced for quite awhile so when she told me that she wanted them pierced, we went right to the mall to get them done. She looks cute, but won’t pose for a photo right now. So instead, I’ll leave you with some puppy shots.
