*My little sister returned from a 10 day vacation in Switzerland last week. She brought me some yummy chocolate and coffee and this Oh, so cool necklace.
*Eden and I made a trip to Old Navy this weekend. They finally had in the store this shirt that I’d been wanting ever since they emailed me about it. Shhh, don’t tell them their spam email is effective.
*We also went out to the yarn store, which we found out is moving SO much closer to me!! yay! I bought some blue cotton linen to knit a tank. The pattern is out of some random knitting mag I bought on clearance for .50 cents. And I bought sock yarn! Here’s my progress thus far. (it’s a stretchy cotton)
I’m surprised to say that the size 3 needles aren’t getting to me like I thought they would.
*After the trip to the yarn store, we went to the “ice cream store” where Eden had to have “Pink ice cream, not with a spoon and not with a straw.” She settled for a cherry dipped cone.
*We also went that night to see Madagascar while Honor and Jim went to a guys Playstation/Xbox night for the youth group. Eden really liked it, she sat on the edge of her seat the whole time and kept saying cute things very loudly like, “That ‘zwebra’ is SO funny.” I thought it was OK for a cartoon, I just really hate how they’re making the humor in children’s movies a bit too “adult.”
*Eden starts her teeny tiny ballet class tomorrow. She’s peeing her pants with excitement and I’m sure there will be more about it tomorrow.

Cute shirt! I need to do do more one on one things with Hailee. She always has to be put on hold when the baby needs something. That sounded like some fun mommy/daughter time!

we must be related because I posted a link to an old navy item myself…(okay, that was the lamest reason)

sounds like you gals had some great girl time together!!
and i know what you mean about them putting adult humor in children’s cartoons. that’s why i’m not a big fan of shrek.

i was looking at that same shirt at old navy today, too! only in an eggplanty sort of wine color.
i totally agree with you on the adult humor in kids movies…and i’m not even a mama yet! it bugged me in shrek and in sharktale… i dunno, maybe i’m easily offended but i wouldn’t want my little ones picking up on the smacktalk and poop humor in some of those movies. give me something sweet and gentle any day.

I’m so with you on the adult humor in movies aimed at kids. I understand the need to keep adults engaged, but I find that movies like Mary Poppins keep my attention just as well as Shrek.
And, despite making this a longer post, I have to say a marvelous thing happened when I saw your knitted sock. Even before I found out I was pregnant (again–I’m 14 wks now) I have found the very idea of knitting made me feel nauseous. I used to knit every day! And I couldn’t even look at needles without feeling “ew”. But for the fist time in three months I looked at your knitting and thought, “Hey–that looks like fun.” I’m so glad! My interest in knitting is coming back and I have your sock to thank for it! Yea!
