I’m not sure why Carrie decided to wriggle half out of her shirt, but was really hard not to laugh when she did. So instead I took pictures! This is the first time she’s managed to extricate herself from any clothing that isn’t already part way off (besides shoes and socks). I figure she’s going [...]
No pictures, because it’s way late and I don’t want to take flash pictures of it, but I’ve picked up FLAK again. I had put it down to start a baby sweater (no pictures of that either, sorry) but I had to do some cabling today! I finished the back while Carrie napped this afternoon [...]
Dear Carolyn, In the past month I think I’ve entirely lost the little baby I brought home, but she’s been replaced by the coolest little girl, so it’s all good. You’re such a good-natured little person: you’ve had a cold on and off for this entire month, cut another front tooth plus two molars, and [...]
Apparently, Carrie has mixed up the words “stop” and “Spot”. She signs “stop” when we read books about “Spot”. It’s so cute I really can’t correct her. She’ll learn the difference eventually, right? Tonight we had a birthday party for the older of my younger brothers, and Carrie was in a showing-off mood. She demonstrated [...]
Carrie absolutely adores Annie’s whole-wheat bunny crackers. She dug this box out of the bags of groceries on Sunday and carried it all over the house giggling with glee while we put everything else away. We found them quite by accident a few weeks ago when we were looking for her “cookies” in the natural [...]
Our favorite grocery store, Wegmans, has recently begun selling reusable canvas grocery bags. They’re very roomy and sturdy. We bought one several weeks ago to try out, and when we remember to bring the bag with us it’s great. Except… Not one single cashier at the store has the slightest clue how to use them. [...]
OK, so it’s only one sock. But I’m super happy with how it came out. I actually knit a good deal of it during breaks in rehearsals, so it was a pretty easy lace pattern to keep track of. I grafted the toe last night, but I didn’t cast on the second sock because the [...]
I’m really glad we have a generator. The power started browning out at 7:30 this morning, and went down for good about 15 minutes later. Best guess as to when it will be back up, according to the power company, is 1:00. And really what the guy said was that that’s the earliest it might [...]
I’ve been in rehearsals for the high school musical for the past 7 weeks, and I’ve noticed several girls wearing t-shirts that say something along the lines of “Brunette: it’s the new blond”. (Don’t get me started on the pants that say things across the butt. Carrie will so not be allowed out of the [...]
I thought it was pretty funny that today’s Blue’s Clues episode was all about “Love Day”. Is there a reason they can’t call it Valentine’s Day? Yes, I know what the Blue’s Clues episode was about. That’s one of the two shows I let Carrie pick between once a day – the other one being [...]
