you know

you know it's been a while since you blogged when you almost forget your pass-code.

i have a confession: i am an addict. a big one. to knitting. i picked up knitting last year for the third time in my life. this time it's sticking. i think the kids help. it's fun to knit stuff for them (but more fun for me) and it gives me needed mama time. knitting is easy to pick up and put down. knitting just a row gives me satisfaction. now, the down side to this is i knit whenever i have a free minute. i still do the dishes, hang with kids, occasionally clean, converse with the outside, etc etc. but in the past in my spare time i would do other things, like blog.

you would think my knitting production would be huge. HUGE. but it is not. because i am not a fast knitter. especially right now knitting the sleeves of my first sweater. for me. i thought i was almost done, until i got to the sleeves. and last night i cast on for a hooded sweater for kai. he is my hoodie - meaning he loves to wear anything with a hood. this goes with the age i think.

this year he's been into magic, weaponry, being secretive, all things suspicious and dangerous. poor boy, i bought him some black fabric about a month ago to make him a black hooded villain cape to go with his sword. i haven't taken the fabric out of the bag. why? knitting.

so, bottom line is i'm not sure where this blog is going. but i do know my kids are super cute, fun, and full of surprises. so i leave you with my favorite pictures of them over the past couple weeks.

heavy on the zaiah photos.... only because many with kai were very, very blurry.
