Learned how to crochet this month too!

I saw the cutest hat online and I thought "Hey, I could do that!"
Well, it doesn't look anything like the one I saw, but for my first project, and no pattern, I think it is pretty ok!

Here is the top (well the front really.. you get the idea)


It's a kitty by the way... You know, just in case you couldn't tell by the pointy ears and all ;)





and this is the second project. The Cindy Lou Who hat (it's not really called that, but she looks like a Dr. Seuss character in it LOL!)


Now I have all kinds of yarn left, my kids are going to have hats coming out their yin yang! maybe a scarf too, who knows!

No white Christmas here

I love that we get barely any snow here... Well, in comparison to my hometown, where the white stuff goes for miles until you are blinded by it!
We did get snow for a few weeks (that called for school 2 hour delays and cancellations -- wimps!) and the kids were soo excited they got to pull out the (dusty LOL) box of snow gear!
Addie ws a litte unsure about the whole thing, but liked to watch her siblings fall in it!














Of course, now all the snow has melted and we have rain, rain, rain and we are sitting at about 60F (about 15C)

Busy busy busy!

I can't believe it has been almost a month since I've been on here! Whoops!
Well, December has been (apparently) a busy month for us! We had 2 birthdays, Christmas, and a broken ankle!
Addison, the youngest, broke her ankle (fractured tibia) She had to wear a splint for just over 3 weeks. Here are a few highlights:

Day one:






Here is me washing her smelly leg after taking everything off!



The xrays: the first is the broken tibia and the second is the healed version!






All better!
