We Love Picnics
Posted by: OoKnittyLou on: July 31, 2011
Jack and I spent most of our Sunday at the park. We hauled a blanket, picnic lunch, wagon, Diesel, and ourselves into the little Honda and we were off. Our desination was the Kendrick Lake Park on Jewell Ave near Garrison in Lakewood because it has a lot of shade and two playgrounds, both of [...]

Water Wings Rock!

<a From Jack Snapshots 3-4 Yesterday, Jack, my sister-in-law Danielle, and I enjoyed a wonderful morning at our pool. Jack has always been very hesitant in the water and had always insisted on holding onto the wall or playing on the steps. Until he wore water wings for the first time. My mother gifted these [...]
Pink Explosion

While I was getting ready for the swimming pool this morning, I was glancing around trying to find my towel and realized something. I am truly a pink-oholic! I started grabbing all of the pink items I could see without digging for any and this is what I got. And not only are they pink [...]

This is what happens when boys have too much time on their hands with mundane household products at hand. LOL. You gotta love them! From Jack Snapshots 3-4 From Jack Snapshots 3-4 And yes. That IS masking tape!

My son has figured out the whole “super hero” concept and has decided that he is one. Who knew!? He asked my mom last week if she would make him a cape so he can fly. We went to Hobby Lobby that same day and bought the fabric. He picked out the colors and couldn’t [...]
Making The Most Of A Lunch Hour
Posted by: OoKnittyLou on: July 14, 2011
So, I really have nothing of super-importance to blog about today, but I do have something to say. So often, I will speak to someone about a novel recommendation, or about a really good film. I may encourage someone to pick up knitting or crocheting. And so frequently their response is, “I just don’t have [...]

Alrighty, so while my life can tend to already be pretty hectic, I have just added another project. My best friend of many years just had her baby as you all already probably know and she mentioned that she received a hand-knit hat for Miss Lily before they were discharged from the hospital. I spoke [...]

I had dance last night. For those of you that don’t know, I currently take 2 beg/int ballet classes each week. I started dancing 5 or 6 years ago but then took a 3 year sabbatical when I was pregnant and when Jack was little. I have officially been back reliably since Jan 2011. I [...]
Baldwin the Bathroom Monster
Posted by: OoKnittyLou on: July 10, 2011
From Knitting Projects He’s finished! I initially thought the yarn was absolutely hideous, but it actually knit up kind of cute for a monster. The pattern was very, very simple and I have come to love magic loop. I’m going to cast on for my 3rd monster tommorrow. My little helper, LuLu helped me to [...]
