Happy Boy!

Dorri took this one.

Twins?

Don't these two photos look like either the same baby or at least twin
boys? Well, one is Elliott and one is Josh. Definitely brothers!

Boodles

This is a sweater I knit for Elliott forever ago and it now fits. Below is a picture of Josh sporting the sweater some time in January.

Pumpkin Land was a big success with Josh and Jane's preschool class. The kids got to go through a corn maze, see a lot of farm animals, play at two different play grounds and pick out their own little pumpkins. Each activity was cooler than the last and they had so much fun running around like maniacs. A big thanks to Grandma Jones for watching Elliott so I could chase the kids around Pumpkin Land.












P.S. Yes, I know Jane has a twin. However Josh will not stay still for anything let alone my camera so I just have a few of him. Oh well.

Wish I was Knitting

This will be Josh's new hat if I can get back to knittin' any time soon. I jacked up my right arm picking up our little mouse and I am not suppose to be knitting for a bit, well or typing right now.....cough. So anyway, I am almost done with this one and it is killing me not to finish it.

Josh was none too thrilled to try it on because A) I didn't make him a "carrot hat", and 2) apparently this one is a bit "scratchy". In the picture below you can see Jane's finger pointing out that Josh does not in fact like said hat. Thanks Jane, very helpful.

I feel like he should wear it anyway, isn't there a time honored tradition of children enduring lovingly crafted clothes only because their mom made them. I mean once you put some much time into something shouldn't someone, somewhere have to wear it, no matter how hideous? It's not like he is in school yet and in peril of being torn to pieces on the play ground. Is that wrong?
