1st day of school

Well, she's off. And so excited - no bye, no hug, no nothing - just hop on that big yellow bus and GO. Hard to believe she is in 3rd grade already - where has the time gone???

I of course, have been up since 5:00 a.m. Not getting ready for her to go to school, but getting the cooler packed for Todd to take on a work fishing trip to Lake Erie. They left at 5:30, which left me nothing but an hour and a half to work on this:

And this:


Pincushion and Needlebook for a swap

It was nice having that little bit of time to do some little things that I really, really need to get done and sent off, however....I am SO not a morning person, so I don't see this becoming a part of my daily routine:)

I thought about attempting some knitting, but when I see projects that my Mom has started - why should I attempt it when I can make her a quilt in exchage for something knitted? ... although I am dying for some socks.. and I just keep pointing her in this direction so she sees all these wonderful sweaters I want someday....

I have been waiting for your post today. I wanted to see Jessica on the first day of school. I can't believe she is in the third grade and so grown up. Where did the years go. I am working on the knitting, just socks and sweaters are new to me. You know I can whip out a scarf in no time, but its time to move on to something with a little more challenge.

Awe, how cute! KK starts school for the first time (EVER) next Monday. She is starting pre-K. It's only half a day, but still. This momma is sad. I'm excited for her though.

Have a great week!
