Basketball, baking and knitting

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. We had a good one.....I won't show a picture of the 5 trashbags full that I took out of the kids' rooms on Friday night in my efforts to clean the house:)Well, my pictures are out of order but here goes:

My newest knit - short lucky. I'm 8" into it and loving it. It's knit from the bottom up, which was causing me a panic attack hoping it won't be too short, but I'm simply knitting the length longer by 2 inches or so if it works, so all should be well. The color in this picture is not exactly right - it's more of an olive green than this grey toned green. I'm hoping to have it done by the weekend. I want to wear it in the worst way......

Jessie and I went shopping yesterday. For nothing fun (Jessie's medication, jeans for Todd and Tyler, a new wisk attachment for my KitchenAid mixer) until we stopped at the junk store. You know you will find something good in a store with a name called "Useful Junk," right? I had to have this scale and wait until you see the bench. The best $20 I spent all day. And that girl can shop with the best of them....

Jessie's comment was "good - we can use this scale to weigh out the pig feed this summer for her fair pigs." ummmm.....no. My postage scale goes down to a tenth of an ounce - I will use that again - what can I say - my obsessive compulsive tendencies come out when I'm weighing out pig feed.

I was in the mood to bake when we got home. Had to try out my new wire wisk and the silicone pastry mat I brought, right?

Sorry I didn't get a picture of the pie before we cut into it. What can I say - the kids and Todd love berry pies.....

And the basketball? 16 to 6 in our favor... The girls were a little intimidated when they first got out there - 3 of the girls on the other team were easily 5'6" tall.

So we now have 1 more game this weekend and then a tournament game. Right now our girls are in second place overall in their division.

Have a great day!
