There has been so much going on here, but I have been able to get a little bit of knitting done.  I’m using Meditation from Skacel…and it is lavender scented!  I am surprised how much I like knitting with this yarn.  The scent is pleasant, not over-powering. 

I don’t know why it’s a little distorted.  Big son was trying to hold the branch down so I could put it on it and the dog started running off with the yarn wrapped on his tail while the one daughter was telling the other daughter that I couldn’t take the phone because I was trying to take a picture of my scarf hanging in the tree.  They don’t get it. 

We get to get away a little bit this weekend, our future son-in-law is graduating from college this Saturday so we’re going to get a room so we don’t have to get up at 3 a.m. to get there.  I plan to take books to read and my shawl to work on and hubby and I will get a pleasant quiet time while our daughter goes to some open house with him.  We will feel like kids getting dumped off on the way somewhere! 

Maybe Saturday there will be some time to find a yarn store or two but I’m not going to count on it.  We’ll go out to eat with his parents afterwards and then do something fun just the two of us. 

I will leave you with this….

Does this look like the face of an innocent boy?  Well, don’t let it fool you.  Evidently yesterday, he decided we all needed to move our bedrooms.  He moved my husband’s clothes (a LOT of them) to his room and heaped them at the foot of his bed.  Then he took my clothes and dumped them into his sister’s room.  Then he took her clothes and put them in our room and took all of his clothes (which we keep downstairs) up to our room and piled them all over the place.  He was excited that he and big sis could now share a room!  I am not even going to ask why he managed to get that much stuff moved without anyone noticing.  The thing I have to remember is that he is capable of doing massive damage of this kind in a very short time.  His favorite show used to be Trading Spaces because he loved how they would speed up the moving out process.  That’s how he operates!  Oh gosh, as I told some friends today….when hubby came downstairs and told me last night, I started to giggle that terrible giggle that says this is not funny but I don’t know what else to do.  And Dad?  A more even-tempered man would be hard to find, but he was NOT happy. 

We both know, though, that when we see that smiling face in the morning and late at night, it’s all worth it. 

ps:  he is NOT sleeping and he is certainly not innocent!!!
