Where did the week go?

Well everyone, hate to say this, but didn't take any pics this week! So very sorry... Both the boys were still getting over their colds, then LB had to have several shots and that did him in for another 2 or 3 days. He finally started feeling better, but developed a cough last night.
He seems okay though, so I'm hoping this cough will pass quickly!
Good news though - my book went to the printers this week!
Love to you all...

Aachoo!

Earlier in the week (when it was a bit chilly), BB wanted to snuggle on the porch. Everytime the wind picked up, he would hide under his blanket. Fine by me, two is much warmer than one!

Wednesday afternoon BB got a fever, and soon after that his other cold syptoms started to show. Here he is feeling icky... LB got it too, so this was our first time having both boys sick at once. BB's throat is his main issue, while LB's biggest symptoms are wanting to be held non-stop and boogers! It hasn't been that bad though, just way too much DVD's (I challenge anyone else to come up with a better way to get a sick 3 yr old to rest!).

Ta Da! My finished raspberry fiber has turned into this...

Lots of practice sitting up. Made lots of progress! Even getting himself to sitting position without much help (mostly results in tipping and bumping large baby head, but no fear Chunky Monkey plunges on)!


We also had a very fun Orange Day on Wednesday. We wore orange, carved orange pumpkins, and were going to eat things like orange carrots and orange cheese ('cept BB is never very hungry when he's coming down with something).

Next month will be Yellow Day, so if any of you out there find some neat little, mail-able yellow stuff to share, send it our way!

Fun Things

So, this thing is refusing to display my picture properly, and I give up. Anyways, that raspberry fiber I dyed a few weeks ago, well, I spun it all on my little spindle and then made it into a 2-ply and set the twist. I ended up with 170+ yards of this! I love the sixe it turned out, and am knitting a little bag out of it...
This is Penelope Clearwater, our new pet (yes, that's a Potter name). BB is most pleased with our new aquisition - a friend of mine gave her to us. BB helps feed her every morning and evening!
Isn't he cute?!?
He's my little chunky monkey, just checking out the pumpkins we brought back from the festival...
Wrestling already?
I am in for quite the ride, aren't I?
