...to school today. Joseph is feeling better and was super excited to get to school today. I think he missed the playground. :P Amelia is watching Curious George right now and Tyler finally went down for a nap.
In M&B news, I finished one pair of longies and they're headed for the lanolin bath in about 5 minutes. The next pair should be done later today and then I have 2 more surprise pairs to knit and I'll be through that part of my list. We won't discuss what's left on my list yet. Yikes. I think I'll be spending a lot of time at the post office in the coming weeks.
In other crafty news, I'm trying to plan out what I'm making for everyone for Christmas. Wow. I need to start the planning much earlier next year. I have to make a birthday gift for Joseph this week, one for Tyler immediately after that, and then Christmas gifts for each of the kids. Ideally, I'd love to make them each a pair of socks and a pair or two for myself, but since I have yet to actually knit a sock of any size, I don't see it happening. Maybe they'll get socks for Valentine's Day.
And to Little Miss Lindsay, happy birthday, sweetie! You'll love being six!

A mother's conundrum
Why won't a sick child lay down on the couch and just watch movies, but when said child is prefectly healthy, he is perfectly happy to be a couch potato?
Joseph is sick today. He told me he didn't feel well last night, so I fed him dinner and he went to bed. This morning his tummy still hurt, so I told him he could stay home. 10 minutes before we normally leave for school, he decides he's fine and then goes off to get dressed for school. Nope, getting dressed was too much work for him, so he just laid on the floor instead and decided that staying home would be better. That turned out to be the right choice because the school would have called me to come get him as soon as I pulled back into the driveway from dropping him off.
In totally unrelated news, blueberry oatmeal is not fun to clean out the carpet. Just sayin'.
In Munkit & Blue news, I have a pile of stuff to finish, wash, and mail this weekend. I may even be ambitious and post some pics of it on here since my commitment to blog more this year than last is dangerously close to becoming a thing of the past.

Sondheim Saturday
No, this has nothing to do with Sondheim, but it's what I could come up with at the moment.
It's officially Spring, which explains the snow that has been falling for the majority of the day and the indoor Easter egg hunt that we took the kids to today. There are pictures. They are not on the computer yet; I'm waiting until I have the plethora of pictures from our Easter morning excitement until I bother.
I bought some blank DVDs today, too, so hopefully I can actually save all the pictures to discs and send them to family members instead of having 800 million pictures saved on my memory card. I'm giving myself until the end of May to accomplish this.
On the house front, things are looking good. We have a house that has been inspected and we're waiting to hear from our realtor if the sellers are willing to fix a couple things. If everything works out, we'll close mid-April and slowly transfer our apartment into the house. Slowly=over the course of a week and then getting help with the furniture on a Saturday. The kids are excited to move into a house with a backyard. Joseph says his favorite thing about the new house is that it comes with two squirrels.
Business is going okay. I made my first knitted item sale to a stranger. I've sold plenty of knitted stuff to friends online, and also crocheted items and stitch markers to strangers, but no knitted to a stranger. Until yesterday. I still have tons of other little knitting and dyeing projects to catch up on and another stocking to prepare for on April 16th, so this will be a busy month and a half. Don't expect much blogwise. Of course, if you've been following my blog at all since it's inception, you probably don't expect much from me blogwise anyway. :P

March Madness
It's March already. I swear it was just November. We're doing well, kids are doing well, etc. I've decided that I need to blog more often. Really it shouldn't be that difficult since I only blogged 8 times in the last year.
Here's a few semi-recent pics of the kiddos...
Tyler showing us how to clap
Amelia showing off her new capris that we are borrowing from Sarah. Joseph, on his 5th birthday.

Menu planning
During the week, I love having the menu all planned out. Planning the menu, not so much. I've been sitting for an hour trying to come up with a good menu plan and I'm stuck. I should be cooking dinner or getting things ready for the stocking tomorrow, but I can't walk away till the menu is done.
And the kids just finished off a gallon of mint chocolate chip ice cream straight out of the container. They are so my children.
Tyler found a bag of mini marshmallows this morning. Apparently, the other kids had hidden it next to the couch. Tyler figure out how to open it and shove a handful of marshmallows in his mouth before I could get the bag away from him. He's his father's kid.
Back to the menu, then dinner, then little ghosties.

See?
I told you I'm no good at this blogging stuff. It chops off my pics. Lovely. There's a reason that I avoid technology. Sigh.
Pics. Really.
I haven't totally figured out all this resizing stuff and photobucket combined with blogspot was giving me a headache. This is today's third and final attempt. Enjoy. And Meghann, feel free to tell me how to do this properly, so I can stop posting life-size pics of the kids.
One of Tyler's first attempts at baby food.
On Amelia's birthday
One of my favorites
Attempt #802 at a group shot
8 months and counting
