Today I got up and got the kids breakfast and cleaned a little bit, and then did a load of laundry while the kids played. Then I got them ready to play outside for a little bit. They loved playing in the HARD snow. haha Peyton was playing with the swing and she gave it a underdog…but yelled to me “Mommy, I gave the swing a underpants!” really loud…I laughed so hard!
When we came in, I made them hot chocolate…which they loved! Isaac gulped his up, and Peyton kept saying “will you help me mommy? I cant get past the chocolate stuff!” Shes crazy!
I decided it was time for my coffee and the kids lunch. But then my mom called and asked if we wanted to meet her at Sams Club, of course I did! So I made my coffee to go, and put lunch on hold, since we would have a few snacks at Sams Club. wink wink ;)
We got there and browsed the store, my mom got a few things, and we had 3 samples…which kinda let us down…they used to have tons of good samples…I know, I used to work there! What the heck happened to Sams Club? They even hesitated to let me in because I didn’t have a card. Even after I told them I was with my mom and she had a card! Geesh!
O well, we had tons of fun looking around at all the deals.
Then we went to JoAnn’s and looked around, we didnt get anything there but it is so fun looking at all the yarn and needles for knitting :)
We came home, and I put the kids down for a nap. Peyton in her peapod, and Isaac in my bed…because he ripped a hole in his peapod…about a foot long. I sewed it while they slept. Then I decided I wanted to finally knit…its been a few hours lol
I decided I wanted to make a pattern with letters. Then I decided I wanted to make a dishcloth for my mom with letters saying “Mom I love you!” Haha I didnt know how hard it would be to try to figure this pattern out. So I got online and printed off a square graph paper. Then I started writing what I wanted it to say, but I decided to change it to “I love you mom!” OMG this whole project was easier said than done! It was too big, then too small, then it didnt reach the one side but was touching the other side. Then finally it was perfect. It was dinner time about then, and Rody came home with pizza, good thing, cuz I was in no mood to cook any dinner lol. Then Melissa dropped Evan off, he is staying with us for a little while because Mel has surgery on her knee tomorrow. And I thought I would help her out with Evan, he is so fun to have!
Then I decided to try to knit it, ha ya right…it was so hard (to me) trying to figure out what way to knit, if it was opposite on the way back, if the thing turned over, my mind was all over the place. I knitted the stupid dischloth about 9 times before I finally figured out what to do. Then I got halfway done with it and realized I lost a stitch. OMG I was so annoyed, it ruined my whole perfect design. I was steaming, so I ripped it all out and decided to just go with MOM!
By this time, I decided to get the kids in bed finally. They loved all brushing their teeth together and picking out a toy to sleep with…all 3 of them ended up picking a matchbox car.
Isaac and Peyton were being loud and I kept having to shush them, like we do every night. I thought Evan was sleeping, but he was awake laying there super quiet. Haha He was probably like, geez these kids are crazy!
They finally all fell asleep, I started working on my dishcloth again. So were going with Mom! Easy! Nope! I knitted my pattern and realized it would look way better if I reversed my pattern, knits where I’m pearling and pearl where I’m knitting. So I started over. By this time it was 12:00am. And I thought to myself, I’m getting this done tonight! And I did! yay! It looks so good! (my opinion!)
This is some of my planning lol
Here is the finished project!
Its kinda hard to see, but I think you can tell what it looks like! What a job! Now I am going to knit one for me, and maybe one for Kimmy! I think its easy now that I know what I’m doing…haha lets see if I say that when I’m doing mine. Im glad its done!
Mom- stop by anytime to get your dishcloth…I appreciate everything you did for me today, and this is a little token of my appreciation…haha
Love ya mom!
Now I am going to bed!
