I feel like I've been neglecting this space a bit lately. Besides being busy, I blame it partly on Facebook. I find that I spend so much time playing there that I have little left for here. In my defense, life has been a bit on the pleasantly dull side lately. We had a long weekend with Presidents' Day today. We did our annual Valentine's Day Treasure Hunt. The boys loved it, as usual.
Look at the beautiful roses from the twins!
Look at the beautiful roses from the twins!Gavin played at a friend's house and we did a bit of shopping, too. Damn Kohl's and the 30% off coupon they sent me in the mail!
A friend and neighbor let Shawn borrow a Sushi cookbook and yesterday he spent the afternoon experimenting with different rolls. Having a sushi chef living under my roof can only mean bad things for my waist line!
This is a smoked salmon, cream cheese and cucumber roll. It was delicious!
Olivia's settling in quite nicely, and making herself at home...I've been knitting quite a bit lately. Gavin requested a new scarf ~ specifically a gray and red striped scarf. He was so cute about it, asking every day if I had completed his scarf yet. I did it as quickly as I could and was so excited at how it turned out.
Unfortunately, the gray alpaca wool yarn is too itchy for him so he hasn't worn it a lot. But now I know I can do stripes!I also signed up for a sock class. Since my friend Jacki taught me how to knit, I've been wanting to learn how to knit socks. I drool over the homemade socks I see on other peoples' blogs and can't wait to complete my first pair.
Here they are so far.
I couldn't take pictures without getting my two handsome boys...
Tyler's doing some homework.I've been doing some purging, too, which must be done to counteract the shopping I mentioned before. Most of my clothes are bound for the thrift store, which is likely where they were purchased to begin with. But the maternity clothes that were hardly worn, I'm selling on eBay. This is what's left after about a third of it was purchased yesterday:
I may have a slight shopping problem. But again, 70% of my clothes come from thrift or consignment stores. So it isn't as bad as it looks.Today I'm home with the boys and we're trying to think of something fun to do. Hope you have a great week!

Khols' sales always calling us out of our homes-Savers and the ARC having 50% off sales today, too-not that you needed more encouraging to go out and spend spend spend! Enjoy the new outfits-always fun to wear something new!
