Proof of work!



Lately I have been getting the knitting bug...a lot! I started knitting a nice blanket for one of C's cousins, but it's taking a long time, so I took a break and made this cotton hat for C! It only took about a day and a half, and while it's supposed to be a 4 to 6 hours project, I really am not an expert and I have to knitt in between chasing Noodle around the house! I used the patern from this book called " Last minute knitted gifts", and I love it! It should be great for cool fall nights.
I have to say though... the cord nearly killed me!

Buni is back!

After 4 months of being away, my mom has returned for her second tour of baby-sitting services:) I can't even tell you how much easier my life gets when she is here. Now I get to run around like crazy (still) but at least I am not dragging a 1 year old (tomorrow!) with me! Grocery shopping gets to be a lot quicker and so does every other chore around the house or elsewhere. On top of everything I actually don't have to cut and chop and pack lunches and b-fast for day care and that is a huge stress reliever. Not to mention that I was promised Romanian meatball soup for dinner tonight and I was also told that all the downstairs windows were cleaned today!

Overall... having my mom back is awesome. She loves playing with Noodle and Noodle loooooooves her "buni". She even kicked A and I out of the house on Saturday so we can go out for lunch and to buy presents for Noodle's birthday.
If you have not had the chance to meet her during her first stay, please come by. She might not speak a lot of English (though she is doing better and better each day), but she will give you a huge hug and feed you some yummy food!

Should have a group for this...

My daughter is totally addicted to Gerber puffs! I think I need to start a group for her (and probably for mothers with kids like C.) so she can "discuss" her obsession with this snack. I guess in all fairness, she is a good eater, she ates whatever we have at the table including some things that I would probably not eat (pieces of parsnip anyone?) I just thing it's hilarious that she knows where the puffs "live" in our kitchen, she could be all done with her actual food, but would never refuse those puffs! And she shoves them by the handful (hers) into her mouth!
So, yeah, if your kid is addicted to this snack and would like to discuss it, please let me know :)
