The bunny came off the needles last night. Stitching her up took forever, especially because emma was on the other side of the room, hiding her eyes and squealing in anticipation of the bunny’s completion. She loves surprises.
Honestly, I’m a little disappointed with the finished design of the pattern, but oh well. Emma is in LOVE with her, and that’s all the matters. She has named the bunny "caffy" which makes me laugh because it sounds like "Cathy", with a lisp. Caffy slept with her last night. I made Caffy a bowl of cereal this morning. And Caffy travelled to the farmer’s market with us this morning. At one point I was holding a swaddled Caffy while emma checked out the fountain in the market park.

art with children
Thought I’d post a few pictures today. The first one is Emma’s glue project this morning with glitter and scraps of fabric. Last night when I was putting her to bed, she had the idea for this project and in her typical obsessive way, she wanted me to go downstairs right away and get everything set up for first thing in the morning.
I managed to get breakfast into her before we jumped in to art projects. Before children, I never could have imagined that I had the ability to wash dishes, fold a load of laundry and be up to my elbows in glitter all before 7:30 am.
This other picture is of a bunny I’m knitting for one of the girls. All I have to do is stitch up the seams, (although my only darning needle rolled behind the bookcase this afternoon, so….waiting for Dan to get home and move it) . I got the pattern for this bunny from here. It was pretty easy to follow. I checked some other books out of the library earlier this week. "Beginner Baby Knits" and "Last-Minute Knitted Gifts" and they have some other cute patterns that I will try next. I’ve become obsessed lately with knitting animals.
I thought about posting a picture of my spotless house, after my Mother-in-law whisked through yesterday. But I can’t, because its not clean anymore. Thank you, tornado children! Well, at least it’s clean underneath the mess.

The girls are napping. My hair is blown dry. My mother-in-law is downstairs mopping my kitchen floor. I’m eating air-popped popcorn (WWatchers staple), drinking diet coke and reading blogs. My chin is up. Way up.
