Little Children...Run Amok!

My grandma was in town this weekend, so there was small gathering at my mom’s house. Most of the evening was complete CHAOS! I loved it.

The three young boys, Micah, Marek, and Nathan found a fun game to play. It involved removing every single dishcloth, dish towel, and hot pad from the drawer and throwing them down the laundry chute. Of course, they laughed and ran about like...like toddlers! There are few sounds sweeter, in my opinion, than that of babies and toddlers laughing.


There was also some tower building that happened.

Nathan wanted to wear some pretty purple socks my mom had knit.

I did very little knitting this weekend, which is sad because I had two days off and should have some FOs to show for all that time. It just didn't happen. But, I had a cold, was playing with little kids, watching basketball (pro and college)...the list of excuses goes on and on.

The weather was lovely this weekend, so Zoey took advantage of the sun and an open window to stretch out on the windowsill. Doesn't she look happy? Soon she'll be back to live with her family, Gretchen, Matt, and Nathan. They move in to their new house this weekend and once they are settled, Zoey will leave me. I'm a little sad about that.

Won't miss the hairballs, though.

You really have some cute nephews! Tee Hee, maybe I'm just a bit biased!

I have entered the blogosphere!

Well, after thinking about starting a blog for several years now, I've finally done it. Bear with me as I get the hang of it. This will mostly be a knitting blog...which I guess means I'll need to knit a lot. No problem there. Why the name, "Knitting in Transit"? Because "Knitting on the Bus" was taken. I'm sure this is only being read by family and friends, and you all know I don't own a car and get around to and fro on the bus. Where I do a lot of knitting. Expect that I may also regale you with my tales of riding the bus. Well, I can't very well have a knitting blog without a picture of something I knit, so here you go. My latest FO...Dad's Sweater. More about this later.

Report from the RNC

In the end, I couldn't resist the pull of thousands of suited Republicans in St. Paul and D and I headed downtown last night to check things out. Actually, that's a lie. What compelled me down there was my support of St. Paul business. The Pioneer Press reported yesterday on how dismal business was for some of the restaurants and shops around the convention. I figured, "Well, if the Republicans won't eat there, I WILL!" After work we headed to Cosetta's . As you can see...definite lack of Republicans. They were all outside on the street. I have to say, in my Ravelry t-shirt and Chacos, I felt a little out of place. This is as close as we could get to the Excel Energy Center. It looks like the city is on lockdown. While we were just standing around, Sean Hannity passed right by us. I've never watched a day of Fox News in my life, so I would not have known this if someone nearby had not pointed him out. Then I snapped pictures like a good blogger. We then ...

Anti-Valentine's Day

I'm not wild about Valentine's Day. Why designate one day of the year to show people you love them? Why not just do that everyday? D and I have never really done anything special for Valentine's Day. I can't even remember if we saw each other last year on Valentine's Day! This year, I want to do have an Anti-Valentine's Day. I want to spend the day with D, but do things that are the opposite of what you might do on Valentine's Day. So far, the only thing I have come up with is watching a horror movie. Since neither of us like horror movies, we probably won't do that, but I am looking for things in that spirit. Please help me. Leave any ideas you might have in comments. If you leave an idea and we do that, you'll get a special treat. Probably chocolate. Or Gummy Bears if you prefer that sort of thing.
