Burridge Afghan

I am finally done with the Burridge Afghan. It only took me off and on 8 months to finish. It turned out really good. I haven't put the border on yet but I don't really know that I want to. I still have time to decide.


This is a really bad picture. I was trying to take different angles to get all of the cables and it didn't work

The only complaint I have is that Caron Simply Soft says no dye lot color. But some of the yarn is a lighter shade of Bone. Very frustrating. I didn't know this until I started working on the second panel. But the way the shading is it looks like I did it on purpose. Hopefully it will be appreciated.

I am in LOVE

First thing I love our my boys. I decided yesterday to try and get some Christmas card pictures out of them. The little guy was acting like his usual self and goofing off. But all in all I got some good pictures.

Second I finally finish C's pirate hat. It turned out way to big but I was able to shrink it and it fits like a glove. It is so think now that it shrunk that it should keep him really warm this winter.

The last thing that I am in love with is my new van. It's a Chrysler Town and Country Limited and has just about every option available.

We traded in the Honda Element (which I really didn't want to do) and the Pontiac Montana (that is a piece of crap). This baby has leather heated seats, navigation system, stow and go, both power sliding doors and the hatch is even powered. The only thing that it doesn't have yet is the dvd player. I go in Tuesday to get the 2 headrest dvd players. The boys can't wait. I can't wait. I am so in love with this thing.

Halloween

The boys had their Halloween parade at school Friday. There were some amazing costumes. Everyone looked great.
Here's B wearing Commander Rex costume. His nose was smooshed in the helmet.

Here's C as a skull ninja. With him only being 9 and 5'1" it's difficult to find a costume that he really likes.

Halloween night was so beautiful. It was warm and no one needed a jacket. We trick or treated for an hour and a half. The boys got tired so we headed home.

Also it was hubby's birthday and we had steaks on the grill before we headed out. I love when he cooks out. He's the greatest.
