Saving the past!

If you have any interest in crochet or crochet lace or crochet edgings, please stop by Francesca's blog. She is offering a free lace pattern that she recreated from some linens she had purchased. Francesca's blog is one of about two dozen I habitually visit whenever I get a chance online and I have never been disappointed.
I have been around, just not had a whole lot of time to post or read. We found out the hard way that Harmony is even more allergic to mosquito bites than I am, so I spent 3 days trying to keep benadryl in her to keep the hives at bay. Good news is like Melodie the benadryl does the job on the bites, but that is all it does. It doesn't make either one sleepy or hyper. I was just grateful that my monkey happily would eat a chewable pill when it was time (until she decided she was better and didn't need them...and she was right that she was past the hives stage). Since Wednesday it has been me and the kids for the most part. Michael has been working in the evenings and my grandparents are on their yearly spring week trip. It has been rough going because I can't take the girls outside to play. We have mosquitoes 24/7.
Hope everyone else is doing well!

Colorful Giveaway!

Okay, I listen to this podcast online, weekly. I admit it. I usually get a good laugh out of it and hear about yarn. Well Never Not Knitting is having a giveaway for a book and a bunch of pretty colored yarn. So head on over and leave a comment after this post for a chance to win.

found?

I am stealing a few minutes while Erik is napping and the girls are watching Disney's Aladdin. Found the camera...now the usb cable has gone MIA, yet again. The camera somehow found it's way behind the printer, makes me think my little, curly blond haired girl was up to no good, at some point. And hers is the last picture taken too (looks like a Melodie taken picture). It has been close to a month the camera has been missing according to the dates on the pictures. Hoping everyone is having a beautiful weekend.

A Quote

"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales. When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking." ~Albert Einstein~


P.S. Still haven't located the camera, but haven't been looking really with out of state relatives visiting (aunt & uncle will take more than enough pictures). Been busy visiting and playing. Hope everyone is doing well and are healthy.

MIA Camera

Very mundane little post, but I'm hoping it will help me find my camera. I took pictures of Erik last week, went to download them over the weekend to send off to family and the camera is no where to be found. I even checked the 'safe' places to no avail. So this is sending a little message to those mysterious ones who help find lost items, to help me find my camera :) We have family coming down from PA next week and I'd like to get pictures of the little ones with my great Aunt Emilie, since there is a chance I won't get to see her again.

Happy Easter!
