2 things from Toby this week that made me laugh:
1. He had his first field trip at school this week (we went to Aullwood, by the way), and I got to chaperon! (Thank you Grandma M for watching Lucy so I could spent that time with Toby!) He asked me several times when we were going to play on the hay bales, and I finally put it together - he thought we were going to a FIELD! LOL! Field Trip! Makes sense, no?
2. Tuesday night we went to vote as soon as Curtis got home, then opted to go eat out afterwards. I suggested Subway, and Toby asks: "Wat, do we live close to a SUBWAY???" His only association with subways until then had been the subway in Washington DC. Haha, try explaining that no, it's not a subway train, but a subway for sandwiches. We ended up at Arby's anyway (where we had to try to explain why there is a big hat on the sign).

DC Bound!
Some long over due pictures of our weekend trip to DC!
This is the mountains on the way home - the colors were lovely!
The Marine Memorial
The fam in front of the Potomic.
The zoo
We did a LOT in a limited amount of time and it really took us 3 days to recover! WE had a great trip though and can't wait to do it again. The kids had a blast as well :)

Fall Pictures
We took the kids out early one Saturday this month to get some Fall pictures taken, in hopes of getting some wall-worthy prints. I was very pleased with the pics of the kids and am just waiting for a good deal to get them printed now!
The family pic is ok...but I'm still making an appointment for a family portrait!

Pumpkins!
Thought I'd add some pics of pumpkin picking at Grandma and Grandpa Correll's house!
The kids love their pumpkins and can't wait to carve them...I keep telling them it's going to be awhile!
We're heading to the Renaissance Fair tomorrow if everyone can keep healthy for a couple days! It's been a rough week germ-wise, but I have my fingers crossed. I'm the only one who hasn't been sick so I've been eating apples and oranges like crazy! But I could use some extra sleep.

Mommy-Lucy socks
Finished some socks for Lucy and myself this week -
I'm working on lots of projects right now - started a scrap blankie from all my socks yarn leftovers....it's going to take forever, but I'll work on it bits at a time. It's also the season for working on gifts, and those I can't post, but I have been busy!

Alexia Jean Designs
I want to give a big shout out to my friend Lexi at Alexia Jean Designs - she and I had a dress swap for our two year olds - I made a Summerlin for her daughter, and she designed this chic pillowcase dress for my Lucy!
I'm happy that it's plenty big enough for Lucy to wear next year, since we're hitting fall and the end of cute sundresses here in Ohio!
Check out Lexi's site (linked above) - she has all sorts of gorgeous sewn items for babies and kids - the designs and quality are both fantastic :) I wish I had her eye for patterns - she can pair prints like nobody's business!
Thanks Lexi! You're awesome!

The Three Years Dress
I can't believe I'm getting 3 years out of this dress! I knit it when Lucy was 8 months old, and here she is, 3 months shy of 3 years old, and she's wearing it today! Woohoo!
Pretty exciting (to me, anyway). All too often, it feels like I spend as much time making the garment as they spend wearing it before it's outgrown.
Toby is begging for a sweater, and I'd love to oblige him, but I have Christmas knitting yet to do
as well as slippers for the family (our new house floors are COLD in the morning!). I hope I have time to add in a sweater for him, because, well, as long as he's asking, I want to do it for him! I know the day will come when he's no longer asking for these things, and the though alone makes me so sad.
I haven't been as busy on the wheel lately. For one, I want to use up some of my handmade yarn before spinning more - if I don't use it, I don't know what I need to adjust. And getting new things into the knitting queue is...interesting...as you can see from above! Next weekend is the wool festival at Young's Dairy (YUM!) and I will be looking for something new to try there. I love branching out! I bought some silk caps online last week and am looking forward to spinning them. The only problem is I have no idea how much yardage I will get out of them!
