This Place

Jen5 Comments

This fall, Isaac took a class here called “Life on the farm”. It is a beautiful and special place.

Where they can run and jump and shout…

And try to catch the frogs in the pond…

Or swing on the tire swing.

There is always an opportunity to be chased by the farm’s alpha rooster, Eagle.

(Seriously, that rooster is stalking me. Not long after I took that last picture, he decided I had no business taking his picture like some obnoxious paparazzi, and, just as the rock star (of the barn yard) he his, he chased me down and I had to flee for my life.)

Still, this place makes me long for a simpler time.

And my favorite part?

Yup. They make yarn there, too.

Look Out!

EZ-E turned two today. Don’t let that beguiling smile beguile you. That one is trouble with a capital T.

Pumpkin Picking

Jen2 Comments

Last weekend we went to pick out pumpkins for Halloween. We actually weren’t going to do pumpkins this year–our condo is small, so there really isn’t the space for carving, and the kids here do not seem to go trick-or-treating. I think we are planning on getting our tricks-and-treats in my friend Sage’s neighborhood. Anyway, my friend Dawn offered to keep the pumpkins at her house and to host the carving as well. So off we went, in the blazing October sun (90° that day!), to pick out pumpkins.

A grand time was had by all.

And now for some kitty cat humiliation.

Which costume should Doozer “wear” for Halloween?

Cheese!

First, a WIP:

Another Booga Bag, this time for me, with button hole handles instead of an i-cord strap. It’s been ages since I’ve knit up most of an entire ball of yarn in one evening. It was nice, mindless, barely have to watch it, going round and round, stockinette stitch while watching the movie “Fun With Dick and Jane“. Anybody else seen this movie? Am I the only one bothered by it?

SPOILER: I mean, here you have this affluent couple, newly unemployed and having to resort to robbing banks for money. It sounds like an amusing premise and Jim Carey was not overly annoying (neither was Tea Leoni), but it really disturbed me that is couple did not do a single thing to curb their rampant consumerism in the face of their job losses, or even when they were robbing banks to pay the bills. They just went right back to their “American dream” lifestyle without having learned a single lesson. I found that very upsetting.

Moving on. Look what I discovered in my local Trader Joe’s yesterday:

Squeaky cheese curds! This was my first time and, OMG, these are so freaking awesome. It was so hard not to eat the whole 10 oz. package. *YUM* I think I’m going to have cheese curds for breakfast.

Finally, I also took the boys to the park yesterday. Here is I pushing E on the swing.

Cute, huh?
