I usually love Tuesday nights more than any other night of the week. On Tuesdays we usually go out for dinner. Fortunately we know a few places that offer "Kids eat free on Tuesdays". I really enjoy getting to sit at the table coloring with the boys and talking about our day. It is so much more relaxing than cooking and ordering the kids to stay out of the kitchen while I cook. Going out means more time to sit together and just have fun without the work of cooking and cleaning. And the kids getting free meals means we can enjoy it more. So after dinner Tiny wanted to go to the beach...
Greetings from Spring Lake, New Jersey
Me: "Don't touch the catamarans!"
Tiny: "Ha ha ha."
I'm pleased to say we didn't knock any of them over.
Since we were there and I had my camera, and a scarf I recently knitted it seemed like a good time to take some pictures of it.
I asked Freddy if he could show it off a bit. humm...
Okay maybe Brady could do better...humm
that's my boy!
The beach was wonderful as always.
I also made a slouchy hat out of the same gray yarn, but I still need to bind it off. Maybe next week I'll get a new model to show it off for me.
But I also made an infant Owl Hat for my future nephew.
He isn't expected to be born for a few months so this little hat will have to wait for it's model.
When I knitted the scarf I was reading "The Hunger Games" so I called it the Peeta Scarf. Yes I was knitting and reading at the same time! That is very exciting for me because my vision is so bad I usually can't read. The headaches were worth it.

I used Miss Bab's yarn for both projects. It is a hand dyed Merino.
