It's been another crazy, surprising week in the Sfikas house. Isi had shots last week and we were informed she should be weened off the bottle because she has her first molars. I have been dreading this for some while and thought I would give Isi her bottle before going to bed but this has only delayed the process, so I took it away entirely. I was all ready for a night of hell when to my surprise Isi went right to sleep without her bottle and has successfully done so all week! I know, any of you who have been through this process have the right to hate us.
Hera participated in a Pom and Cheer Showcase in downtown Phoenix yesterday. Her class (of only 5 who showed up) competed against 5 others in their category and hers placed 3rd. Hera was adorable and did a really great job.
This week I am participating in the Neilson ratings. I have a little diary that I mark down what we watch everyday for a week. I was given $30 for participating however I thought I only had to do this for 3 days, had I known it was for a whole week I would want better compensation. The scary thing is is that I myself easily can watch 4 hours of TV during the day not including what the kids watch, movies and workout videos. It all ads up to some pretty crazy amounts of hours.

I am working on several knitting projects at once. No wonder I feel like I get nowhere sometimes with my projects. I am working on a one of a kind creation (short sleeve hoodie) for Athena, I have started on a bag to be felted (first time felting, should be interesting), and have supplies to make a black shawl. Above are my swatches for Athena's project, it's too complicated to describe so I'll just keep you updated on how it's coming. Below is the hand bag. Somehow it is supposed to turn into something beautiful?


Wishing you an interesting and surprising week,
Love the Sfikas house
