Hello to all of you checking in on us now and then. This week we have had tons of projects on the go. Above is the sweater I finally finished for Athena, yipee!! It turned out almost exactly like I imagined except for the fact I thought it would fit a little tighter where there is ribbing.
Both my girls have now picked up knitting. Hera is pictured with her first completed project, 'wormy' has become his name. Athena is working on one her own but wants to make it longer so it can be a snake.
I am also posting a picture of Isi in the little T-shirt I designed for her from something that didn't fit her sisters anymore.
Isi trying to grab my camera! The girls had their first real babysitting job this week. I went over to a neighbors for an hour and a half while the girls had to feed the dog, play with Isi, put her to bed and tidy the living room. They did excellent and I wish I hadn't come home so soon.
Athena had her birthday party Saturday night. Just a warning to any of you thinking of doing a sleepover for this age in the future, 'eleven year olds don't sleep'. Not that other sleep overs haven't been difficult, but this one was the rowdiest bunch yet. Thank goodness we only had four girls over. The kids swam, ate pizza, made t-shirts, soaked feet (the nails didn't get done), and had a hair styling contest. Another warning, 'not all eleven year olds should never use hair appliances'. I have no idea where my brain was. Thankfully, only my kids ended up with burns.
Girls enjoying 'Dreamsicle Soup' served in cantalope halves.
Athena and her friend Laura paired up and styled each others hair.Happy Father's day again to Ted. The poor guy had to wake up to a house full of girls Sunday morning and it wasn't just a bad dream. Good thing we made him breakfast in bed along with a DVD set of the 'Soprano's' second season. I only had him until lunch time then he was off to Vegas till Thursday. Love you hon!
Hugs and kisses from all of us,
Charmaine
