It's a colorful life

Spring is here, but it is not without a chilly day. We still manage to get outside most days, though I am battling a pretty bad cold. The other day, while on the way to the grocery store, our wonderful neighbor had a surprise for our girls! N received some chalk, and M received an adorable outfit. They both also got pinwheels, a favorite of mine as a child. N enjoys watching the wind spin them round and round.

Since we were on our way out when we received these gifts, N didn't get to play with them right away. All she could talk about in the car was her chalk! When we got home, she carried the package around until I was able to go outside with her- and boy was it ever so chilly!



I currently have a few projects going. I'm knitting up M's sleep sack.. I'm more than halfway done. I changed the yarn color- it's completely different because I just couldn't stand looking at the old yarn anymore, and I finished the ball. I'm also knitting up a calorimetry for N. I'm getting tired of having to cut her bangs all the time, she's pretty squirmy and it takes forever. I'm hoping, instead, to grow them out. Right now I'm using medium weight yarn.. perhaps I'll adjust it in the future to use a lighter weight yarn for warmer months. Anyways, it's my first project following a pattern, using short rows, rib knitting.... the list goes on! Either way, it's alot of fun and I'm enjoying the task. I will hopefully be done today so I'll post pictures tomorrow :)

So heres to springtime- may it be colorful and fruitful for us all.
