Work had the company picnic for just the employees yesterday. Apparently when you work for a company that appears to care about their employees, they do lots of little things to make working there GREAT! So the picnic featured the Minute to Win it games; talk about hysterical! My boss ruled the moving cotton balls from one bowl to another using just Vaseline on his nose. As always, I work in a mostly male environment so there were some pick up basketball games. If I was in better shape and played basketball more recently than Jr. High, I would have joined them I fear. Think DH and I can find a park sometime to play a little one-on-one. Granted it would be funny to see me at 5 foot 5 inches taking on his 6 foot 3 inches. Hey! I can be scrappy and I know I can distract him with a kiss!
Even though I got off work a little early Friday, the boys wore me out! Today hasn't been much better. DS1 and I went to the library. We did better than I thought we would, until the parking lot. DS1 didn't want to hold my hand so I ended up dragging him by the wrist and manhandling him into the car seat. Pre-baby, I would have looked at anyone doing what I did with disfavor- I am so sorry! Now, I understand. Not only did he throw a fit at the library parking lot, DS1 refused to nap today. Both boys did not nap worth anything today. They went down at noon and at 5 I let them up. Yes, bed time was early!
Even with the various fits that I've been so lucky to deal with, I did manage a little crafting! I managed to sew all of 8 quilt squares together! The quilt is not going to be of high quality simply because I am making it up as I go. Eventually I will need to find out how to sew batting and backing to the top I'm making. Aunt is still doing her Longarm Quilting right? Or do you think I should tie it like the quilt Mom helped our great-grandmother make out of the band uniform scraps? Yes, I still have the "Ugly" quilt; I love that quilt. Do you realize that if Mom was 10 when she helped make it, it's now over 40 years old and still in good shape?

I hope some of the sweaters I'm knitting last that long. Finally I finished the bust line portion of the Abotanicity sweater. So far the lace portion is giving me fits but I'm also so used to k2 p1, rinse and repeat so now having to pay attention is kicking butt. Before too long, I'll be back in the swing of lace! Perhaps I should ask on Ravlery's Knitmore Girls' group if the lace portion will qualify for their Summer of Lace and Beads Knit-A-Long. Joking, I have way too much other knitting stuff going on. I'm still pushing for the Must Stash Podcast's sweater KAL and Tour de Fleece. Yes, I still consider myself a crocheter too. I have a blanket that is currently residing in the closet. Some day it will come out of time out and grace my couch. You, of course, will think it's ugly because it's a roll of the die to determine color and number of rows in that color. I like it so far, all 6 inches worth of it. Maybe I should bring it out of hiding; think DS1 is old enough to crochet?
