This morning, Rowan grabbed my facial moisturizer off of the bathroom sink, exclaimed "chapstick!" and proceeded to rub the bottle on her armpits. I guess she's got a few years to figure it out.
The pig is poised to jump, and the owls are wary.
Do I have control issues? I do NOT like to be told which color crayon to use! Genevieve is constantly handing me a new color, "here... here... here" and is not the slightest bit ruffled when I take it and put it down, while trying to complete whatever masterpiece was already underway with another color. She just picks it back up... "here, Mommy". Rowan, on the other hand, demands a change.. "no-no, Mommy, no more purple!", when I politely explain that I would like to finish with the purple crayon. Maybe I should just take the new crayon and switch gears, but no sooner do I do this, then a new one is handed to me, "here, Mommy, here...". Girls, don't you understand, this is Mommy's only creative outlet?
Well, almost. The nubbly knitting in the previous post has become this hat, the second run-through of a design that still is not working out... it looks cute, but it falls off at the slightest movement. It fit well until I added the scalloped edging, which stretched everything out, somehow. Aaaargh. I guess it just shows my inexperience. Time to rip it out and start over for the third time, I suppose. It should be a delicious cream puff of a hat, if I can ever get the fit right!

I love the artwork, Emily--you should make cards!
And the hat amazes me; I cannot even fathom knitting something like that. You are a hero.
That is funny about the crayons. Toddlers just kind of take over don't they? :)
As for the hat...wow! It's scrumptious.
seriously cool hat and crayon pics.
