Lobby Dishcloth revealed!

Well, when I posted last about the Lobby Dishcloth I was trying from Mason-Dixon Knitting I promised a picture. Here it is!

First (real) day of school

While my kindergartner had nearly a full week of school last week, my two older school children spent the last week doing mandatory school testing and getting their supplies in order. Today is the first "real" day of school in which they have to do any work. Yes, we had some tears and yes, we pulled out all the stops of inspirational speeches, exhortations and directives to think of those less fortunate than ourselves. Such is the life of a PA Cyber Charter School parent.

Next on the agenda is watching the live televised address from the President to school children, the transcript of which can be found here.

What have I been up to?

Well, in addition to cleaning out our basement, having three days of celebration for one eleven-year-old's birthday and looking after new baby bunnies (yes, the cuteness is beyond words) I have been making some stuff. I will post some photos soon, but I have been working on a little afghan to use up some of my stash, and I've also made a couple of Lobby Dishcloths from my friends at Mason-Dixon Knitting.

At the moment, though, I am staying up too late watching youTube videos like this one, in preparation for the season opener of House, MD coming up on the 21st.
