Oh, hey there.

Turkeys by the feeder.  Kind of ugly.

I have been awfully quiet on the blogosphere lately.  Like all of us, life gets busy and one has to prioritize.  Of course, this little lady takes the cake.

If anyone out there is thinking about having a baby . . . or another one.  Borrow a puppy for a few days.  You'll get over it.

All is forgiven.  Stella was innocent; she didn't leave the bathroom door open. Of course she'd shred an entire roll of toilet paper.  Wouldn't you?

Momma loves you.

And there has been a wee bit of knitting.  I finished my niece's leg warmers.  They might be too tight and too long, but they're done and so am I.

Knit Picks Felici is soft, but I'm worried a bit about slouchy stretch happenin'.  Love the colors, though.



The other Knit Picks Felici is still being processed into the longest pair of stockings on the planet.  If I don't get them done soon, they will no longer fit my daughter.  And yes, I have been knitting two socks on one pair of addi turbo needles (really, is there any other way?) that have been, by the way, slightly chewed on by Stella Blue and tend to snag the yarn here and there.

I have also been baking.  See?

I read The Help and in it, the author mentions southern caramel cake several times.  I have not rested until I found a version I like.  Here is the link.  The cake is a bit eggy, so I might find a different yellow cake recipe, but the frosting is TO DIE FOR.


Finally, my middle kid, who started skating about a year and a half ago, scored his first goal.  I was poised with the camera throughout the game and managed to ruin the shot because I was screaming and yelling like an idiot.  That blurry white guy is my kid.  (and yes Guinifer, that's EP he scored against mwoo ha ha haaaaaa.  But did Tonka beat EP?  Oh, well.  That's not really important and I can't remember anyway ;-)
