Episode 11 - Attack of the Bouncy House Slide

Hello and welcome! Today's episode tells of the adventures of the CATT Lady princess and her journey into the ocean as well as her near death experience with the Bouncy Slide of Doom!!

Okay, well maybe not. What I do talk about is David's birthday, our trip to the aquarium, Emily's preschool "Graduation", and yes we were attacked by a bouncy house slide...

Also I forgot to show off how much my little girl has grown this year! I took the first picture on her first day of school in September. The second one was taken last week! I'm pretty sure I'm at different angles, so although she has grown about 3-4 inches, it isn't as hugely drastic as I think it looks. But still, look at that!!

Oh and I also talk about crafty things too. Knitting and sewing WIPS, one lonesome FO and a really cool stash enhancement!

Here's another look at the latest "Beans the Cat":

Lots of show notes today, so be sure to check them out below!

Episode 8 - Oh Pikachu

Happy Monday! It has been a not so hot week here coming down with a nasty cold. Runny nose, scratchy throat. Hooray...

Before the yuckiness hit however, I got to spend a fun family day with my hubby and kiddos at the Detroit Zoo! We all went together with the kids Preschool. It was a chilly day (I wore a sweater). I mean really?? A sweater in May?? It was ridiculous. But we all had fun. Emily was most excited about the Zebras and David really liked the Penguins. My favorite was the Butterfly House. The Giraffe's were totally about to "get it on" but Lady Giraffe was not really in the mood. It was quite a sight to see!

We followed it up with an ice cream cone from McDonald's on the way home.

Watching the butterflies

Butterflies are my favorite!

So pretty!

They look like they are smiling

Gotta get a picture by the bear fountain

Rawr!

Emily was excited about the Zebras

Um...it was totally mating season...

And she wasn't really in the mood. Haha!

This weekend was another birthday party! This time at Chuck E. Cheese. It was actually my first time there and it wasn't too bad. Last time the kids went, hubby took them by himself for another birthday party. He said it was mass chaos. Luckily it wasn't overrun this time. Kids played a lot of little games and cashed in their tickets for a bag of junk, haha. Got to leave with a balloon - a successful day!

Lots of crafts, not enough time! Finished Objects, and lots of Works In Progress. Plarn, Yarn Dying, Mitered Squares and more! The most exciting of the FO's is my shawl! Behold the Sunlight Shawl for Sad People by Sylvia Bo Bilvia on Ravelry!
