End of September Randomness

A funny Zinnia Juliet and I spotted (and picked) from the garden:

"Date night" with Charlie, where we went to see Mary Poppins: The Musical, a birthday gift from his grandpa. It was a wonderful performance, and so much fun to do something special with my sweet boy - we took the light rail train downtown and back home together, walked arm-in-arm amongst the people and tall buildings, and had each other's undivided attention for hours. Good stuff.

 

Juliet's drawing on the pink etch-a-sketch made me really happy - I'm glad I snapped a pic before it was erased:

Yesterday I wore my knitted socks that, for a short while, I loved to hate:

I love them now, 100%, and I thank you all for your kind words!

Did you know that tomorrow marks the beginning of Socktoberfest? Here's the lowdown:

A very simple concept with very few restrictions - Socktoberfest is a month-long (throughout the month of October) celebration of socks. It is a simple celebration of the accessories that we make as crafters to cover our feet. Think of it more as a festival than a knitalong - people who love something come together and celebrate it!

I'm gonna be participating in a Mystery Sock KAL, and I must say that I'm rather excited for tomorrow!

Have a good rest of the day.................

Love that flower! You should press it and keep it to remember this summer ...

It's so great to get one on one time with the kiddos - it's even better when you get to do something you both enjoy!

I still have sock envy but it's in a good way ;-)
