Too Cool for School Round Up

The kiddos are back in school and suddenly we realize we weren’t as prepared as we thought we were! They “need” a pencil case that’s cooler. They want to give the new teacher a gift. The other kids have all these fun things that they don’t have!!

OK, sometimes they have to deal with a little disappointment in life, but sometimes we can up the cool factor with a few fun creations. So, here are some patterns that will allow the kiddos to bring the cool to school!

Student Loan Freedom!!

That’s right! I am finally student loan free! You see, it was my goal to be able to pay off one of our student loans with our tax return. Doug’s loan has a smaller balance owed and a lower monthly minimum payment, so the goal was to pay off mine, thus lessening our monthly bills more than if we paid off Doug’s. However, when we saw what our tax return was going to be it looked like we would have … Read more

Half(ish) way done with Katherine!

I know I have been a bit quite this week. It has been quite busy about here. On Wednesday and Thursday I worked at the school book fair, and on Wednesday evening Doug and I went to Back to School Night at the girls’ school. I was able to get a little bit of crochet done at the book fair; mostly during the lunch period. I have been spending the vast majority of my time getting ready for the knit … Read more

I swear, those … Read more

Ready for Summer Break!

Well, yesterday I promised you lots of pictures, so here they are! A couple weeks ago I helped out with the book fair at school. I finally remembered to bring my camera and take a snap of this quote on the gym wall that I just love. Good advice for kids (and adults as well.) For 2 days the gym was full of books and kids, it was fun.  I had this little beginning of a granny~something~or~other laying about, and … Read more

Chaos

Yup, chaos. Kind of explains a lot going on right now. I seem to have a decent routine on school mornings up unit I get home from taking the girls to school. Then it’s just a bit, well, chaotic. I’m working on getting into a routine during the school days. It seems like there is just more to do then time in the day. Market some days, laundry others, cleaning (always cleaning), organizing all the stuff in the basement, garage, spare room (which will one day be Kyla’s room), working on my designs/patterns, and, of course, spending time with you, my blogland friends. I know I can.

I took a few snaps of the first day of school, but I took them on my phone, and keep having issues posting them. The phone finally decided to play nice, so here they are.
