Mothers Day

On Friday, I went to Chelsea's preschool to see a mothers day musical at her preschool. Look at that smile! She was so happy and proud to be performing for me. She was born to be on stage- I know she will win an Oscar one day.



They sang three songs: First they sang Pretty Mommy to the tune of "Pretty Woman" . As we were all wiping the tears from our eyes, they started the next song 'My Mom' sung to the tune of My Girl. The third song - they were sort of mumbling, and we couldn't really tell what it was. They sure looked cute though! There was a lot of love in the room.


We had a great mother's day. The store was only open from 11-2 on Sunday so we could spend time with our families. My cousin Eileen has a party every year. So we went down to Voorhees, NJ. The food was delicious as always and they have a great backyard and the kids had fun playing and running around.



I'm making progress on the Sahara sweater.


You knit this sweater from the shoulder down. What you are looking at is the neck hole. You start at the back of the neck with a provisional cast on (the pattern tells you to crochet the stitches on) and then knit until you get to the back armhole. Then you take out the provisional cast on, and knit the left and right shoulder. I had some trouble with the provisional cast on. Either I knit into the wrong spot on the crocheted stitch on the first row, or something was twisted, but it was not easy to take it out. I had to unravel every stitch, and cut it a few times. It took a few hours to take out sixty-something stitches and put them back on the needle. Kind of annoying. But I'm moving on.
