Peace!

It is so blissfully quiet in my house right now I can hardly believe it: Olivia is napping and Liam is visiting a friend. I should be cleaning, but I've decided that this opportunity is too rare to waste on something silly like that. Instead I'm having me a hot cup of tea, a couple of chocolate chip cookies, and a little computer time. Then I'll get down to some reading and knitting. If this television-free week has taught me anything, it's that I can, in fact, knit and read at the same time (thank you Stefani).

Also, that some little cars and some cardboard can keep a little girl busy for a very long time.

I should be cleaning because my in-laws are arriving today for a little visit. They are kind enough (and clever enough) to stay in a hotel this time, as this house is full of boxes and the other house is empty of beds and fridges, but of course they will still hang around here some of the time. I think the charade was over anyway; their last few visits have given them a sadly accurate impression of our housekeeping skills. But then I have never claimed or aspired to be a domestic goddess (and neither has Mark, for that matter). I did clear a path through the boxes from the living room to the bathroom though. And vacuumed the stairs.

And get this: I actually finished the hat! As I write it is on its way to Josh's head in Washington state. USPS, don't let me down! As he hasn't seen it I won't post a picture here yet, but of course I have some out on Ravelry (for the record, it isn't exactly easy to take a picture of the top of one's own head). 

Okay, I'm off to do something quiet for as long as it lasts. I hope you get some peace today too.

LUCKY! There was no peace around here today! Connor has a sprained foot and he is using it to his advantage! I am off to get the screaming child yet another snack. Ugh. :) Maybe tomorrow there will be peace...

Woo hoo! An FO makes the day seem brighter, doesn't it? I'm off to Rav to check it out.

Of course you can! You go, girl. Peace at almost any price, that's my motto. Nice toys. Don't unpack all the way, and you'll have lots of them for a long time.
