Then I started on a soft bunny blanket thingee for Carolyn. The yarn I'm using is 89% bamboo and 11% acrylic. I didn't even know they made yarn out of bamboo, but this stuff is so soft and nice to touch... it's really amazing.
Carmen was very happy to play outdoors today, which made me happy. I think it's great when she pretends to plant and water flowers, collects rocks, lines up stuff she finds in the yard, and runs around with the goats. She's also very into her pretend friends right now, and I love hearing her make conversation with them. Today was a perfect, sunny, cool day for her to enjoy playing outdoors again.
We meant to get the tree up today for the holidays, but it didn't happen. Maybe tomorrow we can work on it. If not... no big deal. The new windows will be festive enough for me.
I started thinking about Carmen's birthday party, which I just realized is only 10 days away. OOPS. So we're going to go with a fairy theme, and I'll start brainstorming cheap ways to entertain and feed kids and adults. I also have to decide if it would be better to have it on her actual birthday, or on the day after, to give people a little break from Christmas. I also don't know what we're going to give her as a gift. She doesn't request anything, really, probably because we don't have cable and she doesn't see commercials for stuff. I'm sure that will change as she gets older and starts wanting things that her friends have or talk about, though.
Anyways, here's the hat:
