at the end of a very busy week, we decided to forgo a hike in the woods with mama and kids friends and stay at home to enjoy the beautiful day. we started this morning with a trip to Lowe's for some garden supplies. adella had a great time jumping in the puddles and running through the aisles of plants and flowers. we bought some potting soil and a few herbs and a bunch of annual flowers. you know i take pictures of everything around here, and i was looking through some pics of the garden from last year. it just so happens, these were taken a year ago tomorrow (the 29th)... and here's a few from today: of course the flowers i bought today are still wee little things, but soon they will grow up big and strong! when they do, you can be sure i'll post pictures. in knitting news, i finished adella's #2 bucket hat a few days ago. it still needs to be blocked and shaped, but adella likes it just fine without it. last night i started a slip-stitch knitted basket - here it is so far: let's see...what else? adella's become my backseat driver. i've been teaching her about traffic lights, and now she points out every single one and says, "green! GO!!" or, "red! STOP!!" she's really helpful. we all just got back from a very stress-free (suprised?) trip to super wal-mart for some much-needed grocery shopping. adella talked us into buying her a $4 bottle of bubble bath in the shape of a yellow care bear. i don't even think she knows it has bubble bath inside it - she just saw "yellow bear" and had to have it. so now, off to bed. little bug is in the bath now (don't worry, stig is with her) and soon she'll be off to bed. stig and i are planning to watch some movie - 'island' beofre i fall asleep on the couch. and *sigh* off to work early tomorrow... have a great weekend everyone.
