Ok, Ok...

I know! It's been a long while since I have updated the blog, so I thus offer my apologies. It's just been a little crazy around here. What's been going on?

1. Sort-of house hunting about once a week for half a day.
2. Delivering paperwork to Ayla's school that she will be starting in August (Free Horizon Montessori) - She got accepted! YEA!
3. Doing home "instruction" to Ayla and Sophie to keep their insatiable minds happy (see #4 for more explanation on why). We've been learning about snakes and shapes, numbers and letters, trees and countries!
4. Dealing with Ayla's show of independence, disobedience, or simply determination to make me crazy. Some examples of this would be cutting up my yarn with scissors or drawing on the kitchen cabinets with green sharpie marker, all of which are highly uncharacteristic of her.... :(
5. Knitting my fingers to the bone with my new budding sock knitting business. Suddenly, I am all the demand and currently have a wait list that books me until the end of March!
6. Spending time as a family - bike riding, visits to the zoo and Children's Museum, etc, etc

All of this goes on in addition to the typical daily chores, errands, activities... So, you can see how I get a little forgetful. :)

But, here are some pics to ease the pain. Haha!
