2006 is upon us

My goodness it has been awhile since I have been in here! Life just sometimes gets in the way!

Christmas knitting all got finished on time (well except for dh's socks but he will get them sooner or later!). The daycare kids all seemed to love their wonderful wallaby sweaters and socks. We spend Christmas at my dad's, going there on Dec 24th and coming back on Dec 26th. It was nice, but quiet which was okay. My brother and his family got there late afternoon, even though the plans were for them to come early so we could play cards etc. The boys were both so exhausted they were grumpy! The turkey came out very well and everything else tasted very yummy! New Year's Eve we just were at home and watched a couple of movies. I lasted till midnight, but went to bed right after.(I thought that I was maybe coming down with the flu, but since it didn't really amount to anything I have come to the conclusion that I can't eat banana chips :o(. Having a bit of problems figuring out what I can and cannot eat again!) Gary and Crystal did stay up for awhile after that. New Year's Day we were here and for the life of me I can not remember what we had for supper.

My needles have been busy since the holidays. I finished off a couple of projects that had been put aside for holiday knitting. I also cast on a couple of others and finihed them up. Right now I have a lacy shawl from crochet cotton, a sock, and a surprise cast on. The lacy shawl just does not seem to grow very fast at all. But I am really liking the way it is turning out.

All the daycare kids are back this week and it has been wild so far. By the end of the week I hope they are back into my rules and my routine! They all had a pretty tough day yesterday morning, but the afternoon went some better.

We are not counting down the days until Ryan & Tammy come home! I can't wait to see them and have them here for the week. I had all these meals planned that I was wanting to make for them, but doesn't seem like they are going to happen. They will be here Satuday for supper, Sunday we are going to Virden, Monday I think they are getting together with friends, Tuesday they are going to Winnipeg to visit a friend of Tammy's, Wednesday we are getting family pictures taken and then taking everyone out for supper, Thursday is Tammy's birthday and Ryan is taking her out for a nice supper and Friday they head home! So far Ryan has said that I have to make Pineapple Fluff Salad and potato soup! LOL
