I'm back!!!


Last time I posted was 4 days before Kendall's 1st birthday!  She is now almost 17 months old and is a combination of her siblings.  She has a temper, is sweet, is stubborn...and SO cute!
  
The kids all celebrated their birthdays...Brendan is now 10, Cara is 12 and Caitlin is 6.  
Caitlin's sporting a very new haircut!  Last Wednesday I decided to take her in and just get it over with.  She woke up every morning with a tangled mess and I had to wash it every morning for school!  I was tired of it and Caitlin doesn't even like to have her hair in a ponytail....what's the point of keeping it long???  It's a fun and easy pixie cut....makes me wonder why I didn't do it before???!!!

This week is winter break here in Central NY.  The weather has been decent compared the last month of craziness.  I think our town has received almost 200" so far....insane.  Though I can say, I got many great workouts with all the shoveling!! 
The kids have been very good so far this week.  Cara and Brendan went to a Nerf party at church Monday night....they had a great time and slept well once they got home!  :)    Caitlin, Kendall and I drove to Weedsport to pick up my handspun yarn that I had left with a friend.  She had taken it with her to Tennessee in hopes of opening a small storefront....but, that just didn't come to pass, so she brought it all back up here on a visit.  I had almost forgotten what I sent with her!!  I've already sold 3 skeins and the rest are listed on Ebay!.

My household is finally falling back into order once again.  My sister and her 3-year-old son had to live with us for about 2 1/2 months...escaping a bad situation.  I was very happy to have been able to help them out, but it was a little stressful on our family life.  My children definitely acted out....very difficult to discipline the way I needed to during that time.  

We are very much looking forward to our family vacation to Orlando in April.  We haven't been on an out-of-state vacation since Brendan was about 18 months old!!!  I really hope we can budget in some sort of vacation every year...we need the away time together very badly.  
I've been checking out Disney tickets and I must say that I am sick to my stomach at how much it would cost us for one day at Disneyworld or one of the other 3 main parks.  About $300.  There are so many other things we could do with that $300.  But, we'll see.  We're on a limited budget...I'm just trying to stretch it as far as I can!

Time for me to end for today...I'm needing to just sit.  But if one knows me, I can't just sit and do nothing!  I filled a bobbin with a blend of white alpaca and blue sparkle today...time to ply it!  That should be the end of that order...then tomorrow I will keep going on the lhasa apso yarn order!  That one is very large, so I know it will take me a while to complete it.  Sure is a great feeling to finish an order and send it out.  

Good night and God bless...until tomorrow.
