A Day in Pictures

So I have seen people do this before & I always think it is so fun! Don’t you ever wonder what someone really does all day??? I know I do :0)

Anyways I picked what I thought would be a pretty typical Monday for us. I have always fought the urge to do this on a day where we go to the Zoo or something so it looks like we do fun stuff, but this is just a normal Monday, or what I thought would be. As you will see “normal” for a parent really is never normal, a day never really turns out how you thought, so this is actually a pretty good example!

12:30 AM — This would be the first time Dom woke up…Screamed until 1:30 sigh…

Now if I was awake enough I would have taken a picture at 2:30 am when he woke up again..But I was too tired! So missing picture 2:30 AM

6:00 AM — Here he woke up and had a bottle

7:00 AM — Kids are up and watching cartoons

8:00 AM — Kids are getting ready for the day, Oliver leaves for school at 8:30

9:00 AM — On our way to the Gym!

10:30 AM — At the bank, cash for our food budget & suckers :0)

11:15 AM — Checking out at Aldi, the food in the picture isn’t mine… :0) In between the bank & Aldi we had to make a pit stop at Verizon, my phone randomly stopped being able to make texts or call..It was fixed

Noon — Lunch time!

1:00 PM — Kids are napping & I sit down to eat some lunch and check out facebook & some blogs I follow

2:00 PM — Consisted of me taking a nap & laundry

3:00 PM — These are the clothes Gia soaked with pee..notice the previous picture, I had JUST done laundry…

4:00 PM — Oliver coloring he does this ALL the time

5:00 PM — Impromptu trip to the doctors office, Dominic had some sores on his hand that I just didn’t think seemed normal. (The apt. was at 4:30, we got seen at 5:20, sigh..)

6:00 PM — Still at the doctors, they had to culture the sores, he has a Staph infection possibly MRSA, still waiting to hear!

7:00 PM — Finally eating dinner, McDonalds it was tonight! Before I left the Docs office I sent them to get the prescription & then they got some dinner. (we normally eat at 5:30)

8:00 PM — Bedtime!!!!

9:00 PM — watching the Olympics and having some wine :0)

10:30 — Bed time!! (and Dom slept thru the night woke up at 6 for his bottle!!)

Hope you enjoyed!!!

Tunic

This is by far my “biggest” project I have done. It hasn’t taken the longest but it is the largest. It was almost like making a small afghan :0) I ordered this yarn a year ago & for Christmas last year (2012) Mom Funk gifted it to me. My plan was to make a coat out of it but that just seemed daunting & I thought I probably wouldn’t wear it too much. Then I thought maybe I would make a skirt, dress, tunic (normal one)…But I just couldn’t find anything that seemed youthful enough & pretty brainless…Then I stumbled upon a sample catalog for Bergere De France & found this tunic and fell in love! I ordered the catalog (From France! So you know its gotta be trendy, right?!? :0)) And when I opened it up and read the pattern I realized that the yarn would work perfectly! I didn’t have to change the pattern at all, which is a great blessing!

The pattern was easy peasy and great to do while watching tv as it is stockinette besides the borders which are moss/seed stitch. It did get a little boring as the front and the back are near identical and each side measures 27 inches! Anyways, here are the details & some photos!

Pattern: Tunic
Book: Bergere De France
Size: One size fits most – this would be VERY easy to adjust
Yarn: Berroco Vintage Chunky color:6185
Needle: 10.5
