Already?

My alarm clock went off at 5:30 this morning. I slowly got out of bed and started making my love and I some pancakes. We enjoyed our breakfast together, Tony got ready for work, I put on a pretty dress (just 'cause), and walked with him to his truck -- lunch box in tow. :) We said our farewells - kisses and hugs - then I went inside to start on my work for the day. The next time I looked at the clock I was surprised to see it was already 1:30pm. Crazy how fast the morning disappeared as I gave our yard a much needed trimming while listening to four different sermons. And the rest of the day was no slower.

I ate lunch, replied to a couple e-mails, and straightened up the house a bit. Then I invited four of the neighborhood kiddos to our backyard for a finger knitting lesson. There we all sat in a circle on a flowered sheet, each with our own ball of yarn, talking about the coming first day of school, and trying to finger knit ... I think it would have made for a cute picture. Sadly, the lesson lasted all of 15 minutes because it started to rain ... but I'm pretty confident another lesson will take place in the near future. ;)

You can learn how to finger knit too ... click here for Katherine's tutorial. Below picture was taken by her. :) 

I did a few more chores around the house and prepared a quick dinner of rice with roasted brocolli, sliced tomato, avocado, and pizza bread ~ all ready to eat when Tony got home from work. Yum!!

A full day it's been for the both of us. Now it's 8:30pm  ~ time for Tony to tackle school work and for me to help where I can. Oh, and maybe some chocolate chip cookies will make an appearance.
