The weekend .. finally!
Elefante .. in progress. I am in LOVE with these colors and the stripes. I may not be able to give him away! So, the body is done, the head is almost complete.. I still have to do the legs (they are the most monotonous little things!) and then the dreaded sewing of him all together. Hopefully by Monday I’ll have something to show you!
So, this week brought lots of things.. it was very busy. I only made it the gym once!! My boy had an eye appointment..and those words a mom does not want to hear. HE NEEDS GLASSES! I knew it was coming, both Mr. K and me are blind as bats and we have passed that on to our kids. It’s not a full time wear kind of thing, only for distance, but still .. but for some reason.. it’s no biggie. I guess lots of kids wear glasses these days..and he was excited to try some one. I begged for him to try on some Harry Potter ones, but he refused. He had his eyes dialated, and normally when your looking into Mr. Ice Blue eyes..and then all you see is this..
he looked pretty creepy! That was a good source of entertainment for me all day Wednesday. It’s the little things that make my world go around, I swear.
My favorite part of the week, was I got to a hold a brand new baby boy.. only 2 weeks old. It was glorious.. pics in handknit once I upload! BEYOND Adorable.
Today, I took my kids to see Horton Hears a Who!! Let me tell you, the movie theater is a RIPOFF. RIPOFF I SAY! But, thankfully.. I was pleasantly surprised and the movie was very cute, and enough humor for both a 3 and a 9year old to enjoy it.
Now it’s Friday night, the vino awaits… elefante awaits .. and a bag of dark M&M’s that my mom just sent in a surprise box.. for the kids. But really .. do they NEED all those M&M’s for themselves??? Hell to the NO!

Oooh. Bummer about the glasses. I can relate. As a kid I didn’t mind though…I was just happy to see! Love elefante so far. Enjoy your wine and the weekend! TGIF!

What is up with all the pictures of eyeballs? You’re sort of wierding me out.
Enjoy your weekend, my eyeball loving friend.

I think your striped elefante will be super cute.
Today glasses are cool!
My son (youngest-13) has a lazy eye and has been wearing glasses since he was 3. He has one eye with perfect vision and the other one is extremely farsighted. Now that he’s older he doesn’t have to wear glasses anymore (the good eye takes over and he has perfect vision)…but guess what? he wears them anyways as he is so used to them. He says he thinks he looks weird without them

stripey + elefante = awesome! Can’t wait to see the finished pachyderm, it will be super-cute. From a bespectacled family - we all knew our fate would include corrective lenses of some sort - kids seem to be very “ok” with it these days. And being able to go to a movie and *see* it is a plus (especially for the price of tickets these days!)
