One Rainy Day
After days of rain…
the sun peeked out between all those clouds–for just a little minute. So Lily, Beckham and I rushed over to the school yard at the end of the block. We had the place completely to ourselves…
which meant that I could sit in the car with the doors open and just let them run and play. Yes, yes…I was being Lazy-Bones-Jones but they were happy–I was happy–so all was right with the world.
Then Beck rushed back to tell me something that he totally forgot by the time he got to the sidewalk…
and spied a row of teeny tiny ants–very, very interesting when you’re just 3 years old.
Very…very. And while he was contemplating the little critters…
Lily ran back to the car with some treasures of her own…
just in the nick of time!
:]
PS–the bald kid tells me–now that he’s left the valley–the rain should clear up soon. He swears it was only here because he and I love it so much. I guess we’ll see.

:: The Magical Scrapbasket ::
It all started with a little girl who wanted to play in her mommy’s scrap basket for bit. It was great fun making scarves and headbands and bracelets…for about 10 minutes.
Then a very strange thing happened.
No on saw it coming.
The silly boys came along…
and changed the game entirely.
How it went from sashes and bows…
to ninjas and bad guys…
is a complete mystery to me…although, I think, perhaps it had something to do with the bearded one.
Lucky for us, that in their quest for complete world domination–even He-Man and Mighty Mouse have room for…
a properly placed Wood Sprite.
Smart guys.

Springtime Ruffle Hat
I know, I know. The Springtime thing is a bit elusive around these parts (more on that later)–
but by-dang, we’re going to be dressed and ready for it when it does show up. Lily and Chompy have both needed a new girlie hat and this pretty little thing certainly worked just perfectly.
So the Springtime Ruffle Hat from Annie’s Attic became my busy fingers crochet project while we watched General Conference on TV. I used my standard–Peaches and Cream cotton in white and by the time all four sessions were over…
Lily’s was finished.
Now, I know full well that both little ladies could end up wearing these pretty Easter hats in another Utah snowstorm…
~sigh…
but we’ll hope for the best.
A bit of chanting couldn’t hurt either.
Spr-ing…Spr-ing…Spr-ing..
