What a week!

Checkout these two...
Adorable, aren't they?... Ha! Between the two of them they have been giving us the time of our life (in a bad way) over the past week or more. Both have been unwell, and they've set up a bit of a roster to make sure that we all share in their misery - Caleb goes from 5:30am till 7pm, with some help from Daniel in between. Then we get a few hours respite, designed to lull us into thinking everything will now be OK, until we get into bed and Daniel starts his shift...
...but never mind, we are still hanging in here and doing what we have to do, including a little bit of drawing......(briefly) revisiting forgotten quilts......and baking...lots of it......so much baking that even walking continuously for a month would not begin to pay for this bout of baking... But, the week is over; the birthday is behind us (and we thoroughly enjoyed it); the kids are (slowly) getting better. Today was spent in 'recovery' mode, with my 'recovery' project: a scarf. I think that I get a knitting urge every winter. Phil sighs and tells me to stick to sewing, as my knitting projects are not generally too successful. But I still can't help myself. And anyway, how hard can a scarf be? Actually, it's not a scarf, its a cowl - so no loose ends to be sucked on by babies or stitched over by sewing machines. I'll keep you posted! Enjoy your Sunday!
