Day with Mud

MMMM snow day!

After rushing around and running at crazy holiday speed,

a snow day is just what the Mom ordered.

I woke up and finished the hat I've been making.

It's supposed to be for Simon

alas his mommy was learning how to read knitting patterns and screwed it up all to hell.

I followed the pattern and it looks wonderful I just didn't understand the gauge directions (I do now) and so I knitted it with size 8 needles which say 5.5m on them which is what I thought the pattern meant. It meant 5.5 stiches to an inch. So the hat fits me but it's too short.

So I will rip out and knit up a new one in no time.

Isn't it sweet.

I then turned my temporary enthusiasum for my children to the kitchen

(You know snow day happiness only lasts til 10:30 then they just need to go to school.)

Breakfast was a RARE treat -as in never before and never again-

of fresh biscuits with hot chocolate, a candy cane and greek yogurt.

Oh it was good to be my kid this morning.

I pulled the bread out of the fridge to rise and now

Suzie homemaker

is done.

It's off to laundry and droning housework.

but what a delightful to start.
