An attempt at weekly posting gone awry

The knitting continues; perhaps providing a reason for the decrease in posting?  I finished one scarf for Hannah.  It is interesting and, I imagine, will be something that we look back on with great fondness and humour as we contemplate its lack of integrity from its home in the dress-up box.  The second scarf, however, is a work of tremendous accomplishment.  For a second scarf.  Even the boys want it, despite its colour.  Dave still remains largely indifferent.  And slightly confused as to how his wife is slowly becoming her mother.

It is Monday and I have run almost head first into Hallowe'en.  I must convince Jacob that wearing last year's costume is really a great opportunity to improve on the prior year's efforts rather than an admission that there is nothing else in which to dress but the cut up bed sheet stored lovingly in the ziploc bag.  (My back hurts too much to fix the grammar in that last sentence.)  Thankfully the two little boys are quite excited to dress as ninjas, costumes for which their wardrobes provide the necessary components.  Thank you Youtube.  Hannah said that she is going as herself and I am unconcerned.  Her ability to run the world will surely produce something great for Hallowe'en.  And Isaac is still completely unaware that there is a major holiday on Wednesday and will likely be compliant when asked to wear the lamb or penguin suit.  Sarah will dress as a baby in a sling who read August's post in which her mother, quite stupidly, wrote that she slept through the night.  Ahh, the gods of sleep will have their revenge.  And it will be terrible.
