Is it Fall yet?

It is the dog days of summer here in Texas - it's a very, very hot one this year.

The boys are doing well. I've had Leo busy all summer at VBS, a trip to Louisiana, Spanish Immersion Summer Camp, a trip to Lubbock, and they both went to daycamp at a local church. Leo starts Kindergarten in two weeks - hard to believe! Henry cried the first few times I dropped him off at daycamp, but he is happy to go every day now and was very upset when I wouldn't take him as soon as he got up this morning. Henry is still a talking machine and amazes us with his vocabulary and ability to mimic.

The poison ivy rash just wouldn't start getting any better and was keeping me awake, so I finally went and got steroids and a rx antihistimine. It is finally looking better.

I've been trying to make more time for doing a few little things that are just for me. I picked up my crochet hook again - had to get out the book I initially used to learn crochet to remind myself how to get started. I began with a couple of dishrags...

And yesterday I made my first hat! I'm pretty proud of it. I really enjoyed making it, and it only took a few hours. Fun but dangerous! My next project is to make a table runner for the table in the foyer.

What I did this weekend...

Somehow...someway...I got Poison Ivy. I guess it's Poison Ivy. I haven't been in a wooded area, but that's what it seems to be. So, I spent the weekend on the couch, pretty much. Thank goodness the worst days were when Todd was home. I went to The Minute Clinic and she would only give me a topical - no pills or shots. So it is taking awhile to go away. It is worst on my right leg, but I have it on both legs and both arms.

Friday morning...

I was playing around with some music yesterday, and Henry decided to dance to the oldies! In the first one you can hear him say "cheese!" - he does that whenever he sees a camera. I don't say that to him, so I don't know where he heard it.

Moving on from Noggin

Recently, Leo has been watching a little bit of The History Channel. Mostly this is b/c it's often on that channel in the mornings when he turns it on b/c Todd likes to watch it at night.

So, today...in the car..

Leo: Mommy, look I see an airplane waaaaaay over there.
Me: Yes, I see it!
Leo: Or is that a rock from a catapult?
Me: No, we don't use catapults anymore.
Leo: Oh, yeah, they used to use those in the dark.

(As in...The Dark Ages)
