A science experiment I did with the day care kids. Put bean seeds in baggies & watched roots go down to find water, and plant go up to find sun. Then we turned the bag over to see if roots & plant would continue in same direction. The kids were surprised to see that the roots and plant changed direction to continue their jobs of finding water and sun.

What I did at work today...mending books. I always get a huge stack of books that need something fixed on them. I wanted to try to keep up with it this year (repair some every day) so that it didn't get so overwhelming. I had fallen behind (again) but by the end of the day all that is left in my mending pile is one book...yeah!

Baking cookies, wearing the apron that Jim's Aunt Pat sent us last year & that has been hanging up in the kitchen ever since. She's been wanting to do more 'girly' things lately, trying on perfume, painting her nails, wearing an apron & baking. I wonder why... But, then again, this new interest in life as a girl still hasn't stopped her from catching frogs & wrestling with Shelby, either.

Today was my baby shower it was so nice seeing everyone. I loved all the gifts can't wait to see the baby use everything. I ended up putting everything away that night and organizing everything and picking out what the baby was going to wear home from the hospital. Tomorrow me and James and Jess are sleeping over at my mom's.

Gabby got rear-ended a couple of days ago. The other person was at fault and her insurance company says that it will cost too much to fix the car. So now Gabby is trying to decide if she will take their offer of $4,000 and they take the car, or $3,000 and she keeps the car. It is driveable, so she is leaning toward the 2nd option and then save for another car.

Once I finished spinning all the wool, I ended up with these four ugly balls of "singles". You can use them this way, but it is much better if you twist (or ply) them together to make 2-ply yarn.
This is the 2-ply yarn I ended up with... When you are just learning, you get some sections that are skinny and some fat, but when you ply them together they sort of even out in a lumpy sort of way... Who wants a lumpy scarf for Christmas?

Over the weekend a couple people asked what we did when it was nasty and we couldn't go outside. Dick reads and naps. I do silly things like "spin yarn"... This is some wool I bought from a fantastic shop on a farm near Marengo, with about half of it spun onto two handspindles. Very relaxing, once you practice enough to stop cussing... Especially if you can watch some girly movies while you do it!

Today in the mail I received 2 copies of the Family Fun magazine with my jellyfish costume idea published in it. They changed it quite a bit, but I guess that since they bought the idea from me, they can do what they want with it. I think my version was much cuter! And, I stll haven't received the $200 that they are paying me. I guess I'll give them a couple of weeks, then check into it. Still, it's fun to see my idea used - and on two pages!
