More orange(ish) socks for my son.  These don't really have a pattern just knit till it seemed time for the heel. 

Ok so I haven't written in a bit.  On Saturday we went to my husband's family for Christmas.  It wasn't so bad.  My son was a bit bored and there was some problem with waiting for people.  My daughter got an Easy Bake oven and she is really excited about it.  We need to go to the craft store so we can make some "thank you" notes.  The sad part was that my husband's grandma doesn't seem to be doing well.  I'm going to as my husband's mom if there is something I can make for grandma like a lapgan or something.  It's really the only thing I know how to do. 

I really wanted to go to church on Sunday but the weather was really bad. My husband was going to come home on his break from work and switch the car with me so we could go but he said he had trouble driving.  If he is having trouble driving the less (fewer?) than two miles to work I don't want to go farther with just me and the kids.  Hopefully the weather will be better next week. 

Yesterday was the first day of winter break (if you don't count the weekend) and having the kids home threw me off.  We also spent 4 hours in Walmart.  That wasn't out intent.  The plan was to go and get snow pants and a couple of other thing then go and get blank cards to make "thank you" cards and maybe some other shopping.  There were some problems.  Firstly the car door didn't want to shut.  I didn't want to try to drive holding the door shut.  Secondly we had lunch there. Thirdly the kids slow me down.  Also even though I had a list I was kind of scatter brained and ended up wandering back and forth a lot.  And finally my daughter decided to spend some of her Christmas money to get her ears pierced.  So by the time we did all that and got through the line it was time for my husband to get off work.  It was not what I had planned for yesterday.  Today I think we can get back on track. 

I did knit a little but haven't gotten much done, it wasn't even on my sweater.  Today I plan to listen to podcasts and try to finish the sweater (besides chasing the kids around to get some cleaning done).  Once I have the sweater done I need to go to the yarn store and look for buttons and I have a couple questions for them.  I have so many projects to do I really need to knit faster (they are almost all knit, that's weird). 

I don't know if I will post tomorrow so Merry Christmas everyone.
