Here is the August picture.  I know it's late but July really threw us off.  If I do this again next year I'll have to pick a spot that is not dependent on the golf property.  It was really overcast and humid.  A little wile after this picture we had a thunderstorm.  I should have waited till now to do it because it's bright out now.  I'm getting tired of weather.com.  Not only do they have a lot of fear mongering "adds" on the side of the page, they don't seem very accurate right now.

For knitting I finished both my nieces hats but there was a problem.  On the little one, once I was done and all the ends were tucked in I found a hole.  It's as if I somehow did an accidental yarn over.  I'm not going to rip back, it was such a little hat I'll just make another one.  The small adult one I made took about 5.5 hours and the toddler one took about 2.5. When I make the little one again I will make sure to time it more accurately.

I watched a few episodes of Yarnivore yesterday.  She likes to recommend music and I had forgotten how much I liked Concrete Blond.  I had trouble with some of Yarnivore's episodes. I'm not sure if was Blip or Worpress or my computer.  I didn't worry about it though because they were from 2011 and I want to get the newer ones.  Today is a kdrama day.

The kids seemed to have a pretty good day on their fist day of school.  At the bus stop, when Amey goes out, there are kids from 5th grade through high school. That seemed like a lot of kids so I have been walking with her to the bus stop but I may not need to do that.  There are only about five high schoolers and they, of course, don't talk to the middle schoolers. I'm still trying to decide if I should go and get my exercise done at that time.  When she came home she said she got her locker open by her self most of the time and had a good day.  She said her classes were boring because it was just a lecture on expectations not actually doing anything.  They sent her home with home work for the weekend too which I think is good.

When Mooky left at the same time as Amey he seemed to follow her lead, maybe stuck in her shadow, but without her he seemed more confident.  I'm not sure if his personality is emerging because she isn't there to bug him or if I'm just not distracted and noticing.  When he came home he threw his backpack on the floor said "leave me alone" and went to bed.  I think he was just tired because nothing bad happened at school.     He is a little harder to talk to but I got the information out of him in bits and pieces.  I think they are both looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow.

I think that's about it.  I wanted to go Letter Boxing tomorrow but Weather.com says it will rain so we'll see.  See you next time.
