These are my sons socks so far.  I just need to do the ribbing and they will be done.  I just need to buckle down and finish them.  I'm going to have just enough of the yarn.  I don't have a picture of the blue socks because they are in the bin waiting to be washed.  Once the orange socks are finished I will wash both pairs at the same time because washing one pair at a time seems silly.  My sister sent the yarn so I have been working on my nephew's hat.  I feel bad that it's taking me so long.  It looks like it will take me about 9-10 hours and at $6/hour I feel bad.  I want to be paid for my time but I don't want to price gouge my sister. With the commission projects everything else will probably go on the back burner.  I'm having a bit of trouble with the charity knitting because I only have one needle in every size so if the size I need is in another project I'm kind of stuck.  Yes, many of them are interchangeable but that is still a bit of a pain.  I'll see what I can do.

On Saturday Amey came home from her aunt's house.  They took Mooky out for a bit but he had some behavior issues so they brought him back.  It was nice to visit with my in-laws.  On Sunday we went out to eat and went to see a movie.  We very rarely go to see movies at the theater but the one movie we wanted to see this summer was Guardians of the Galaxy.  Since my husband is a comic book nerd he really enjoyed it.  I liked it too but it was a little bit hard with Mooky wanting jump around and talk every five minutes. I'm sure we will buy it when it comes out on video.   The only thing I was disappointed with was the after credit clip.  All the Marvel movies have a little clip after the credits and this one was dumb.

I did get caught up on It's Okay, That's Love.  There are a couple of weird plot points but overall it was good.  My husband and I also watched three episodes of Tenchuu-Yami no Shiokinin.  It's based off the video game as far as I know.  I like it but it's a bit heavy on the parkour.  Since it is about ninja it is violent so it could be trigry.  Outside of that I've just been watching a lot of Kitchen Nightmares because I don't have to read subtitles for it.  

The weather is so beautiful right now.  Tomorrow the kids have eye doctor appointments for school.  I got Mooky's school supplies but I forgot the paper for Amey's so we'll do that tomorrow.  We may get at least Mooky a haircut tomorrow also.  That's it I think.  See you next time.
