No Pictures just life

So I am not putting any pictures up today, mainly because I am just to tired. IT has been hectic around here lately. Both my kids have that nasty stomach virus going around this year, and Morrigan got hit with it REALLY bad. We had to take her to the emergency room last night to get her rehydrated. She just stopped eating and drinking and was throwing up yesterday. It was scary. They put her on an IV and we were able to take her home finally at about midnight last night. She is doing much better today, I just have to push the fluids and try to get her to eat.
In knitting news, I finished and gifted the last of the Central Park Hoodies to my mother-in-law. It turned out gorgeous in the berrocco ultra alpaca. Unfortuantely, I forgot to get a pic before I gave it to her. If I can, I will get her to take one so I can post it. Another forgotten photo opportunity is the Kushu Kushu scarf in Habu that I was making for the LYS. Wow, was that a pain to knit! I am so happy that it is finished and out of the house. And in return I am getting 7 skeins of Malabrigo. So it wasn't all bad! I am back onto the holiday knitting track now, although my list is exceptionally shorter than initially intended! I'll be lucky to get 4 gifts completed for xmas. Ah well. I'll just have to try to get an early start for next year. (Stop laughing! I mean it!) I am making the most adorable hat, scarf and mitten combo for Morrigan. I'll post pics next time when it is all completed. I made it all up in my head and it is really pretty. I am using Malabrigo in 2 different purple colorways (I think I am addicted to this yarn. Softness and gorgeous colors...what more can you ask for in a wool yarn?).
oh yeah, Thanksgiving was really nice this year. I stayed home and made turkey with all the fixins. My brother, his wife and baby came over and one of my other brothers came over as well. Nice and small. Delicious food and a chance to play the new Nintendo Wii system that my little bro brought over, good company and not leaving the house to run around made it one of the best Thanksgivings so far! I may even do it again next year!
Ok, that's it for me. I'll try to post soon with actual pictures, but I'm not promising anything!
