Organizing

I consider myself an organized person for the most part.  However, if you can't see it whats the point right?  My husband is the one who is the "closet" organizer.  Well I have this so called china chest that has gotton out of control in my dining room.  Mainly because I don't really use it for china, I do put some dishes in there but mostly its used for crafty things for the kids and anything I can't find a home for thats where I put it.  Needless to say it is out of control.

  Another thing that is becoming out of control is my yarn supply... now I am not complaining because to me its very exciting to look at and decide what I want to knit with it.  The biggest problem is where the heck do I put it.  Well, I decided to be an "organizer" and clean out my so called china cabinet.  I am very proud of my organization skills and would like to share them with you.  My husband will probably have heart failure when he sees it because he knows this is not normal for me.  So here it is ...

A lot of Randomness

Well for a couple of days now I have been thinking about what I might write about.  I started thinking why people really even care and then I realized I check daily to see if people have updated their blog so I figured I best get on it.  I get very irritated when I check someone elses blog and it has been like 3 months or longer since they have updated theirs, not that I would start mentioning names or anything...

So, last night Ben and I decided we needed a date night desperately.  It is hard to spend alone time with four children.  We headed out to Olive Garden where we had a great meal and great conversation plus the bonus was he cut his own meat!  After OG we headed to Joann's to see if there were any yarn sales of course.  As I sit and think about last night I realize what a wonderful man I married.  Even though it was a low key date just being with him and talking and laughing made me realize how lucky I am, he is lucky of course cause he got me! I am saddened at how many marriages fall apart daily and people who never experience the joys that our marriage has!  It has taken a lot of work but keeping God at the center of it has been the rock that truly holds it together.  Well enough of that it was startin to get to deep.  Anyway, on to bigger things, when we were at Joann's I added to my sock yarn.  I am bingeing on making socks.  Can u do that?  If you are me yes you can, I have made 1 pair of socks and 2 socks that need pairs made in the last 2 weeks, I love socks.  Thinkin about starting a "sock wardrobe"  I am going to attempt to post a picture of my socks but we shall see but until then...

The Flu

Well..it has happened.  The unthinkable!  The Taylors have officially started the stomach flu.  I know its horrible. Ella had it last Friday and we started feeling like we were out of the woods until lastnight at 10 Luke starts yellin. Now if you are squimish this is when you stop reading.  Ben and I go in his room and wouldn't ya know it he didn't make it to the toilet.  Puke everywhere.  You wanna know the best part?  We had mexican for dinner and right before bed he had a nice big mug of hot cocoa.  Wow, what  a mess. We finally got in bed and Ben says to me "I refuse to get this stuff, I will fight it with my life."  Well, you know whats coming, I woke up at 3:15 am to Ben heaving in the bathroom.  He fought it all right!  So, the questions for me is, when will it hit me?  I won't refuse it but I sure as heck won't like it!  Sorry no pictures for this one.

Knitting Day

For about 6 months now my Aunt Tina and my mom have been coming to my house for knitting.  It has been so much fun getting to know my Aunt and also learning all of her knitting secrets!  I never saw myself as being a knitter but man have I enjoyed it.  It has been so much fun coming up with different patterns to work on and being creative.  I have finished a pair of socks and a sweater that was so large all three of us could have fit in it, but I enjoyed making it.  Stay tuned for further updates on "knitting days".

This is mom wrestling her sheep :)  ok maybe its her sweater she is working on!

This picture is for Megan, seriously this looks to big but your mom is insistent that its not!
