Kids Clothes Week Wrap Up
It always happens. I start KCW with energy to spare. I’m going to be fast and efficient! I will not fall down during the weekend! And I get tired and fall down during the weekend. My excuses this time are…
Photo Monday – Lazy
Ya know, I didn’t think I’d get any pictures up for today. I wasn’t feeling so well and almost didn’t go outside to see Mr. Mouse carving out the pumpkin with the “help” of his souricettes. But I went and…
Kids Clothes Week Midpoint

Photo Monday – The New Park
There’s a new park at souricette 1’s school. The old play structures were falling apart and were taken down during the Summer. The new ones went up and the park opened at the beginning of last week. It was the place…
Another Old One
I’ve made myself exactly two things on my knitting machine. One was for school. This one I made before I got pregnant with souricette 2. Yeah, I’m kind of slow with the sharing thing, huh? Before leaving Montreal, I ordered…
