I'd better get Knitting

You know, it's always about this time of year, when the snow flies, and it's frickin' cold, that I realize I should have started knitting mittens in June. Maybe they would be done (for once) when the snow flies, and it's frickin' cold. I have one of Nicholas' felted mittens done. And half a cuff on the other one. Oh and I bought the yarn for the girls' mittens.
So here is our blizzard (as taken by Brian):


And the good news on the Christmas PJ front? I found the patterns! They were in a drawer in the kitchen (and why wouldn't they be??). Oh yeah, and since JoannDOTcom (I am writing it like this, because I don't want anyone to make a mistake and click on a link that will take you to an evil, unorganized hole-"That's all I got to say about that.") screwed up my order, I have flannel for exactly ONE pair of pajamas. Which means I see a flannel run in my future.

Our Christmas cards should be coming today. Those of you who do not have multiple children might not realize how hard it is to get a decent picture (and those of you who do will understand why I bought a fast camera!) Unless of course you are one of those mom's who have complete angels as children. Bah. Anyway, I thought I would share some of the rejects with you (the last is my favorite of Emily):


Happy Friday everyone!
