Weekends




This weekend contained:

-watching the movie Iron Man and finding out I like superheros!
-sharing a dinner with good friends while laughing and talking about our kids and our animals.
-enjoying the time change Sunday morning and leisurely getting ready for church.
-being a little sad that in a few weeks the after dinner walk with Frodo will have to be before dinner or not at all because of the darkness.
-savoring a meal made by my husband-it feels like a vacation for me every time he cooks!
-chatting with both kids and looking forward to Thanksgiving vacation.
-only having two knitting projects and daydreaming about what should be my next project.
-a walk around the property with Frodo, snapping photos of all the fallen leaves and bare trees.  Only our oaks are holding on to their leaves.
-just being happy being.

Joining Amanda at the habit of being.

    Wow! It seems like you just got those kiddos off to school and now it's time for their 1st visit back. How wonderful. Love all those leaves and husbands who cook!

    Weekends are the best! I had so much more time to get ready for church too! I'll hate that though in the spring when that hour comes back to bite me!

    Such a peaceful frantic-free weekend! I think you have to be a mom who has raised children to really really appreciate these!!
    I loved 'being happy being'--sums it up so well!!

    My two oldest boys are very much into super heroes right now. Not a day goes by that I don't hear about captain america or spiderman or iceman. Or my oldest's favorite - Super G (that would be him)!

    Iron Man is full of awesome sauce. :-) But so are the movies about the other Avenger, too. (Thor, Captain America, The Hulk)

    Can you tell I had a brother that was REALLY into comic books?!

    We enjoyed that extra hour for a more leisurely Sunday morning before church too. Oh! Your husband cooks? What a treat! And did he clean up too?

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh!

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
