Mouse Lawn Guys


This is George's drawing of the many bags of grass clippings cut by the mouse lawn guys. Their truck is in the upper corner. Then you see the many many bags (they look like olives to me). The little dots are the mouse footprints. Some of the bags are so small that one mouse can carry them but some of the bags are so big that it takes many mice working together to carry them.

In the lower part of the picture you can see all the grass that they have cut.

Charlotte's new pants






These pants (shown on a reluctant model) are made from Wooly Wonder's perfection pants pattern. Instead of a tie at the waist, I used I-cord with a strand of round elastic run up the middle. The I-cord is knotted at the ends. It stretches enough for me (or Charlotte) to pull them on or off, and then is tight enough to keep them on. The yarn is Rowan's Magpie, a heavy worsted.


Most of the time she loves these pants.

Halloween 2005

Cynthia, George and Charlotte went to a Halloween party while Dean was out of town. We're dressed as Teletubbies. George is Po, Charlotte is Laa-Laa, and I'm Dipsy.

Charlotte's favorite parts of the party were the cats....

.... and the Scooby Doo movie! All three kids were pretty tired.



On Halloween night George really liked handing out the candy. If there weren't any people at the door, he would run out into the lawn, calling, "Come to our house! Lots of candy!"



Here's Tinky Winky!







Charlotte loved my Dipsy hat.


Well, we tried to get the whole family together for a picture, but George wouldn't put on his costume. Charlotte's holding a Po doll as a stand-in. George took the picture.

Happy Halloween!
