Grandma Greta helped Katie with her science fair project this year. They extracted her DNA which is pretty impressive and if Grandma could have helped her to the finish, she might have won, but unfortunately, I had to take over and the science went downhill from there.
Lizzy saw the bunny lovey I made and wanted me to make me one so I found another cute bunny pattern and just finished it for her. It is so adorable. I just love her little tail and panties!
Lizzy loves her! Of course, now that commits me to making one for Katie. We'll see how long that takes since I'm starting back to school now.
I got a knitting bug a couple of weeks ago and started a baby blanket for a friend and I actually finished it! Yay for big needles and a simple pattern!
Since the tubes were closed when we went during the evening, on Friday, we went back to go inside the windows with some friends. We took the light rail downtown which the kids always enjoy. They especially enjoyed the ride back which was standing room only, turning down every seat offered in favor of standing.
Unfortunately it was hard to get a good picture with all the glare.
After they crawled though the windows about 10 times, we headed inside. Nieman marcus is a scary place to take kids! But luckily no one broke anything. I'm sure they were glad to see us leave.
The day after Christmas, we decided to go downtown and ride the trolley.
First, we stopped at Village Burger Bar for some hamburgers and lemonade.
The trolley is lots of fun for the kids and free except for tips!
When we came to the end of the line, we hopped off and walked 6 blocks down to Main St.
They had a pretty tree which changes colors or snows if you send it text messages. Of course, my phone battery was dead.
Next, we played in the park for a bit on these really cool spinning toys that I haven't seen before. They were lots of fun and even Theo and I rode them.
We walked a block down to Nieman Marcus and took a look inside their famous windows.
They had really cool tubes for the kids to crawl through, but they were closed.
Then after a long (why is the walk back always longer?), cold walk back to the trolley we headed home.
