Totally scattered

My brain is totally scattered, do you have that problem? It's a real problem at my house. Either way children are being fed and semi-clothed and in the end isn't that all that matters?

My longtime/childhood/best friend came to help us a few weekends ago and we had a great time. It's nice to have a friend that you don't have to overly clean for.

Oliver stopped by to visit last week on his way to the wild wild west. He and Lilly really wanted us to name the baby Oliver, so they've formed a bitter club about it.

Jackson is one month old now, he is getting fat, which is cute. I don't have the patience to take cute baby pictures, so I need one of my talented photographer friends to come and take some.

One of my new ways to stay sane is to visit my local yarn shop for about an hour a week. Jim is really great and takes the kids. I completed my first knitting project ever. It's a hat for me, but I thought Lilly was a cuter model. Knitting is seriously hard, but I like the way it looks for some projects. My next project is a sweater for Jackson. I am going to make it in the 1-2 year size so I have plenty of time to be frustrated, give up, restart the project, and possibly finish it without too much pressure.

We were at the grocery store today and every time the cart would bump the baby would stir and Lilly kept telling me that I was waking him up. She was very concerned and finally yelled at me "Mom, you're really freaking him out!" That is my funny moment for the day.
