Finished Knitted Pumpkin, Knitting Sock, Halloween, and Reading On

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. It has been awhile since I have posted! I have some things to share now to update you. I had a fun Halloween dressing up for a work virtual huddle, dressing up Evan for his daycare Halloween party, decorating our porch, and giving out candy to trick or treaters. I watched The Nightmare before Christmas after we were out of candy (120-ish bags and handfuls of candy later!). I felt like it all went so well and was so happy after such a wonderful holiday celebration.

I carved this pumpkin the night before Halloween for the pumpkin carving contest at work and the trick or treaters. It was fun to use the stencil from a carving kit and carve the pumpkin. I hadn't done that in years. I chose this monster thought it was cute!

Evan was dressed as a monkey and I dressed up as a scarecrow for the Halloween contest at work! I bought both on Amazon and happy with the costumes how they looked, fit, both great quality.

I finished knitting the pumpkin! Pattern was fun to knit again this is the third pumpkin I knitted using this patter and really like it.  The pattern is called Knit Pumpkin and is by Katrina McNerney on Ravelry.

I am continuing to read Here One Monent by Liane Moriarty. I have been enjoying it so far and it makes you think about our lives and you never know what to expect.

I am also continuing to knit the socks by on Ravelry by Meaghan Schmaltz. I will be knitting these more now that I finished the pumpkin and Halloween has passed. 

I took a selfie of Millie and I as I was taking photos she was around. It was during Evan's nap and busy getting the pumpkin finished and having some time to relax and blog afterwards.

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I hope that you are having a good weekend and great week ahead!

Happy Fall, Knitting Pumpkin, and Reading On

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. I am so happy it is Fall now and it is getting cooler. I love that it is October soon it is such a special month every year, It is my Birthday on the 10th, then Thanksgiving, and Halloween. So much to celebrate. 

I started knitting a pumpkin and I have knitted this pattern before. It is a fun pattern I found on Ravelry by Katrina McNerney and will be finished soon. 

I have been continuing to read The Whole-Brain child by Daniel Siegel and read a little each night. I have been enjoying it. I haven't been reading Doing it All as much but will continue on soon.

Millie was so interested in a floating balloon this past weekend. She is so cute watching it go around. Evan was also hitting it and following it. They are so cute together when they are looking and playing with the same thing that is so sweet. 

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I hope you are having a good start to the week!

Happy September, Knitting Socks, and Reading On

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well.  I am so happy it is September now and love this time of the year with back to school and it is almost Fall.  I did buy Evan the clothes and backpack for starting in his new classroom and the cooler weather coming. I am happy with my purchase from Carters. This month we have some family get togethers and our Anniversary later in the month as well. Fall is my favorite season of the year and I am looking forward to decorating, having fall drinks, and some fun knitting project plans.

I have been working on knitting the first sock of the vanilla sock pattern from Meaghan Schmaltz on Ravelry. I am almost done knitting the leg of the sock and will work on the heel soon. It is a relaxing knit so far.

I have been continuing to read The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel Seigal and Doing it All by Whitney Casares. I will be ordering a book for Fall this week and will share it soon I would like to get into another fiction book.

Here is Millie sitting on the couch she was cleaning and was in a funny position. Evan is doing well and moving to the Toddler room this week! It will be an adjustment for all of us but he is so ready. 

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I hope that you have a great week!
