Today was Maxwell's last Pinewood Derby. He had a super cool car with very unique wights on it. I think most of them were old school computer components. Max called it the Golden Racer!!

John's New Sweater

I'm finally done with John's sweater. I spent all day Monday finishing it. The sleeves are a bit long but everything else is good. I've been working on it at least 6 months on and off. For a while I was worried I would not finish it until spring, then he would not have been able to wear it. It's 100% wool so the sweater is very warm. He has been wearing it instead of his slanket when we watch t.v.

Hopefully the next one won't take so long.

Juno Loves to Help

Derek and I went camping last weekend. When we got home Juno wanted to help me unpack :)
She also "helped" me roll my clean sleeping bag. It took 5 min., an extraordinarily long time for rolling a bag, but we finally got it done. It's like having a 3 year old again!

Max had a great birthday. He got a huge Lego set from Grandmommy and Papa, gift cards, more lego and video games.

Lil' Earthquake

We just had a little earthquake. It was a 4.1 at about 10:09am somewhere in Milpitas. I was sitting at my computer knitting and watching a video when I felt quite a good jolt but nothing after that. I guess there was a microquake after but I did not feel it. I stood in the bedroom doorway for a bit but nothing more happened.

For Christmas Max got a Lego t-shirt. When it came in the mail I thought the company sent the wrong size. Because it was so close to Christmas when it arrive we decided not to wrap it and send it back. Later on Christmas day we showed Max the shirt but explained we needed to send it back. Several days later I got back into the swing of things and went to send it back. I still had not opened it but looking at the package, I thought for sure they had sent an adult large not a kids large. At the last minute I decided to open the package. I just wanted to make 100% sure it was indeed the wrong size.

I was wrong! It was child sized. So Max got his Lego shirt, Yay.

Max loves it. The t-shirt has a velcro square on it so he can build something on the black base then attach it to the shirt. So far the shark seems to be popular.

Soda Rocket

For Christmas the boys got Mentos rockets in the stockings.
