Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

I think that is the best pic ;-)
Pam
now, why wasn't i ever smart enough to feed my kids or grandgirl the truly messy stuff when all they had on was a disposable diaper and a smile?
as for the baby, she wears lasagna well!
ellen in indy
I've actually fed my children while bathing in the sink. It will never win me the Mother of the Year award, but that was SO many steps I saved:-)
how decadent. Naked and eating lasagne!!!
bathing suits work well too for the older kids
baby is so cute
I was thirty some years old before I ever ate watermelon without putting on a swimsuit first. But lasagna by hand? What a brilliant idea! I hope you spread a plastic drop-cloth under the chair. Then you take it outside, hose it off, and the floor is clean!
The picture would mae a wonderful greeting card. Thanks for the delicious dinner sort of thing.
Catching up here - I have a very similar 'sketti pic of mine at about that age - they're so cute!!
I noticed that you've got the mystery knit on straights - since I have hand, wrist and thumb issues, I only use straights for very tiny things, or for something that's going to come off the needles very quickly. I can't handle the extra pain from the weight of the knitting being on one end of a needle. How come you don't use circulars? I find pain a very good excuse for splurging on Addi's!
Yup, still the cutest kid ever!
I loved to take pics of T like that! For my enjoyment giver her a chocolate pudding cup.
