Done with the hat!

This morning Michael took care of the the boys for me while I slept in. I so look forward to Saturday mornings! He promised to wash the bottles today, but didn’t. We both hate washing bottles. I really outta push the boys to not use bottles anymore. But I’m lazy.

In the afternoon, I really wanted to go yarn shopping. So we went out to Marienplatz to Ludwig Beck. On our way there, we ran into Steve and De Knipple. It’s so cool that the city is small enough that you actually run into people you know. And it’s not like we know a lot either! Michael at this point decided to turn around and head home so that I could take my time shopping. I was a little disappointed. I expected a lot more. They pretty much had the cheapie yarns, no imports, just German and Italian yarns (or at least that’s what it seemed like). They only had a handful of stuff in a billion different colors. I bought some trial balls to see if they will work for the project that I’m starting.

After that store, I decided to check out Galleria Kaufhof and Hertie for their selections. Kaufhof sucked and really didn’t have much. Hertie I thought was the best selection, even though it still was the cheapie yarns. I bought even more trial stuff to play with.

I’m working on a pattern for my cousin, Lynn. I would tell you what is is but she reads this blog so I can’t until she gets it. It’s kind of funky and it might be a little bit too “out there” for her. We’ll see. She has to at least take a picture of herself with it and then she can throw it away. I’m sure she is dying to know what it is now. It’s not that big of a deal…

Anyhoo, I was exhausted when I came home, so much walking! Michael pretty much took care of the boys all day and then I sent him out to get dinner supplies (it is Saturday and stores are closed Sunday and Monday since it is a holiday). We always need milk. I made chicken katsu for dinner. Yummy! Used the microwave rice cooker again and it worked great. It still is spurting out water, but Michael suggested that we put a bowl underneath it to catch all the yuck. Why didn’t I think of that? The problem is that the bowl has to be bigger than the rice container but smaller than the microwave, which is a very small margin.

We also have gotten super messy over the last few days. I mean, if you knew how messy it would gross you out. So, we started the cleanup process. Around our bed is really bad because we read, knit, watch tv, study, whatever in bed so we have all kinds of clothes, books, yarn, coke cans and what not everywhere. I think Michael made like 5 trips up and down to clean everything off. We seriously considered hiring a maid today, I think we probably will as long as our rent is reduced!

Today’s daily video is of the boys playing around with a Nalgene bottle.
