Maggie & the Moby

As much as I could care less about the Packers, their stadium does come in handy for community events.  This weekend, they hosted a Halloween get-together for kids.  Free!  Granted, our kid was kind of too little to partake in the treats, crafts, and face painting, but we like to check these things out for future reference.  We really enjoyed…

It was our trial run with the Moby wrap that I made.  Okay, saying I made it is a bit misleading.  I did buy the fabric and cut it to size.  and Voila! Moby wrap.  A very low-stress project.  It’s comfy – a bit bulky, but lots less stress on the shoulders than the Bjorn.  Wish I had taken others’ advice and prepped this sooner!  Oh well, next baby…

Update

The hat has been found! Apparently someone else took it home by mistake. You know, because so many kids at this particular daycare have knit pumpkin hats. Or maybe because that hunter orange and bright green just blend in with your other baby supplies... maybe something like that.

Ear update: We are at quadruple ear infections at the house where we live. Yes, I have double ear infections, too. *sigh* The nurse practioner remarked that ear infections are so rare in adults. Humph! Lucky me.

MISSING:

One pumpkin hat previously blogged about. Fits babies approximately 8 months old. Took hours and hours and 4 failed starts before it was finished. Last seen... daycare.

Should you or anyone you know have information as to the whereabouts of this pumpkin hat, please contact your local authorities immediately!

Finished Project

First baby hat finished – check!

Liked by recipient – check!

Fit – oops! not so snug…

 

I think it might have been the “help” I got while finishing that encouraged me to knit a bit extra (i.e. lose track of where I was in the pattern).  Oh well, she can wear it next year too, right?

Pumpkin Palooza

Farmer Maggie and a cart full of…Maggies"? Must have been a bumper crop.

We had a good time at the Pumpkin Place on Saturday, but then again, who doesn’t love a corn maze, photo cut-outs and $8-$15 pumpkins? Seriously, they were spendy!

Full disclosure: we bought one small, pock-marked pumpkin for $5. We chose it because it looked scary enough without us having to carve it.

Maggie was sporting her new pumpkin hat and ladybug Halloween costume. We’ll have to head back next year to see how much she grows!

Did She Just Say What I Think She Said?

Or am I just hearing what I want to hear?

Adorable

Doesn’t this shirt just say it all?

Seriously – we’ve been dealing with a chronic runny nose around these parts for weeks now.  At least it finally provided some comic relief amidst the shrieks when Kleenex draw near…
