Milestones

Today was a big day for the minions; the hubby took them to get their first ball gloves and bat. During a break from the many thunderstorms that have been rolling through Central Iowa lately, they were able to go outside and start breaking in their new equipment. Little man was really trying hard to impress Daddy. Little miss could not be left out. We have a ways to go technique-wise but the kids had fun and so far, no injuries!

I don't really have much to add in terms of fiber-related things. I'm currently working through some roving from 1000 Petals and am liking how the singles are turning out. I've filled this bobbin since this photo was taken and am moving onto the second. And this is what you get when you have the urge to do some crochet without a definite color plan. I call it, the fugtional hot pad. It's not very pretty, but I'm fine with it as long as it protects my table :)

Here's a little photo of the current storm front moving across our neighborhood. We've gone through the still before the storm and the temperature has dropped about 10 degrees Fahrenheit in the last 5 minutes or so I think I'll wrap this up, tell the hubby to bring the minions in (they seem to have inherited his desire to be outside when the rain/storm hits) and head downstairs. Just in case :)
