Go ahead, guess what size Gabby's shorts are!! Just guess! I bet you're wrong!

The answer: 0-3 MONTHS!!!! Yep, MONTHS! And, no, they are NOT made for "monster size" babies! They are Old Navy Vintage Baby brand! I got them on e-bay...thought I was getting 3T shorts, but I think this worked out better! Got another pair too...Gabby's THRILLED! She LOVES them! One of the new "hobbies" at our house is trying to balance on the exercise ball....
Or, Gabby's method....use it to launch into a handstand, cartwheel or walking on her hands! Gives the neighbors a GOOD LAUGH too when Steve or I try! No, I'm NOT posting pictures of me or Steve! Be happy....
Another new hobby is golf...Duncan is a leftie and very accurate...when he actually connects with the ball! He can hit the whiffle golf ball across the street from the middle of our front walk. Not bad for a leftie 4 year old with an astigmatism!
And, lastly, our new neighbor...Mama Mallard Duck! Goodness only knows WHY she chose the neighbor's garden to build her nest, but she did. Now she's egg warming. She is surprisingly calm when people are around! There's NO pond, pool or anything nearby, so we put out a pan of water today. The neighbors put out some bread.

OK...the funny story to go with Mrs. Mallard Duck:

Gabby's teacher is getting married tomorrow, April 25. The young man she is marrying has a last name of Melnechuk. Gabby, however, says, "Mallard-Chuck" making me think of a cross between a duck and a woodchuck!

Mr. and Mrs. Mallard Duck showed up on Monday. I say to the kids, "Hey, do you know what kind of ducks those are?" Silence... "They are Mallard Ducks." Duncan pipes up, "Mallard DUCKS?!! You mean like Mallard-Chuck?!" TOO FUNNY! I told the teacher...she thought it was amusing.......

Doing lots of knitting, but have not taken pictures lately. I made a pair of socks originally for Gabby's teacher, but I think I'll make her a pair in a different color. Besides, I REALLY like these socks! The pattern is called "Running With Scissors." I'll post a photo/link soon. Also just started a dress sock for Steve. He has NARROW feet and LONG legs...and he wants his dress socks to go TO his knees! Very difficult to find...so I thought I'd knit some & see how they turn out. Gotten LOTS of COOL yarns thru Ravelry--a WONDERFUL online knitting/crochet/spinning/yarn community. I just LOVE it!

That's about it...been enjoying the WARM weather and the basement is NEARLY done. YIPEE!!
