conversations with invisible pigs and sheep

jim: “I’m going to wear my glasses in case they teach us stuff today, not to look handsome…”

Jim’s Christmas play was/is today. They split the school in half, and each grade performs part of the play. There’s a dress rehearsal in the morning that we attended.

While waiting, Colin decided to catch “humbugs”. I have no idea what these are (except for that they are invisible) or where he got the idea about them. Like Dad said last night, he’s our weird one.

I took a video of his part, he goes by in a flash (blue vest, blue-gray hat, gray scarf), but I was too far away for it to be clear.

The pics of him on stage didn’t come out either.

I’ve also been on a finishing frenzy with regards to knitting. Finished mittens for me, Jim’s sweater, the Carr baby sweater, and a shawl which I’m keeping for myself. It’s medium blue which is a weird color, and I ran out of yarn before the edge could be properly finished, so it’s a little wonky. I haven’t even blocked it, but it’s been nice in the afternoons for keeping warm.

Haven’t even gotten pictures of the others yet…

In the time of Facebook, the blog gets ignored. So let’s see what’s happened in the last few weeks…

We (I) got the upstairs hall painted right before Thanksgiving. It looks great, and it’s so nice to finally have color up there. Can’t wait to get the rest of the foyer painted. Still have one vents to put back and have pictures to hang.

Dad re-configured the living room including the “media” furniture. It has more of a media center appearance, keeps all the equipment cool AND out of reach, and we still have toy storage. Overall, it is just nice.

I’ve almost Christmas shopping. Got a great deal on a Flip Ultra camera. Thought I might let Jim try it out. Here’s the first video I made:
