A puzzling good time

I recently unearthed a big box of puzzles from under our bed. I hadn't had them out since the bigs became too big for them.

Emi and Ace thought it was the best thing ever.

I admit that I became overwhelmed with all the pieces and had a slight, ok large meltdown but we recovered and away they went putting the puzzles together.

The Elephant in the Room

This elephant is more cute than most of the "elephants" in our lives. Knitted with love for ACE from a pattern on Ravelry.*

Not familiar with ravelry you say?

I will warn you, if you already have more than enough to knit or crochet before Christmas then you may want to hold off on taking a peek.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Knit Much?

   A bit of what I've done with more to follow as the projects get completed.

One hat two heads. I knitted this for Ace but Z wanted to model it.

And another one joins team Sickie

Ace joins team sickie today. She woke up running a fever and hacking like the rest of us. She also added throwing up to the mix.

Jorry started with the tight chest feeling last night but texted me to say that he is doing well so far. He is doing zicam and tylenol cold and flu meds. He is on schedule for finishing this job he is working on and can't afford to get sick like I have been.

No fever so far for me. I did that yesterday though. No fever until about 1pm and then I had one the rest of the day and into the night.

The littles and I are going to see a nurse practitioner today.

Emi has large tonsils and I don't want her to have issues with her airway.

Z still has a cough and is probably fine but since we will be there I am going to have her lungs listened to as well.

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes!
