Please not what we have not been doing: knitting, crocheting, or spinning. I get a few rows done everyday when they're in the bath but otherwise it's just not happening.

I was there at least once a week but since having JCC I've only been once! It was nice to revel in the silence and enjoy the color. To continue the color fest, afterwards we hit the local yarn shop. I managed to escape with only the following:
