Jo Knits!

Well.... we're off

We are off for another week of traveling, we are leaving in less than 2 hours for a lovely 6 hour ride in the truck. Lac St-Jean is known as the party part of our whole province, I am curious to see how our evenings will end in the hotel. Also people usually have strong accents in that area, most will probably not talk english. It'll be funny to see non-french workers try to get understood in the area. All I know is that this area is gorgeous and I can't wait to be there. :)

Lucky as can be I bought more DenimStyle yarn last night and it was on sale a dollar less than the original price. I will start on a new bucket hat for Zoe or whomever ends up with it. All I know is I need to knit in the truck to pass some time. As usual I don't really care who I knit for as far as I keep my hands hands busy.

Over the weekend, we went to a huge garage sale event that was spread over 4 streets. We bought a boatload of Disney movies.... well 17 new movies for the kids to entertain themself. LOL! Many are the older classics that I love also, best thing of all, they are all englsih movies. I like that the kids watch english shows and movies, I forget to talk english aroun them but hopefully they will still pick up english. I also splurged on myself and got two new pairs of pants, they are the hiking kind and so comfy. We spend most of our days on our knees counting so comfy pants and shoes are a definite must.

Also we received a huge stack of used clothes from our neighbor, 6 big full bags with like new clothing for Lucas, though many things fit Zoe also. Ever since the kids were born we have been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of many clothes donations. We don't buy new clothes much because of all the one we receive. I do splurge for celebrations as I love to see the kids all dressed up. :)

Last thing, I LOVE my job! Have I said it often enough? I do though, the hours we travel are hard but I enjoy the time away so much too. Carl and I get to live as a couple on work days and as a family when we go home. I think it has brought us together and has given us a chance to live as "kids" again. Still I do call the kids every night as I couldn't live without my daily I love you's from them. ;)

So that's me for now. Have a lovely week! :)
