zip zip zip...it's done!

Yeah!!! I made my goal for the week...earlier I had finished knitting another hat for my Mom. I love her dearly and I know she is wearing the first knitted hat I made her often...so, now she has two...but, they are basically the same hat...just different yarn....so, Lori and I went to Joann's last week...and I found a pattern for a "fleece hat".

It looked like a really easy pattern...and it was. I cut it out and zip zip zip...it's done! I want Mom to try it on to make sure it fits before I make the other one...it's black fleece. Oh, um...yeah...the boys were asleep...so, there was no one to model the hat except for the two wine bottles. Did I mention that I took Neil, Jordan and 3 of Jordan's friends to see the Percy Jackson & the Olympians --- The Lightening Thief? Let's just say, it was a good thing that I bought the tickets yesterday because one kid showed up to our house 20 minutes late. We were lucky to get seats...as it was, we sat in the 4th row.

The movie? Well, it was a good movie....but, it didn't stick well to the books like the Harry Potter series. Some details were from later books, lots of details were left out...Jordan brought up a good point...if they left out some REALLY important pieces, does that mean there WILL NOT be other movies based on the later books?

Oh well...go see the movie and let me know what you think...especially if you read the books.

BTW: I try to read the "boys' books" before we go see the movie....but, there is one book I DON'T think I will read....and maybe Uncle Gary can take them to the movie....the book/movie? The Wimpy Kid series....the first movie is out in the Spring...oh joy! (not!!!)
