It's been a busy week: reports due at work, stats midterm on Monday, and a guest lecture in my advisor's class today. I was nervous nervous nervous about speaking to her class with her there, but I think it went fine.
Brief thoughts for you: A person who says that socks are the scourge of her existence should really stop complaining about her life because socks are pretty low on the scourge-y scale. But can we have a moment of silence here at the very end of sandal season? I hate socks.
I told my oldest son he would need to use some of his own money to replace the socks he destroyed deliberately. He asked if he could knit some instead. He wants to borrow my needles. How's that for frugal? I haven't told him how much sock yarn costs.
Here are the Gladly boys building with their K'nex. I have so few pictures of the four of them together that even though this isn't a great one, I'm posting it anyway.
I can't stand socks either. I wear my sandals about 10 months of the year! I wish my kids could.

CJ, I thought of you yesterday when I was pulling the 407 individual, not-even-one-matched-pair pile of socks out of the dryer, and wondered again why God could not have just given us all really hairy feet.

ugh- pnut needs new, bigger socks for the season. it annoys me.
love the shot w/ the knex- my husband's favorite as a boy! we got them for our nephews last Christmas and they were a big hit.
laughing (gently) at the perimeter of kid-stuff around the room- what is that? my living room (main area of the house) is just a giant pile of her stuff now...whatever happened to my goal of "less is more" and "sustainable toys" etc. etc.? sigh, and a smile.
