Classy Lassy and Artsy

... The names of the scarves I made yesterday and today. I need a better name for the "artsy" one but what are you going to do? I named it that because it is kind of "artsy" in nature - lots of different textures in it; there are thick and thin yarns, fuzzy and not fuzzy, wool and blends. I think it came out neat.

Classy Lassy is about 4 1/2 " wide and 5' long; Artsy is 5 1/2" wide and just over 6' long.

It has been so humid here - not hot, but the humidity makes it miserable. We spent most of the weekend trying to stay cool and not stick to everything - I left a receipt on the counter and with the humidity, when I pulled it off, it left behind a layer of paper, almost as if I'd glued it on. Blech.

The kids go back to school on September 7th. Betsy has Mrs. D, who was Brendan's teacher last year - we are all very excited about that! She's a wonderful lady! Brendan has a new (to third grade) teacher who I know Mrs. D was trying to get for him, so we're hopeful that third grade will be another good year. Andrew is working on some of his letters (at home) and writes a very neat A now. Justin is acting interested so I need to decide whether to include him in the lessons or come up with some just for him. He's eating much, much better these days, but we're definitely seeing some of the terrible three's (which, IMO are worse than the two's) - he's still our sweet Justin a lot of the time, but when he's bad - oh, he is BAD.

Sending all you who are reading my blog a cheery "thank you!"
