Moving Blog

Hubby is hosting my blog site now. We own the domain. It basically means I will be able to post videos to my blog and not have to upload to youtube for the world to see. I try to keep this as private as I can. I don't post my kids full names or mine or where we are located. I hope those of you that have followed me here will follow me on my new site.

Here is my new site materfamilias.eightfootstepshome.com

Finished the first sock

I finally finished the first sock on Monday. It's not the prettiest thing in the world, but I did finish it.

There are lots of mistakes and holes. I know I dropped stitches. I think for my first attempt I did pretty well. I started the other one Today and I almost have the cuff done.

Sock update

Well here is my progress so far. I'm still working on the first sock.

 

 

 

The sock project hit a snag. One of my children, threw away my pattern. So, I need to either improvise or go buy more yarn with the pattern on it. I was using the pattern that was on the label for the yarn.

Miss Z. Is a Rock Star in the making.

Miss Z. is going to town on the drums. I think she is going to be musically inclined. She loves music. Anytime she hears music, she will start dancing. My parents tell me not to get my hopes up. I used to tell them I was going to be a country singer. Well it didn't happen. I became a mom to 6 instead. I have a video of Miss Z. signing, but I still haven't figured out how to upload.

Wii Fit

I have to say I am really enjoying the Wii fit I received for Christmas.
At first, I thought it needed and attitude adjustment. Every time I stepped on it, it would say "0w". I thought that was just rude. When I did my first body test, my wii fit age came out to be 43 yrs. That's 10 yrs more than my actual age. Well last night I did the body test again, and I am happy to report, my wii fit age is younger than my actual age. Whoo Hoo!! and I have lost 1.3 lbs according to the wii fit. This is only day 4 of working out. I have 20 plus pounds to go, to be at a healthy weight.

The kids are enjoying it, too. It will make having PE class a lot easier this Winter.

Work in progress

I have started to knit a pair of socks.

Here is the start of the leg. This is the ribbing for the cuff.
Hopefully I will figure how to do this and complete this project.
Check back for more updates.

Happy New year.

I know I'm a little Late. We didn't make it to Midnight New years eve. I had fussy little ones. Miss Z. was recovering from an ear infection and Little J. is cutting teeth. So we called it a night around 11pm.  We did enjoy a feast of meatballs,cheese dip, and bagel pizza with brownies for dessert. Then we all rocked to the band hero. I have a video of Miss B. singing her heart out. I just haven't figured out how to post it here yet.

We have decided to change our eating habits. So far so good. I still need to set up my wii fit to get some exercise. Hubby has decided to eat meat again. I thought the kids would go nuts the other night when he ate meat, but they really didn't react that much to it.

Hope everyone has a wonderful 2010.
