Monday Mosaic: October 21 – 23

After a Friday of Monkeyboy Junior Jr. whining, he finally collapsed in front of the computer…

… and we snuck out for date night.

Which consisted of Mongolian grill…

… and quiet shopping. At Costco (for my hubby), and Michael’s (for me), and Chapter’s (for us both). Now, here’s an odd little something I found in my puttering.

Vampire Knits?!?! Um… okay…

I spent Saturday morning knitting (in a very non-vampire way, I might add) and trying to relax… because I spent the afternoon getting prepared for my first crown.

While watching The Wolf Man (1941) was somewhat distracting during the procedure, two days later and I still feel like I got punched in the face. Hard. Blech.

But I came home to find this, and that made it a little better.

His wee hands look so much like my own…

That night, my husband went off to do a show and I hung out with the boys. They were pretty darn cute playing and reading just before bed.

On Sunday, I woke up grumpy. I pretty much kept to myself for the morning, and was grateful that the boys decided to put up the Halloween decorations without me. That put me in a better mood.

That afternoon, Daddy took Monkeyboy Junior out on a “boys date” to see some movie about boxing robots and have dinner. Monkeyboy Junior Jr. and I puttered in the back yard.

I decided to harvest a few more veggies – beets, chard, and carrots this time.

Though the carrots, as you can see, were a little disappointing. I’m still not sure whether it was the weather, aphids, or just the different variety of seeds I got this year. *le sigh*

I tried to cheer myself up with the last of the lavender…

… and apologized for disrupting all the poor little ladybugs hiding in the leaves.

Then the littlest and I shared some Vietnamese bun for dinner and called it a night. Put it all together, and it looks kind of like this…

Hope your weekend was more enjoyable than a crown at the dentist! 😉
