Quiet. Too quiet...

This house is far too quiet today and I'm not sure I like it. Mondays are usually hectic, with two kids at school and two at home. However, my oldest three children are away for 3 weeks of the summer holidays with their dad - so its just me, the other half and the mini-one. Too quiet, but it has its upsides.

Like the ability to lie in bed until 11am on a Monday morning.

Like having your dear MIL (I'm serious, she's a dream) call to say she's on her way over and do we want a MacDonald's while she's passing? Hmmmm. Pregnant - Mac'D's for breakfast? Hell yes!

The peace and quiet has also allowed me to get on with the current knitting project - my daughter's vest/dress. I've completed 1.5 cable repeats since yesterday afternoon and admit that I'm thoroughly enjoying the pattern. The yarn is lovely to work with, very silky feeling (its a bamboo/cotton blend), so it feels like its flying along.
