Busy busy

The never ending tasks this past week were all in preparation for our camping trip to Yosemite. We're having guests stay while we were gone and we've been doing loads of deep cleaning (including renting a carpet cleaning machine) to get ready. Today is all about surface cleaning.

I've also been frantically knitting all week because of a baby shower I attended yesterday. She liked the hats and blanket I made her and it will be all worth it when I can see them on the new bundle. The baby is due around Jake's birthday. I don't think I can knit for awhile because my hands are very achy from the continuous hours of knitting I had to do to finish up on time. I will post pics later of some recent wee baby items that I have to admit are adorable.

We're leaving for the mountains Monday morning and we'll be back Saturday evening. We bought a new 4 person tent so everyone one will be comfortable and there will be no stealing of the sleeping bags by a certain dog. Also, Turnip has her own backpack this time and she is not happy about this. She will just have to deal with it. We are spending two nights in the back country, one night car camping and the last night at a motel on our way out.

I thought I had a lot more to say but I think I covered all the basics. Well I have a ton a laundry and cleaning to do before I go to work so I must get on with my "day of doom".
