Mega knitting afternoon!!! Irina decided that she needed a low-key day and actually spent most of her afternoon playing by herself in her room. (We'd go to check on her and she'd tell us that she needed some "Privacy playing time"-What were we going to do? Argue with her about it? Nope! We needed the quiet time too!)

And as today was such a miserably rainy day it was perfect for planting myself on the couch with the Discovery Channel playing in the background, a blanket covering my cold toes, and my knitting in my hands. Ah, if only more afternoons could pass as pleasantly...
