All I had to do was send in my email, but I won a hank of yarn from Midnightsky Fibers. We’ve done a giveaway with them before, she has all natural yarns dyed with all natural dyes.
Well, I won a 55 yard hank of cream coloured wool yarn.

Well, it’s past party time. We had the boys party today, it was fun! Not too many kids showed up – we have some kick ass, non-candy treats to give away for halloween as we made up 30 goodie boxes, and gave away like 9. They had a blast! I am converting the photos to be uploaded now, so by the time I get to the end of the post, they might be ready, yay!
The kids played on the swingset for an hour or so, and then we had cupcakes. Then they played some more, then is started to pour, so we came in and watched maybe 15 minutes of Jack before it stopped and the ground dried enough to let them back out. Then we went out and did both pinatas, then played some more and around then most of the kids went home.
One of the little boys older sisters is friends with Sara (this was a surprise) so she stayed and hung out too. I think it went well. The kids all seemed to have fun, they loved wearing their costumes, it was a hit! I just with more parents had RSVP’d. Oh well! Maybe next year.
Once all was said and done, I told Sara all the cupcakes had to go. We got in a cupcake fight. I have black food colouring on my back. I had cake in my hair, on my face and on my arm. It’s ok. She had it on her face, in her hair and down her front. Yep, we’re fun.
They got some toys and some cash, so we went to Target. Mal picked out Sorry! Sliders, Dor picked out some Star Wars game/trading cards and a toy of some sort, I got Eshiva Hungry Hungry Hippos, and I got Wold Monopoly.

This is the swing set we bought the kids. I think we’re putting it together this weekend. We got it from BJs for 999.99 (not the 1599 that it’s listing for).
For those of you who are link-inhibited:

The Allegany has an oversized raised fort with wood roof, end gables and windows. There’s a 12 sq ft sun porch up there too! Climb up to the fort using the standard ladder or the solid rock wall. Sail down on the super speedy wave slide. Two belt swings and a trapeze bar provide hours of fun swinging and hanging. Under the fort there’s a lower deck with picnic table.
Features
* Oversized raised wooden fort with railings, roof, gables, and windows
* Raised sun porch
* Super speedy wave slide
* Lower deck with picnic table
* Solid rock wall ladder and standard ladder
* 2 belt swings and a trapeze bar
I am totally excited about this, we’ll be having a real, kids invited, birthday party next month and we can do it outside and still keep them occupied!! Um, the kids are excited too 
We’re going to pick up a net-swing (it looks like a hammock folded in half) to do some home-based therapy with Mal, and the kids will have fun in it too. I think we’re ditching the trapeze bar for the net swing.
