A day away from home

Matt had the day off on Friday so we decided to go to Asheville to check on the progress of the spec home we are building there and to hang around town for a little while to people watch. Some friends of ours, Pierre and Mia, were going up to see their home too so we all met at Well-Bred Bakery in Weaverville. Everything in there was dangerous to a fluffy post baby mama so I decided to split a cookie with my oldest. After we all finished filling our bellies we headed off to see the progress of our house, it is coming along very nicely and should be stunning when finished. Now comes the many decisions of finishing up the inside of it and that is where my work starts.

After seeing the houses we headed to town and I stopped off at a little yarn shop the mama from Crankypants told me about called Purls. It was such a neat little store but unfortunately my oldest was really needing a nap and since I had the youngest already sleeping in a sling I bought 3 skeins and had to leave. Next time I will bring some help with me into the store so that I can browse for a little longer. Now if my knitting were just going better I would be going to town on it but I don't want to waste the yarn so I will probably send it to another mama to knit a pair of shorties for my youngest.

That is all for now, I am off to do my profile and play with the site a little bit.
