Ramblings in a State of Insanity
Hop on Pop
Katie would like all of you to know that she read Hop on Pop tonight with only minimal Mommy intervention helping her sound out words.
Before I know it, she’ll be reading through all our Terry Pratchett books.

Work is killing me today so to lift my spirits (and the spirits of all) I offer the Daily Katie Rose. On another thought, I am somewhat tempted to start up a blog thread just on “stuff Katie says.” The popular one today is: PROTONS ARE CUTE! IT’S SO FLUFFY! Share:

Quick update: Katie desperately wants to start writing her highly elaborate stories. She has characters! Plots! Chapters! Only one problem…. She doesn’t know how to spell the words yet.

At Art Weekend 2010, I started working on the Knit Picks Critter Mitts T-Rex hand puppet. What better use for yarn is there but making awesome toys? Sure you can make socks and gloves and sweaters but you can also make hand puppets! The first one came out well. He has a little ridge of

Yesterday, Katie stole my brand new copy of Swashbucklers of the Seven Skies and flipped through it three times! She was very interested in the pictures.

We took Katie to the Maryland Science Center on the Inner Harbor on the diagonal on the water from the National Aquarium in Baltimore. The Maryland Science Center is a hand’s on science museum focusing on dinosaurs, general Earth Sciences, Newtonian physics, (incredible amounts of) Biology, Space Sciences in cooperation with NASA and whatever special
