Sock and three-quarters

Baby socks are so much fun. My DIL requested some MN Vikings socks for newest grandson's six month pictures. I finally put down the manly socks for my youngest son with huge feet in order to find a feeling of accomplishment for being able to finish a pair of socks! They'll be done today, washed, blocked and off in the mail in the morning to wing their way to Tennessee.

So that's how I spent most of my day yesterday, between fixing meals for grands, cleaning up the house and all that stuff!

We had chicken for dinner on Monday, so decided fresh rolls would be good with it. My grand daughter decided to help.

She managed to eat the small amount of dough that was supposed to be part of our dinner! It's a good thing I made too much as two of my sons made short work of half a pan of rolls! But, hot bread fresh from the oven is too good to pass up!
