Lesson 1: Letting the 4 year old and his best friend play dumper trucks with Lego results in aproximately 30 minutes of peace...and 45 minutes of picking up all the piece(s).
Lesson 2: Letting the same four year old help dye wool with Koolaid for spinning results in a skein that reminds me of the scene in Hitchhiker's Guide when Martin Freeman is turned into a knitted version of himself by the Improbability Drive and is subsequently sick. So, yes. I spun yarn vomit.
Lesson 3: Sometimes beauty is found in unlikely places. Like the dripping tap and the the sink of dishwater.

Have a great weekend. Just a warning: next week is going to be FULL. OF. CROCHET. Sorry if you hate crochet.
