As the luck turns....

After a summer of downfalls, I have finally had some good luck. Or should I say great luck. (Well I probably just jinxed myself.) I took my MIL to a slot tournament at Mohegan Sun Casino and ended up winning a jackpot on a dollar slot machine. SWEET!! I got 1000 bucks and I put it right in the bank!!
Than Friday I won a blog contest over at Vera's crafty blog. I had the answer to her The Flight of the Conchords trivia question. I am getting some sock yarn from her stash. Oh this is going to be good. Sock yarn is the best prize!!
I am also getting more sock yarn from the Yarn Pirate! (Go give her some baby love) I just found out that I won a contest on her blog too! This would be the second time I have won a contest on her blog!! I guess what her neighbors (she calls them the yard parkers) had just recently add to the collection of junk on their yard. It was a big flip flop for Mike's hard lemonade!! Honestly the next time she has a contest you have to enter. (I might even let you win!!) It has to be one of my favorite yarns from an Indie dyer. I got my first skein long ago and haven't looked back since. Her merino/tencel yarn is awesome. At least I don't have to use my $25 frequent buyer credit at The Loopy Ewe to get some more!! Again-- Awesome. More yarn!!
Now for pictures...

In Lake George we went swimming...


We stopped at Santa's Workshop and had to take our pictures in all of this photo things. There were like 4.

Even Daughter Dos got in on the action!!

We also went to The Magic Forest. (sorry I can't find a link) Can you see Daughter Uno sitting on the foot. This guy was huge. I want to say he was 365 feet. I could be wrong.

The last 2 are just random...


Have a great Labor Day!!

You are quite the lucky duck aren't you. :) I cannot wait to see what my YP prize will be. I love all her colourways so I am sure I will love whatever she sends.

Your girls are darling!
