Days 23 & 24 and Trampolining


I can hardly believe I've kept up this 5k for 24 days in a row.  Now I only have 7 more to complete the month.  

Today I had to take a couple minute walk about 2/3 through the run.  Yesterday, the boys and I went to an indoor trampoline park.  Have you ever been to one?  We have one that we've been to in NC, but tried one here in Grand Rapids yesterday.  Usually, I take the boys and sit on the sidelines to watch.  Well, in the spirit of this year of exercise and adventure, I got myself an hour pass too and jumped my little heart out.

Not being gymnastically inclined, there were no flips from this family, but the boys loved jumping from one trampoline to another.  I SOooooo wanted to do it, but just couldn't make myself make the leap over the edge.  I practiced jumping from one end of the trampoline to the other.  I knew I could jump that far, but my mind wouldn't let me make the leap.  Then eventually, I did it.  And there was no stopping me.  I was jumping from one end of the hall to the other.  Oh my word, it was So.  Much.  Fun!!!  I know what we'll be doing this time next week on Spring Break :0)

And proof I still knit!  Here's a Baby Surprise Jacket I whipped up for a colleague of Tommy's.  Well, the colleague's new baby.  It is so satisfying, finishing this garment and folding its odd shape into something more recognisable.  If you haven't knit one yet, do.  This is my eighth. 
I found the perfect buttons in Joann's.  And they were on a card of 5, so even better.
I knit this one in some Debbie Bliss Cotton Cashmere that's been in my stash for years.  The cotton was not bliss to knit (compared to wool, that is), but after blocking was lovely and soft and sheeny.

Now, I have the ninth to knit.  This time in Socks That Rock Heavyweight.  Now that's real Bliss!
Happy Friday
