strolling around Stony Brook..

just one of the kids.

I think my favorite part of watching these kids (aside from all of the cute shots i snap) is that whenever they introduce me to one of their friends or neighbors, they say "She's not just our babysitter, she's like our family."

Did i ever mention how much i love these babies? :o)

down the rabbit hole

The other day we rescued a bunny that we found in the pool filter.
He was either hiding from the dog, or mistook the hole for it's home.

slippers

I completed my first pair of, what apparently EVERYONE refers to as, "grandma's slippers"
And I've also been warned by my mother (and grandmother alike) NOT to walk down any stairs with them, or else my next step will be into the emergency room.. for they live up to their given name- slippers..

I'm really proud of them, they are totally cozy and I love the color. And I totally "MacGyver"ed some pom-poms by hand, since I had no pom-pom maker, and couldn't find a good tutorial on how to fashion some up.
