Or when Brian is away – here is a random collection of things the mice got up to.

Comparing brands of eggs.

Accessorizing the mixer. Still don't know which of my daughters did this.

Ate a strawberry candy.

Went to the Chicago Botanic Garden orchid show.

Went to the pet store to buy fish supplies… not a white rabbit.

Since it's March in the Midwest we've had some cold days and some warm days. 

On one of the warm days Claire washed her bike.

Started sewing a velveteen dress.

Put something green on the windowsill while it's still brown outside.

Tried to figure out a new knitting technique.

Bea may have accidentally broken the glass panel on our back storm door. And then replacing the window turned into a full on refurbishment of the whole door. Projects get out of control and the basement is covered in dust. Uhg.

Since I finished knitting my sweater I treated myself to some new yarn for a new sweater. Here's the color inspiration.

Here's the new yarn – eeek! So excited!

Got some nice packaging in the mail.

And watched some Jeopardy.
