Hilarious card and Fawkes socks

Today is Nick's 34th birthday, we let him sleep in since he worked until 1:30am. When we got back to the house, the kids woke him up screaming happy birthday, poor daddy wasn't ready to wake up yet. He is napping again, but in the meantime he opened the card from my parents. It was hilarious. Here is the front and the inside.




I'll post some pictures of the birthday boy when he wakes up.

I got this yarn last week and had it wound up at Barb's house by her wonderful husband Ted. The yarn is Socks that Rock in lightweight, Spring Fling colorway. I had bought the yarn for the Monkey socks from Cookie A., but had a spur of the moment change and decided to make Fawkes. I didn't have the appropriate colored yarn for this project, but I really like the stitch pattern so what the heck. I'm sure they will look good even if they aren't bright orange and red.




And oh yes, we did go out and see the Order of the Phoenix. I loved it, Nick not as much. We are getting the book delivered today, should be on the UPS truck on its way to my house as we speak. It is going to my dad though, I bought it for him for Father's Day. I need the Audiobooks or it won't get read. I have book 4 on request at the library on CD. I'll probably get book 5 on audio when I'm done with book 4. I'm a quick listener, but slow reader due to the muchkins. Maybe that will change when both are in school in August.
