Motherhood and knitting...."Mom could you stop for just a minute"

Well as I am sitting comfortably knitting and watching our family Halloween movie marathon,10 movies all picked out by my beautiful 8 yr old daughter. My hands busy with the sleeve to a NEW shrug I started that day, my dear sweet and just a little scared daughter moves in to cuddle up and..... Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......gets poked by a quickly moving dp size 8. "MOM!!!!! Can't you stop for just a little while." I'm very torn, my daughter has been wounded (I really do feel bad...really) but I am pleased to say I did not lose in stitches. I really did not want to stop I was getting so close to the end but I did, (sigh) and made the obligatory kiss on the boo boo, "I am so sorry, will you be alright" ect... I got back to it as soon as Dad sat back down and I gently moved her over to him...insert evil laugh here.

Has a nice Halloween, spent all day at school with dear sweet daughter, I even dressed up. We were up at 6am for make-up and hair, out the door by 7:45. Trick or treating went as well as it could we were back home by 7pm with a bag so full she could barely carry it. I was exhausted, but not so much I couldn't but a few more rows into the 2nd sleeve of said shrug. Will post pics when done, it goes with my Mudflap girl tank. Can't wait.
