That right there is how to ‘teeter totter’ (which is what I always called a see saw when I was a kid)… when you have 3 children. The little girl and the middle guy weigh just a tad more than the big girl, but it works pretty well ..
The weather is typical of the northeast for spring… we go from gorgeous sunny days, to rain and/or cold ones.. but this is much more of a Spring to us than it was when we were living in NC. There you get 70 for maybe a week, which was usually rainy, and then… 80’s followed soon with humidity… oh the fun!
I’m definitely enjoying this weather. What it means for my blogging though is.. on those gorgeous days, we’re outside, shooting hoops, hula hooping, catching bugs, hunting fairies, maybe if I’m lucky I get to sit and knit in my camp chair… but… lately it’s been more like… games of Dinner with the wolf (I think that’s what it’s called, it’s sort of a red light green light thing that ends in a chase/game of tag)… and soccer…
I’ll probably only be intermittently posting here in the next few weeks.. dependent on the weather… actually saying that is even a tad premature as we’re expecting rain for the next several days… and then cooler temps again early next week… but you never know.. my kiddos are all about saving the worms from their suicide drownings in our puddle at the bottom of the driveway… I’m sure you can picture it.. all three in their rain coats and boots, and me holding the umbrella while they sift the wiggly little buggers out of the puddle..
oh the fun! (I totally am serious) 
I have been knitting though.. I’m working on a Knitty submission… sorry, that’s about all I can say here, and I’m working on a Q2 challenge knitting project (an afghan) for one of my kiddos for Christmas next year. I need to take photos of the squares I’ve knit so far… (not nearly enough of them… )

Cute!! Seesaw is what we called it…
Can’t wait to see your next Knitty accepted design. Before long, I’ll be seeing your name in yarn stores all over the country!

I haven’t seen a teeter totter like that in ages. I loved them as a kid…. though it hurts like you wouldn’t believe when the person on the other side jumps off suddenly, dropping you like a stone, onto feet curled under the seat. Ouch!
We always called that game “What time is it Mr. Wolf?”, though your title works well too :).

The boy child discovered recently that if he bounces down really hard on the see saw, his little sister will go flying. *sigh* Little stink.

Love the see-saw pic!

That’s a great photo.
We called it “What Time is it Mr. Wolf?” but Dinner with the wolf works too because at the end he yells DINNER TIME! LOL we used to get so picky about kids taking ittybitty steps… sooo cheating! LOL
Break a needle (knitter’s version of break a leg) — for the Knitty design!

Cute photo, I always thought it was a see saw too!
Believe it or not, we’ve actually had a “Spring” so far this year! Usually it does go from cold to scorching hot but for some reason we’ve had plenty of nice 70’s days. And plenty of wind & thunderstorms… can’t have it all I suppose!
