Sleep

We need new sheets. Our fitted sheet ripped in the wash. I can't believe that happened, it must have really been rip-roaring in the machine that day. Anyway, I stumbled upon this amazing bedding from cb2. The best part? They are called the "Theo" bedding. What could be better than pretty bedding named after the family poodle?


love.

Cumin

It all started with cumin. The spice. Peanut has discovered the little cabinet nook where I (used to) keep my spices. As we were getting ready for another blockbuster family camping trip at Redfish, Wyatt appeared in the bathroom doorway where I was getting ready holding the little red plastic top to the large bottle of cumin. First instinct is to find where this extremely smelly spice has been poured all over the floor, assuming it is on the wood floor, which comprises 90% of our house. Of course, the cumin has found its way onto the rug in Peanut's room. Let's just say that stuff burns your nose in large quantities. Luckily we were on our way out of town for the night....
Just when I thought we had encountered the worst of the day. Peanut decided he didn't want to be on the boat, he didn't want to be camping, eating, playing, sitting there, basically doing anything. The poor kid was a wreck. We somehow managed a really fun hour at the Redfish Lake Lodge for some bluegrass music and dinner, but it was quickly followed by a meltdown on the boat that lasted, well until we left the next morning. We were up with him 5 (FIVE) times in one night, and he slept in my armpit. That was the only way he was going to have it. No happy pack-and-play night for him. Of course he is blissfully happy today, but I am ready for bed and not going camping again until next summer. Unless I sleep in my own tent.

Also, Wyatt was baptized last weekend at church. This is one of the few pictures we have and it was taken in the Crying Room. Yes, that was another day of my 1-year-old-is-acting-like-a-two-year-old. He sure can be a little pistol.

Camping

We camped at the absolutely gorgeous Redfish Lake on Sunday night. They have live bluegrass music on the lawn in front of the lodge, and afterward we boated over to our secluded camping spot under the towering Sawtooth Mountains. The weather was sometimes violent, mostly beautiful - and we had a great time.
Can you spot Wyatt clapping to the not-so-great opening singer? He was the only guy in the crowd clapping, trust me. He is a big clapper.

Peanut LOVES sticking his head out to the side of the boat and getting some air. If he's not doing that he's crying because he hates wearing his life jacket.
