Little D. learned a lesson this weekend about hats. He learned the 'why' of hats, let's say. It turns out that they are especially important in the mountains and to people with no hair and nice, soft ears. I did manage to snap one pic of the boys in their matching hats. I love my boys.
LEAF was awesome... great group, great music, and our campsite was like a living room, complete with a plastic oriental rug, purple glider, end tables with candles and lanterns, teapot on the stove, and about seven coolers full of goodies... We had lots of reasons to celebrate-- three engagements, a baby on the way, and a 30th birthday! LEAFing with baby is a bit trickier than I thought it might be. I didn't get to see as much music as I would have liked to between managing naptime, feedings, and keeping baby warm enough. He rocked out to Cowboy Junkies on Friday night, and Soul Feather (New Orleans Indians in full regalia with horns and everything) on Saturday. Daddy tucked baby in bed on Saturday night so mama could go dance to Zap Mama. I thought he would sleep in the wagon at the main stage (haha!) The weather was kinda rough-- rain on Friday and winds on Saturday-- but on Sunday the sun came out. Baby could crawl in the grass again! Without mittens! All our friends were wonderful helpers with the wee one. On Saturday night, six of us piled in the camper and sang an endless chorus of "Twinkle, twinkle" until he nodded off to dreamland. The verdict: Spring LEAF, here we come!
On Monday, a new toy arrived in the mail... A surprise from Aunt Carol in Florida-- Baby's First Chainsaw! She designed and crocheted him a chainsaw "stuffed animal." I'm not sure if it is a Husqvarna or a Stihl, but he loves it! All he needs is a Carolina Tree Care t-shirt, and he can be daddy for Halloween!
