See the kid? They love to play hide and seek when their daddy gets home in the evenings. But this wasn't during the game, this was while I was making dinner...
A better view.
Not sure why this picture came out so fussy on their faces. :(

According to Jude...
Since Jude now has a few words he can say, I have a new series of posts to begin. Instead of "Jude-isms", we are going with "According to Jude". He's so different from Riley, so he needs his own series of cute sayings.
The other day, I was flossing my teeth when Jude came in (probably to ransack the hair accessories drawer as he loves to do). He looked at me quizzically so I told him that I was flossing. He looked down at the ground, shook his head, and said "Gross." I almost choked on the floss because I laughed so hard. He only has a few words he can say, but he definitely got that one out loud and clear.

Cabin Camping
Last weekend we went camping. Sort of. We rented two cabins on White Rock Mountain which happens to be close to everything if you are a bird, but a million miles away if you are bipedal and use a car for transportation. I left my camera at home, so I got NO pictures. Sad face. But maybe I can talk Kari Penturf into sending me couple of pictures she snapped while we were there.
We went with the Smith family, Penturf family, and Alex. Calah couldn't join us because her dad just came back from his tour in Afghanistan. Again, sad face.
It was colder than we hoped for and it got even colder and windier, but we still had a great time. The cabins were part stone, part wooden. The wood burning fireplaces were amazing at putting out great heat for the cabins. Rustic is the best word to describe them. All the kids' socks were blackened with dirt and grime, but they had a great time getting that way. And with every outing, I am learning that Jude not only loves to get dirty, he has a great ability to find any and all dirt and fully immerse himself in it.
My favorite part of the weekend happened at meal times. We ate inside because it was chilly outside, and super windy. But each cabin had beautiful wooden tables complete with old chairs and benches. These tables were placed right in front of the fire place in the middle of the living area. So our meal times were full of great company with friends, lots of the cutest and sweetest conversations, a cozy warm room, and amazing food. There is nothing better than being surrounded by these things on any weekend, especially camping ones! Smiths, Penturfs, and Alex (hopefully Calah next time) we can't wait to do it again!
