Doug took the boys on a Father-Son camp-out last weekend with Papa Larry. They "roughed it" in the camper with movies and games. Sterling and Hylton had a marvelous time eating junk food and throwing rocks in the creek. Meanwhile, Evie, my mom, and I went out to eat, shopped at Craft Warehouse, made bracelets for Evie, went to bed early, and then went antiquing and to the farmer's market the next morning and then came home and had a nap! I kinda think we get the better end of the deal here, being able to sleep in our own beds at night, but whatever.
Honestly, I don't get much sleep when Doug is gone; it is just weird knowing that he is missing from the other half of the bed. I guess I miss waking up with an elbow in my eyeball (which I usually complain about, with good reason, I think- go figure). And apparently, Doug and Larry discussed this exact thing when they were camping and concluded that they sleep much better without their respective (ahem) better halves!
Rude.
Hylton, roasting hot-dogs, 'baby do!'
Probably freezing their little booties off!
Sterling, Doug, Hylton, Papa Larry
Even a trip through the car-wash couldn't wake up this tired little guy and his "Shoe-shows" (Crusoes).
Getting all cleaned up in a big-boy shower and sportin' Evie's princess goggles.
The next day, Sterling ripped out his loose bottom tooth at church. I was pretty surprised since he is kind of a baby about pain, and it is certain that I never had the guts to tie mine with a string to the door, or just rip it out like he did, so I was also pretty proud of him. The Tooth Fairy left him some money and her business card under his pillow. You know... for future business and referrals and the like...
So to commemorate we took pictures of everyone, which we rarely remember to do. Here is Hylton with his nursery coloring page. He is an imp.
Daddy and Evie and Bun-Bun (whom you can't see, but he is there... he is always there...).
Mommy, 15-weeks baby bump, and Evie with Bun-Bun, of course.

They were such "big boys" on the camping trip doing things on their own and checking everything out! Hylton didn't like the hot fire, so he wouldn't watch his hotdog while roasting it.
Finally, a post that's not about the house...oh, wait, you already said that. I forget that your pregnant. You are one tough mamma! I don't know if I have it in me to go for a fourth...good luck!
Was this suppose to make me sad that I haven't seen you since you were like 9 wks pregnant- I think it was the beach! Anyway, I miss you and you all look beautiful! The kids could not be any cuter, and the boys look so much alike! Miss ya!
