So, momma got a hammock for Mother's Day! Which means that Daddy got a hammock for Mother's Day! After poring over which hammock to buy (do I buy a brazilian? nicaraguan? mayan? **gulp** american rope? cotton? polyester? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!), I finally pulled the trigger on this Nicaraguan number.
I got the whole thing online (stand and all). I was a little nervous, but when it came, it all looked good. Then I went to the hardware store to get the lumber for the stand. After realizing how big a 10 foot treated 4 by 4 is, I started wondering again what I was getting into. This stand is 6 foot tall, 10 feet long, and is supported by two 4 foot legs as a base. It is ... gigundous. But it is glorious once you get in.
I left Sarah to take a nap as I went to get Henry from his. When I returned 20 minutes later, she was completely enveloped in it, cocoon style. Henry had absolutely no idea where she was, and she was in Thornburg sleep mode (if you don't know what that is, thank your lucky stars).
So I'm counting this in the "finally got her the right gift" pile.

Happy Mother's Day, mommy!
Mother's Day went off without too much collateral damage. There were reports of two toddlers running laps around Confluence Park in Downtown Columbus, but the authorities came up empty when they got to the scene. There was also some underage bike riding (isn't 22 months too young?) and a growling lion sighted (he's showing his teeth in this picture).
All in all, though ... another weekend successfully tamed!
