Unfortunately, he started to outgrow it and after he wiggled himself out onto the grass, I decided he needed something a little bigger. It works pretty well and was really easy to put together with a 1x2" and some unbleached muslin from the stash.

Hanging Around
Peter's mat made a nice swing when attached to the patio awning or a limb of our cherry tree.

How does he know?
How does he know?
How does he know that I stayed up way too late last night cleaning for the visit of a friend I haven't seen in two years?
How does he know that wacky hormones make it hard to fall asleep when I finally lie down?
How does he know that today is a day that I would really like to have had as much sleep as those things allow?
How does he know that I will be a little crazy trying to figure out if there is actually anything wrong when he is up for the 5th time in three hours?
How does he know that the cheerful banging and shouting of his sister will make me want to scream and hide in a quiet cave for the day?
And why, why, WHY does he think that time with me is so much more desirable than sleep between 3 and 6 am?
Peter, my lad, it ISN'T.

Doing the Puyallup, Spring Edition
I took the kids and met Jonathan's parents at the Puyallup spring fair this year--a first for us. It is smaller and less crowded but that was all to the good as far as being able to enjoy ourselves without pushing past so many people.
Ellie knows all about stomping on this kind of keyboard from going to the children's museum.
Peter all cozied up to try for a snooze as we walked around:
She followed the goats around the petting pen and tried to touch each one.
And I got to have a bit of fun too.
Getting ready to go:

Summer Snow
We stopped at Snoqualmie on our way back from Spokane to stretch our legs. It was deliciously cool over the snow.
Transplanting
We have moved some of our favorite plants from the old house to the new. Jonathan had some help with transplanting the rosemary.
