We went on a little get out of town vacation this weekend. It was fun. We all went to the lake on Saturday with my mom and dad. Peanut had fun swimming in the "big pool". We tried to explain to her that it was a lake, but she wasn't buying it. She is really rigid in the words she uses. There isn't much room for subtle differences. A car is still a truck and grapes are still beads. We call them by their correct name, but she almost seems to try to correct us.
On Sunday, Mr. T and I ditched peanut and went to Branson to shop. We bought a comforter for Peanuts new big girl bed for 15 dollars. It isn't great, and it isn't pretty, but it will work. I never realized how expensive bedding was. I have a hard time spending too much money on it knowing that she is going to be peeing on it. Originally, I thought I would buy a down comforter, but... (see the previous sentence). We did get some stuff on sale, but they sales weren't as good as I thought they would be. I guess it was pretty picked over. We did get her some striped pink Osh Kosh overalls. They didn't have any corduroy, which is what I was looking for.
We finally got peanut's cool new back pack in the mail Saturday (and an extra foot for me, have you noticed my feet and legs are in a lot of pictures? It isn't a fetish. I swear.). It was hard to find a backpack that was plain and made for a toddler. We love the one we got. She calls it her "doggie backpack". She puts her baby in it and carries him around. When we took these pictures she was mad because I shoved baby down into the backpack, and she wanted to play with him.
We put "Peanut" on the back pack because I didn't want strange people knowing her name. It is funny though because we never really call her peanut at home. She has no idea that she is peanut. She thinks her name is baby.

Love the matching mother/ daughter bathers! I hope Dad's budgie smugglers also came to the party.
We have always been a very stylish family, you know.
Clearly Aunty A is one of the Oz crowd as we Yanks call them swimsuits. I have no idea what a budgie smuggler is other than someone who tries to carry parakeets across international borders without a permit--possibly hiding them in their pants--which doesn't sound so stylish to me.
Great photos those. And what a happy day!

Good pictures! Looks like fun was had all around :)
Budgie smugglers: items of men's swimwear which, in the right circumstances, could indeed give the impression that one was trying to conceal a small item of wildlife in one's underpants.
Dead stylish, and very popular at Bondi.
