Cutest Guy In Camo

I saw this picture the other day on Ben’s Twitter background and I asked if I could share his picture with my readers.

Turkey hunters…

camouflage boys

Oh goodness.  I’ve never seen anything cuter in camouflage.

And not the big guy on the left.

He’s married.

But the little guy on the right.

Now you all know I don’t own any camouflage.  I’ve worn borrowed camouflage twice in my life. And on our fancy dinner date nights, I pray while putting on my makeup that my husband has not selected one of his camouflage dress shirts or the skull polo shirt.  And my prayers are never answered.  It never fails.  Fancy dinner wardrobe fail.

And I say nothing.  He’s a grown man and I don’t need to lay his clothes out. And I’m not one of those bossy wives that needs to tell my husband how to dress.

Even though I want to.

Even though I think I need to.

Even though I’ve thought about hiding them.

But Little Camo Baby Ben (that’s not his real name) … he can wear all the camouflage he wants.

Have a great day all … I think I need to go clean out a closet.

Eureka Sleeping Bag

I received this sleeping bag from Eureka Tents – one for a review and also one was offered as a giveaway:

Features:

  • The 5.6 oz Rimfire poly/cotton shell fabric is tough, yet soft to the touch.
  • The 3 free-floating compression straps are specifically designed not to tear out and to keep the sleeping bag neatly rolled.
  • The Rimfire easily integrates with Eureka! sleeping bag carry duffle accessory (sold separately) via the three elastic loops at the head of the bag. (Sold Separately)
  • Shell material: 5.6 oz. Rimfire 65/35 polycotton
  • Lining material: 100% yarn-dyed cotton flannel
  • Insulation: Eureka! ThermaShield
  • Zipper: # 8
  • 3 free floating compression straps
  • Full length draft tube
  • Anti-snag webbing
  • Hang loops
  • Hook & loop zipper closure
  • Easy integration of carry duffle

Features important to me because I’m very particular about my bedding:

  • Thickness:  What is nice about the sleeping bag is the thickness.  Very nice quality.  I’ve never seen a sleeping bag as thick as this.
  • Length:  I am 5′7″ with very long legs and I had plenty of room.  No cold feet hanging out the bottom or curled up because you’re too long.
  • Warmth:  It was very warm cotton flannel.  I’m sure if I had on more flannel, I could spark a good fire if I needed to.
  • Soft:  Very soft and comfortable.  As you can see…

I spread out my sleeping bag to give it a try and look what critter took over…

Puddles

Yes, my dog immediately found his way to curl up in a ball and took a nice long nap.

I eventually found my way in and took over.

‘Cause I’m in charge around here.  No dog runs this household.

Have a great day all … I’m off to bed … my dog has sounded the soft bark alarm to let me know it’s 8:00 pm. Yes he does this.  And yes we sleep like this.  Yes he’s spoiled.  Yes he’s in charge. And yes I carry him on my hip like a 2 year old.  And yes he likes Mark best.

And yes I’ll probably have to leave the sleeping bag out for a few days for my dog to enjoy his little campout.

If you’re looking for a new sleeping bag for yourself or maybe a nice gift for someone … I would highly recommend the Eureka Sleeping Bags. Lots of different styles to choose from.
