With four kids under the age of five it's not likely we can take a real camping trip just yet. So we did the next best thing and camped at home. Last week we set up a tent in our living room which the kids played in ALL day long and Lilly and Bobby actually slept in each night. Then over the weekend we set up another tent in our backyard. After putting the two babies to bed we made a campfire and roasted marshmallows. The older two had so much fun with this. Then the plan was for Michael to sleep in the tent with Lilly and Bobby. At bedtime Bobby changed his mind so just Michael, Lilly, and the dog ended up camping. But a very good time was had by all. It was also fun to do something with the older two and being able to give them my full attention with the little ones out of the way. The kids are already asking when will it be the weekend again so we can put the tent up again!
First night camping in our living room. They are passed out!
One of the nights my nephew Barrett slept over. He joined the gang playing in the tent too.

Getting ready for bed
My sweet boy. He hardly ever wants to take pics with me anymore. Caught him at a rare moment.
Hanging out before I went inside and slept in my nice comfy bed. Hey someone had to stay in the house in case one of the babies woke up in the middle of the night right?
Since Bobby was in rare form that night I tried to get as many pics of him as I could
Lilly and George
On a random note: If you have visited my house you know I have a wall with pics of each baby at around 4 to 5months old. I just picked up Loralee's and have added it to the collection. Now my wall is complete :)
