SO! Our Uncle Wally gave Braxton a tent for his birthday. Well, mom had this GREAT idea to have a campout in the living room. Braxton has been begging to do this all week and we've had things come up that haven't allowed us to do it 'til now. The night before, we watched the movie 'Despicable Me' on the laptop in the tent. Let's just say, I've been dated! The ground is hard, and I'm exhausted! Braxton thought it was pretty cool, but next time I think we'll include an air mattress and ear plugs. I had put a blanket under us to muffle the noise but by wee early hours, Braxton had managed to wiggle it out from under him. Every time he moved, it made this wonderful crackling sound that woke me up. When he woke up this morning, he asked why my pillow was outside the tent...that I was laying on. I thought it was funny he didn't ask why I was outside the tent. Needless to say, both of us had a very wrestless night. Even though I didn't get much sleep, Braxton was SO excited to have a campout with me. I'm so grateful to have the opportunities I do with my kids. They are my world and it makes the little sacrifices so worth the time that I get to spend with them. I'm going to blink and they'll be grown and off doing their own thing...or maybe think mom isn't so cool anymore...so I'm going cherish what I have with them now.

You are such a good mom! I'm with you I am way too old to sleep on the floor. Your kids are soo cute!
Fun times! I do miss these type of moments with my kids! The snow day was a fun one too. I just have to tell you though that I thought of you this mroning when I looked at the mail from yesterday. Nalleys pickles on sale at Maceys, a 75 cent off coupon for them in the coupons that came in the mail with teh flyers. Maceys will combine the coupons. I'll be smiling when I buy my pickles this week bz I'll be thinking of you and James' new addiction to them. We saw a foot chase yesterday by Juniper TakeOut (Brianna and me) and I thought of you again. Maybe when the new chapel's finished they'll realign the wards again and we'll get lucky enough to be in your ward again!
Glad you're back to bloggin'!! The kids are adorable I love getting to hear what they're up to and can't wait to see you guys again this summer! :0)
I'm glad to see you've updated. I've looked almost daily for about a year to see if you had:) Your little girly is a sweetheart. What an adorable creature. Fun! As for tent, I would do the same, but now we have a HUGE one and it wouldn't fit in the house. Too bad. I'm all tore up about that one!
