What Time Is It?

It is SUMMER!  When the girls and I got home last night we jumped on the trampoline for a bit and then I thought to myself, "What the heck, go for it!", so I asked the girls if they wanted to camp in the backyard.  Kate goes, "Are you for real?"  I said, "Yes!"  She said, "You mean outside.  A sleepout outside mom?"  I said, "Yep!"  Then there were squeals of glee and pure happiness!  I brought up the girls little tent from the basement and went searching for the big tent.  Scott had it tucked away on the top shelf of the garage.  It is a miracle I didn't kill myself getting it down.  The girls helped me set up the big tent.  Thankfully the rain from earlier in the week had softened the ground so Anna was able to drive in the stakes.  I then set to work on building a fire so we could roast marshmellows!  This was no small accomplishment for me but I was determined to create a memory!  Scott was a little freaked out when he got home since I had forgotten to leave him a note letting him know we were in the backyard.  However, he found us thanks to Cash (dog) and joined in on the fun.  It was such a delight to wake up this morning to huge smiles!
