Nate had a dinner for work on Friday, but had told the kids we could maybe camp out… I had given Emma a nap just in case, but when he didn't get home till 8:30 I figured we'd try another night.  Nate is a nicer parent, however… and Emma was so excited he couldn't say no.  So I went for firewood while they set up the tent, starting our camping adventure around 9.  (Good thing it's just the backyard!)  The kids stargazed, Zach fell asleep in the tent, we roasted mallows and ate smores and Emma finally crashed about 11.  Carter slept so good outside… probably his best night's sleep yet!  Isn't that the smile of a baby who's well rested?!  And the kids helped Nate make "the best scrambled eggs in the WORLD!"  for breakfast.  I am so glad Nate talked me out of thinking it was too late – as usual, it was so much fun!

    What fun parents you are, my kids have begged for a camp out all summer and we never got it together to do it.

    Carters smile is so sweet, what great parents you are! I so would have slept in my own bed.
