What a weekend. It started out Friday afternoon at the dentist office. Joshua had managed to loosen his spacer and crunched it. So the dentist had to take it out and will make another one. This one lasted almost 5 months and he has to keep a spacer for the next 4-6 years. So I wonder how many trips to the dentist we will be making!!
We finally got home and wanted to do our camp out in the backyard. Well this crazy weather it was way to windy and had been raining for a day and a half on and off. So Jay had a plan to set the tent up in the living room! The kids were all over this and thought it was great! It was too windy for the fire pit so we cooked hotdogs on the stove and melted marshmallows in the microwave for smores.
Jay and Anastasia finally got the tent set up with an air matress for Jay and I and the 3 little ones could not contain themselves they were going crazy with excitement and driving us crazy at the same time. Jay said if we ever go camping again he will go up ahead of time and set it all up then we can join him!! LOL. Then Jay tried playing his guitar for them to sing some songs but they just wanted to use his picks and play their own songs so that didn't last very long!
We finally got settled and tried going to sleep. Alexa is not used to sleeping anywhere but her own bed so she could not settle down she kept moving from one person to the next to lay by. Savannah is a night owl and wanted to keep shining her flashlight around and Joshua likes to go to bed but in his own bed. Finally everyone fell asleep. I could not sleep it was hot and my back was hurting. It was midnight and Jay told me to go on up to our bed. He didn't have to suggest it twice. However, 45 minutes later up came Anastasia with Alexa to put her in her own bed. Then Jay finally came up about 1:30. So Joshua, Savannah and Anastasia all got to sleep in the tent and they thought it was great still!
Jay and I both love camping but we decided we probably won't go again until this new baby coming is at least 3 years old!!!
Saturday morning everyone slept in a little and then I made pancakes for breakfast and we worked in the backyard for while (mowing, trimming, cleaning all that fun stuff)
Finally Saturday night the weather was much better and we all had a much more enjoyable evening. We were able to light the fire pit and roast marshmallows. The kids thought this was the best as the younger ones had not done it before. They went through a bag of marshmallows and then ran off their energy playing flashlight tag. When it came time for bed we put Alexa in her own bed but told the other three they had one more night that they could sleep in the tent but mommy and daddy were sleeping in their own bed!
