Indoor Camping

Back for Christmas 2009, Jake really wanted to get the children some bed tents. He used to have one growing up and loved it, and was sure that our children would, too. And for a little while, the kids would frequently ask to have their tents up; however, once the novelty wore out they seemed to have forgotten about the tents. This past week, though, Bella asked once again for her tent, and Addie and Jacob eagerly followed suit.

It was quite tricky to shove a tent on the bottom bunk, and I'm hoping that the top doesn't get worn out on the sheet of plywood from the top bunk. But I made it work!

 Unfortunately, when we purchased these tents we didn't bother getting one for Will. He was almost 1 and wasn't able to get on the top bunk yet, so he didn't even notice. However, now that he is 2 and very aware of everything, I made Jacob share his tent (much to his dismay). I wasn't sure how well the boys could share a twin bed, but they've been doing great. I'm still debating if I will buy a second boy tent, since it is so hard to fit one on the bottom bunk. In this top photo, Will is peeking out the window:

The kids have been having a blast in their tents!
