Last night we had our "girl campout with Connor." Dallin took Jacob & Zach camping (those pics are on a disposable camera and will be posted in the future sometime). Savannah was so bummed that they got to go camping and she didn't, so I told her we'd have a campout at home...inside. She said "It will be a girl campout! But with Connor!" They loved helping to set up a tent in the family room.
And play in it all afternoon and evening.

For dinner the kids got McDonalds. We got the movie "UP" from a Redbox and settled back to watch. My kind of camping when pregnant. Except that I only lasted about 10 minutes in the tent before I was so stiff I had to get out. Luckily Savannah didn't mind if I was outside on the couch. Her 2 requirements for our camping night were sleeping in a tent and eating brownies. I told her s'mores would be more appropriate, but she insisted on brownies.
Connor took this picture and I didn't crop it at all. I was pretty impressed.
The other highlight of the night were the glowsticks that Daddy left behind for them. Oh, and staying up late. Savannah lasted until 9:00pm.
In the morning I was so surprised to wake up at 8:00am to a quiet house. At about 8:15 Savannah came in and said "Mommy, I just can't sleep anymore." Connor had come out of his room earlier and she sent him back to bed. She said that she was waiting for me to come out. Sweet kids let me sleep in! It was a fun night!
