This should be interesting

Nate is currently preparing the backyard for a "camping" expedition with the girls.  The tent is set up.  He's filling up the air mattress and getting plenty of blankets outside.  They went around the neighborhood with the wagon asking the neighbors if anyone had any firewood to spare.  Hmmm.  There's no fire pit.  Oh well.

Can you guess where *this* lady will be spending the night?  Tucked warmly away in my own soft bed.  My pregnant bladder doesn't want to be hiking it into the house every two hours.  Plus, I'm assuming the girls won't make it through the night.  I'm actually doubting that they'll even fall asleep out there...but maybe they'll prove me wrong.  They just might be tired enough....

....because they didn't exactly sleep well last night.  We put them to bed at their normal time, right around 8:15pm and they didn't go to sleep until 10:30pm.  For over two hours, they played and played and played.  We went in their room every 20-30 minutes to usher them back into their beds and they would give hugs and kisses pretending to be all settled in.  The minute we would leave the room, whispering would ensue, followed shortly thereafter by the light being flipped on.

At one point, they had opened their closet and pulled out their baptismal gowns.  Both of them were trying to wiggle their way into them!  Now keep in mind that they were baptized when they were two months old!  Yeah, not fitting.  But holy meltdown for us taking them away!  So in the end, they slept with their Easter dresses on.  It was late at night and I wasn't in the mood to fight...they wanted to wear a dress (specifically their baptism gowns), so we compromised with their Easter dresses.  Hey, sometimes you just do what you gotta do.  And finally, they fell asleep at 10:30.

So they just *may* be tired enough to sleep outside with daddy in the tent.  I'll let you know!!
