Good Times Camping

Published September 30, 2007 by Erin

Our annual camping trip was great! We had an amazing weekend with clear skies and sunshine. We only did one night this year and it proved to be enough for our kids. Although overall they did great, Ethan had a rough night of sleep on Friday. It got pretty cold at night (low 40′s) and since this little guy is still pretty active when he sleeps he kept rolling out of his sleeping bag and, many times, would end up on the cold tent floor. :( Poor guy. Lucas, on the other hand, did great! He slept so much better than I thought and barely changed positions all night. I guess Ethan should have been in the pack-n-play instead of Lucas. So needless to say, Ethan was pretty tired on Saturday but ended up taking a good, long nap at the campsite in the afternoon.

We spent Saturday eating some great camp food made over the fire and took a walk down to the lake and enjoyed a few games of rings. And of course spending time with good friends is priceless. And we’re already planning our trip for next year… maybe we’ll be able to get in 2 trips. :)

The boys in the morning, brrrr….

      Samuel has a new room!!  Well, it’s a shared room, but at least he has a corner now!

      I’m not sure our youngest, Samuel, is going to make it to his first birthday. I think our daughter is trying to get rid of him. I think she loves him, she talks to him and about him often. But she has also done things to make us think otherwise. When he is in his swing she likes to push it beyond what it was meant to go. She likes to poke his eyes. She threw his favorite pacifier into the garbage disposal (unknown to Erin until she ran it). She has picked him up and dropped him repeatedly (and tried to pick him up many other times). She has taken his blanket, covered his face with it and laid on him. She has put a marble, a pretzel, a piece of pizza, and other things into his mouth. I’m just not sure if Samuel is going to make it because his older sister is out to get him.

      This is Ethan’s way of saying this room is off limits for Alayna. Now every door in our house, even Alayna’s own room, has this sign. Even the outside doors. It’s Alayna’s catch 22 - can’t go in, can’t go out.

      We went to the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati a couple weeks ago.  It was crowded!! Besides the fact that they scheduled the conference to begin at the exact same time as opening day for the Cincinnati Reds (~10,000 convention goers + ~40,000 baseball fans = no available parking + lots of frustration!) it was a nice trip.  Samuel enjoyed the big bed, Erin and I took the floor. ;)

      When your Daring Child is also your Clumsy Child that child will invariably be your Injury-Prone Child.
