Camp-In, Football and Play Dates

On Chris' day off last week we decided to go camping. But as the day progressed and it got hotter and hotter we decided against. It's been really hot, miserably hot. So we decided that instead of having a "camp-out", we'd have a "camp-in".

The kids love it so much. We grilled burgers for dinner, since burgers are something we could have had while camping. We made s'mores and Bailey devoured hers and Tanner's.

 Then Tanner and Dad set up the tent in our living room and let the kids play. Oh and how they played. Aren't my boys the cutest ever?

Sweet Tanner-Bear

Our tent has this weird little zipper window in the back and until our camp-in we had no idea what it was for. Isn't it obvious?

Unfortunately, only one kid can fit through this little window at a time. Haha.

Tanner loved this little window. He must have zipped and unzipped it about a million times. 

 love that little face.

Then we let them lay down and watch a little TV. I know, I know- you don't watch TV while you camp, but they LOVED it!

Eventually I had to put Bailey in her bed because she couldn't calm down in the tent. She was sooo tired but wouldn't stay laying down- so to the crib she went.

But Chris, being the awesome dad that he is, slept in the tent with Tanner ALL night.

We had a lot of fun on our camping-in trip. The kids loved playing in the tent and they played in it all the next morning. I had to quietly put it away during nap time, otherwise I would have had a couple of meltdowns....

 

Also, football season started. It started out with a victory and went down hill after that. Oh well. We are still born and raised razorback fans in this family and we still love our hogs. And the kids still look adorable in their razorback gear.

Little hog fan. I know I must be too intense about football because now whenever Tanner sees anything football related on TV, whether its a different team playing or a commercial- Tanner starts yelling "COMON HOGS! GET THAT BALL!" haha. It cracks me up.

Love these little Razorback tattoos.

 

I started a playgroup finally too. We use to have one but then most the moms in the group started having to work full time, so that left the kids and I without any playdate friends. But there are suddenly alot of new moms in the ward, so we started up playgroup again. My kids are loving it. We meet once a week at the park, weather permitting, and play for about 2 hours.

Here are Bailey and her bestie on the horsey.

Tanner and his buddy Austin on the teeter totter. So fun!

 

Anyways, its been a gorgeous fall so far and we are loving having playgroups again. Hopefully this beautiful weather keeps up. I'm not ready for winter yet.
