James and Abbie have been begging to sleep in the backyard in a tent for a week or so. But doing that on a weeknight doesn't work because Jim has to work in the morning and someone has to be in the house for Audrie, so I helped them come to a compromise. We built a fort in their room around the bunk bed so that they could sleep under it. They had so much fun planning it and getting all their evening activities planned (tic-tac-toe, DSi time, snacks, etc.) It was cute to hear them plan it and work together. They had a blast. (Note my son in his fleece pj's on a 75 degree night :) )

What a fun idea! My kids have been asking too. But neither of us what to go sleep outside :) Maybe camping in a week will help with that!! HUGS
