My kiddos and I sleeping under the stars
I think they were a little overly excited to be sleeping outside. They have been begging and begging. I finally agreed, and obviously they couldn't control themselves.
I guess the truth was going to come out sooner or later that Madi and I are warewolves. This is Madi howling at the moon. My transformation was just beginning!
They were trapped inside the net around the trampoline. Maybe I should have left them there and ran for my warm bed inside!
We had so much fun sleeping on the trampoline. It was a beautiful night. It took them a while to settle down, because they were so excited. We had a good laugh at the pictures I was trying to take. It is hard holding the camera backwards and taking your own picture. I thought they would be scared of the dark, but they loved it. They even had me turn off the back light, so they could see the stars better. We sang songs (sorry neighbors) and laughed. Zach kept trying to convince us that he could see the l]Little Dipper. We just congratulated him. I can't even see the Little Dipper. We kept sliding down to the bottom, because the grass is slightly sloped. We were a big cuddly mess on top of eachother. Finally, Madison said, "I am so tired that I can't keep my eyes open." We fell asleep and then at 5:30 am on came the sprinklers! I swear I checked the timer to make sure they were off. I guess I didn't do that great of a job. It took us a minute to get out, because we had to zip open the enclosure, grab our pillows and run. We all jumped into my warm bed. In a way, I am thankful for those sprinklers. I actually got about 3 hours of sleep being in my own bed. It was a lot of fun, but let's just say that I will do my best to put off sleeping out there for a good while!
