TIME

Confession~ There are days that I don't like taking the time to really play with my kids.  I mean that is why we the grandparents and friends buy them toys right?  But I know all four children really crave that one on one time or a group play time where Daddy, Mommy, and or all together get down and 'get dirty'.
The other day I had one of those moments. I did not feel like pretending and playing, but then I knew I was just being selfish and the kids really could use something special and different.  So I decided to take the kids camping!


In our Living Room...

I know it is not the most glamorous tent and definitely not one like daddy could make, but the kids were beyond ecstatic!

 The Happy Campers!

 Memories

 No camping trip is complete without food!


"Mmmmmmm Yummy!"

It's not about how much money you spend, where you go, or really what you do. It is just TIME! No one knows just how much time God will give us with our children.  So enjoy every minute you do have with them and go spend some TIME!

  4. So cute! My kids love making tents under the kitchen table. =)

    In answer to your question about burlap...I always get mine @ Hobby Lobby. It goes on sale for $1.77 a yard I think. (or just use a 40% coupon) They also have several different colors. Hope this helps! =)
