The boys left for the annual Fathers and Sons camp out on Friday. I seriously tried just about everything to convince Wesley that Caleb would really love LOVE going camping too. I even tried the, "Look how cute he is outside" scheme. Nope. Didn't work.
I ended up with Sadie, Kinsley, and Caleb (the two oldest weren't with us.)
I'm not sure why it can't be called, "Fathers, Sons and Daughters Camp out." I mean that does have a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Plus it would be more inclusive.
That's a good thing, right?
Hite had the best time camping with Wes.
Here at home we got pizza, the kid's favorite food. We put Caleb down for bed and commenced Operation Girls Night.
Sadie is not girly girly, like at all. So some of the things I wanted to do, I had to argue to her were necessary if we were going to be able to have a girls night, i,e. a girly movie and doing hair.
Her pick for a movie was either this super weird lizard movie or Pokemon.
Please, for the love!
She also didn't see why we had to brush hair. Seriously. Sadie. Come on.
I brushed their hair. Sadie wanted the bare minimum done to hers. Of course.
They brushed mine.
The movie ended.
They tried to prolong going to bed by being extremely cute.
Which worked for about five minutes.
I tucked them in and read to them a book.
THEN THE BEST NIGHT EVER BEGAN.
I watched the rest of all the episodes of Heartland on Netflix. My way. Which means skipping episodes that don't really look interesting. Fast forwarding to key parts of others to satisfy my curiosity. And then watching the season finale to wrap it all up. It was grand!
Then I played "Frozen Free Fall" on the Xbox until I ran out of lives. I know it's a kids game. Don't judge.
I also squeezed in some weight lifting.
Went up to bed and got to sprawl out across our bed!
This was the best part of the whole night.
Wes sent me this picture captioned, "All tucked in."
Laying in my soft, warm, cozy bed made it really hard for me to feel jealous.
