Tent Fun

One day at the end of rest time I entered the girls' room to find this:
Grace had constructed her own tent out of a sheet & diaper boxes. She even used her books stacked on Titus' changing table to keep up the sheet. She was asleep inside!

So, later in the week they asked for help making a tent. With an extra sheet and some chip clips we were able to make a tent big enough for two.

Before nap I crawled in with them to read them a chapter from our American Girl book. This is a new tradition before nap/bedtime of reading a chapter at a time. Grace is LOVING this so we have already completed 2 of the 3 books we purchased.
Jeremy went in at the end of rest to find them both asleep snuggled up in their tent- so precious! Along with their doll collection and various other treasures.
Oh, the joys of childhood to be tiny enough to sleep in a homemade tent and imagine it is so much more!

Sadie loves reading chapter books--it's so fun to read on her bed with her after the other two are already down :)

We love the American Girl books too. Now we're into Little House in the Prairie, which has been really fun for everyone to read.
