Camp out! In the family room?

This past weekend we attacked Madeline's room with a vengeance. Things were thrown away, others recycled, even more bagged up for goodwill, there was a "fashion show" trying on all variety of clothes to see if they still fit (I swear she's growing like crazy!!!)


This is what she chose to wear for the day once we were done trying on clothes.

Ron built a new dresser for her and we carefully put everything back in its place - it's Wednesday and I have to say, so far, it's stayed cleaned up as well, which might be a record.

On Saturday, Mommy and Madeline also had a super special camp out, in our family room. We set up one of Maddie's play tents, piled it full with big pillows and blankets. Madeline picked out which dolls and stuffed animals had to join us and she placed them around her tent very carefully.

We also had hot chocolate and stayed up late and watched a movie just the two of us. Then it was time to snuggle in and go to sleep - her in her tent and me on the couch *grin*


The next morning, I was stiff (heh) and she was bouncing off of the walls so happy asking to do it again every night. I think next time it's a Daddy and Daughter camp out and Mommy gets to sleep in the icky, horrible king sized bed with lots and lots of pillows. Daddy had to endure that torture this past weekend. I just can't put him through all that again!

Considerate aren't I?

Cute post. I can't believe Ron built Maddie a dresser...you go Ron. I live in a sea of clutter. Currently we are doing the same fashion shows at night...G is transitioning into a new size! It's sad to see some of my favorites go.

I have two questions for you...
1. Do you know a tax person that is up with the adoption stuff, I desperately might need one or did you use turbo tax or something?
2. Are you on facebook?

The sacrifices that you are willing to make so Ron doesn't have to make do with sleeping alone in that big bed are quite impressive!

It sounds like you made a lot of fun out of a big project!
