day home

Friday we had a much needed day at home to just be.
The kids did the normal routine of stuff we do everyday and then built a tent and read, rested, and played. Luke started to cry after Tucker woke up from his nap and said "I don't want to be done playing yet, I don't want to go to the pool."
I told him we were not going today and the relief spread across his face then throughout his whole body and he said "oh good-I just want to play."
They built a great place,
with different rooms-
and here is the best part-
all 4 of the kids enjoyed it.
After we ate dinner, and watched some video of our adventures this summer, the oldest 3 went to sleep in the tent.
Ahhh, I love summer.

My sister and I used to always make tents like that in our basement. Those are some wonderful memories!
Sometimes, it is just nice to not have to go anywhere. Ahhhh...
