Miss Piggy and the Campout

Emily really enjoys watching this show called Super Why on PBS. One of the characters on the show is a little pig, and that is the only place I can think of where she got this crazy idea. Yesterday, Tyler and I were outside in the backyard talking when Emily came out and asked "Do I look like a piggy?" She had gone inside a few minutes prior, stood in front of the mirror and tried to draw a pig face on her face. Needless, to say I was a bit shocked when I saw her face. I didn't get mad at her. I did very calmly say "Maybe we shouldn't draw all over ourselves." That broke her heart. She turned around and went inside on the verge of tears. She had tried so hard to draw the perfect pig face and I had ruined it. That broke my heart. Needless to say, her cute little piggy face remained there all day until bath time last night. Yes, we even went to the store with her artwork in place.

One of our favorite things to do in the summer is go camping. With me being in the last weeks of pregnancy, dilated and contracting we don't feel like it is a good idea to venture out anywhere too far off to go camping. But the itch to go is there so we had to improvise a little to satisfy the urge a little. Last night we decided we would camp out at the closes place available to us, the backyard. The girls were thrilled!Headlamps are on and we are ready to go.Helping Daddy set up the tent.We have story time even if it is in a tent with headlamps to light the pages. Of course all the books we read were about camping.2 happy little campers all snug in their sleeping bags.

We had a great night out in the backyard. Can't wait for our new little guy to come to our family so we head out somewhere else and go camping.
I will have to say, camping in the backyard isn't so bad, the girls stayed a heck of a lot cleaner than they would have had we gone somewhere else.
