Yesterday was a gorgeous Saturday. James replaced the transmission fluid in my car (in hopes of it fixing the transmission issues we're having...that's a whole OTHER story). Malachi and Isaiah wanted to play outside with their Backyard Safari gear aka
Spy Vests. I was inside getting a cranky Samara down for her nap. All of a sudden this huge commotion was going on in our foyer. I rushed down and saw the boys were overjoyed because the mailman brought their birthday gifts from James' folks. One box contained a camping tent and the other box had more gadgets for their vests. They couldn't sit still until the tent was put up and all their accessories were taken out of the boxes. Malachi had to hang his lantern on the ceiling of the tent for when it got dark. They brought toys for entertainment in the tent, as well.
Just for fun, we told the boys that they could sleep in the tent last night. They were overjoyed. Of course, Samara didn't like the fact that she couldn't sleep down there with them, but I have a feeling there will be plenty of tent-sleeping in her future. Isaiah woke me up this morning and said he had the most awesome sleep in the tent. This evening all 3 of them were pretty bummed about James putting it back in its bag; Mommy was happy to have the living room back to normal ;-) Can't wait for all the adventures that are up ahead!
