We tried to spice things up around here last weekend by having our second annual winter camping trip in the living room. The kids were so excited. Ben even built us a crackling campfire this year, courtesy of YouTube (yes, you CAN find anything on YouTube).
We made tinfoil dinners, set up the kids' tent, broke out the sleeping bags, roasted s'mores, played with flashlights, and watched "Despicable Me" (movies are allowed for indoor camping). Amazingly, everyone slept in and we enjoyed a big breakfast of Swedish pancakes (my family calls them roll-ups, Elsa calls them pull-ups...you might know them as crepes).
Amelia was in charge of her class pet "Flounder" all weekend.
Getting warm by the fire.
Amelia wonders if this is really going to work. It does, kind of.
What a fun idea. And I agree, January has been kind of lame.
