Solutions……instead of sticking ice picks in your ears.
When the screaming, whining and overall noise level in your house reaches a point in which you are quite certain dead people would be begging for Valium, enter your husband…home from work early, with a fresh, creative mind that has enough sense to know that mom is about to blow, and moves the chaos to the wilds of the backyard….where it stays for the entire afternoon, evening and NIGHT!
Meet the tent. My new BFF in all the world.
Yay for fun Dads!!! As far as I’m concerned, the best time of day is when Daddy gets home!
Oh, cool! I think when it warms up, I’ll get Hubby to set up our pop-up camper and sleep out there with the kids.
In the meantime, I’ve found earplugs to be very effective.
How awesome a man is he? Totally love it.
Did the kids sleep out there all night alone? My kids got too freaked out. At one point, just as I was telling them there was nothing to be afraid of, no bears outside etc, we started hearing all this grunting and shuffling and snorting. I didn’t let on that I was scared pretty crapless myself! It was a few deer sniffing around the tent. LOL
Thanks for adding me to your Bloglines! I feel honored!

Genius! It looks so cozy in there. Fortunately it is not 32 degrees at night on the Third Coast.
My kids love to do this. Unfortunately if you do it in February in IN the neighbors call CPS.
