Why Yes, That’s A Tent In My Living Room

Tweet

 

Remember I mentioned that the toddler was at his grandparents for a little while? And I got a lot of one on one time with the baby?

He came home this week.

Of course, being the awesome parents that we are, we welcomed him with this.

Oh hello toddler

 Because we live in a high rise building. Because we don’t have a backyard. So we have a tent in our living room.

Just kicking back, Mama

Because, obviously.

 All 2 1/2 year olds need a tent. To hang out in. To contain the 50 plastic balls that come with said tent.

See those plastic balls?

Did I mention there are balls that come with the tent? Why not? It’s great exercise you know, all that bending and stretching and running around to pick up colorful plastic balls that go everywhere including under the couch.

Clever Papa put those velcro straps in

 Also? Mamas are not allowed into said tent unless invited. I may be making a Stay Out sign soon.

Tents are awesome

There’s a tent in my living room.

I would not want it any other way.

The Happy

Be happy for this moment.  This moment is your life.

I love my boys.

I love my sister.

I love taking photographs.

I so LOVED using my sister’s Nikon DSLR while taking some of these!

It made me happy.

And I loved capturing my boys’ happy.
