Campout

October 3, 2008

Does it really make sense for me to get up early tomorrow and clean my house for 5 – 8 year old boys who are having a campout in my backyard?  Tomorrow is Sam’s much-delayed birthday party.  His actual birthday was August 2nd.  It was right in the middle of summer and we couldn’t reach school friends and vacations interfered …  so it was put off.  Then school started and things were hectic.  Still he was very patient.  I finally got my act together and scheduled it for this weekend.  Can you say EXCITED?!!  Oh my gosh, if I said Spongebob was coming to see him he would not be more excited.  We have a tent (not put up yet – wish me luck on that), a battery-powered lantern, sleeping bags and pillows in case anybody forgets one.  Two of the 5 boys can’t stay overinght and will leave after the magician and cake-eating frenzy.   Big doings at my house tomorrow.   Oh and you know I will be sleeping with my window OPEN and the back door unlocked for any middle of the night bathroom runs…  I just hope the raccoons leave them alone. 

Stay tuned for the exciting story on Sunday!
