Blanket Tents

Jordan latest favorite thing to do is to build blanket tents everywhere. She loves it. I was getting ready to clean the above "tent" up when Jordan told me how much she loved her tent. No cleaning for me! :)

Jordan built another "tent" on the couch about a week later. I finally did have to move this one because CHH and I were having to share the other couch along with the cat, dog, baby sister, etc.

She is so funny in her tent with all her princess stuff. When I cleaned this tent up, I found little pretend food items inside like she really was on a camp out. It really was cute and she loves it. When I took this one down in order to free up the couch, I showed her how to build one using her little table and a couple of chairs. She loved that!!

I just can't help myself but I have to tell this. A couple of weeks ago, I was in my bedroom next to our living room changing my clothes. I suddenly heard the back door open and immediately went out to the living room. Little Katelyn knows how to unlock the back door, open it and go outside -- not surprising at all for Katelyn because she always is figuring things out.

Anyhow when CHH arrived home, I made sure to tell him in order for him to know that she now knows how to leave the house. Well, my sweetie proceeded to give me the biggest lecture on how he never ever takes his eyes off of his kids and how could I be in the next room without them -- granted he was probably right on that aspect and I should have had them in our bedroom.

Fast forward a couple of weeks... Mommy is really sick laying on the couch praying she doesn't throw up again. Miserable. I suddenly hear Jordan and barely open my eyes. She is saying "Mommy, look I painted my nails." I manage to say "Oh they are nice" and then I ask, "Did your Daddy paint them for you?" Jordan replied "no" that she did it all herself! I did note her nails were red and she actually did do a pretty good job. I then closed my eyes and concentrated again on not throwing up (Katelyn had been sick over the weekend so it hit me all day Tuesday and Wednesday!)

The next morning, I woke up feeling good (yeah!) and went downstairs to our master bathroom to get ready for work. I walk in and find our nice expensive creme colored bathroom towel covered in red finger nail polish (see picture above)! What happened to "I never ever take my eyes off my children"????? See you should never use the word "never" because it is always going to get you!! Plus....don't lecture the Mommy! Ha! Big grin.
