Last weekend was the annual Father and Son's camp-out. The excitement regarding this adventure was oozing out of our house! Every night leading up to the camp-out, Carter would come downstairs (after he had been put to bed) and remind us that he needed a flashlight, or walkie talkies, or extra treats in case he got hungry. This little boy was excited!
Unfortunately, they had a big rain storm roll through. So they came home smelly, tired and WET! It took Tim all day to dry out the gear and put it away. Worth every minute of it though!
While the boys were enjoying the mountains, we girls enjoyed our nice dry beds! A few weeks ago, I taught the big girls how to tie a quilt. We were making one for humanitarian efforts (a crib sized quilt). During our tying session, I told the girls how pioneer women would have "quilting bees". It was a fantastic conversation and learning discussion.
They asked if we could have a "quilting bee" at our house with friends. I tried to change the subject, but they were relentless. So with the risk of becoming the neighborhood dork, I invited a few mother/daughters over for our very own quilting bee.
We had a wonderful time tying quilts, chatting and eating - just like the pioneer women!
