We slept out in the tent again last night. This time Blaise joined us. Why the heck does anyone camp? We settled down for the night around 8 or so and Rae fell asleep pretty easily by 8:30, but Blaise was awake for a long time - probably till about 9. He's not used to having to block out noises and light so he had a harder time falling asleep. Plus, he took a long nap late in the afternoon. Roy had to stay up and write a test for his class tomorrow and it ended up taking him till 2 in the morning! He came out at 2 and got Rae to go potty. After that I couldn't get back to sleep for another hour or so and then Blaise woke up and realized he was outside and wanted to cuddle with me, so I spent the rest of the morning with his head on my shoulder. It got pretty darn cold last night, so I also kept waking up to make sure the kids were covered and that they weren't pressed up against the sides because there was a lot of moisture on the tent and it would get you wet if you pressed against the sides.
Sigh, what a night. Blaise woke up at 6:30 and I took him in the house and woke Roy up and then went back outside to be with Rae. Luckily she slept till 7:45, so I got a little more sleep. Poor Roy is going to be exhausted today, and Blaise is already showing signs of lack of sleep. My back and shoulders hurt and to top it all off we are all getting colds. Fun stuff. Moral of the story is: if things go well the first time, don't do them again!

Camping is only worth it if there is a lake close by.
It does get better I promise. It took 4-5 nights for our kids to get the routine. Now they all fall asleep as soon as they lie down. I can't wait to have a place to camp out in :)
