Monday night as the wind was shredding leaves of the trees and icy rain was pelting against the windows, my 6-year-old son said. “Can we go camping?”
“Camping?”
“Camping!”
Why, I wondered, would he want to go camping? Then I realized the sleeping bag, used by my brothers-in-law while they were visiting over the weekend, was still on the sofa.
“It’s kind of cold for camping?” I reasoned.
But my every inventive husband suggested a compromise. So now we have a tent in the living room.
Adam slept there last night and extracted a promise from me this morning that we will keep the tent up until Friday. Camp Livingroom is flourishing, Adam is anxious to go to bed early, and hey, what’s another toy on the floor, he’s only young once.

what a great idea! the kids have been asking to camp lately so I might borrow it. I like the shot through the mesh. He must be in heaven!
awesome picture! I love it! By the way.... are those bug glasses from the "it's tough to be a bug" show at Disney's Animal Kingdom that you're wearing in your photo??? lol.
I remember doing that when I was a kid. I had a tent set up in my bedroom and I think I slept in it most of first grade. It's so fun to pretend at that age!

Good for you for being tolerant! I'm sure he is loving Camp LR!
Great idea! I'll have to remember that for when the kids are older.
Linc got a tent for his birthday and spent the night in it in the front room.
That's so awesome!!! What a fun way thing to do in these arctic temps.
