Camp Inn

I don't always think I'm a very fun mom. I seem to have the "no" syndrome - I tend to say "no" more than "yes" even if there really is no reason to say no. I'm really trying hard to work on that. Sometimes in the chaos of life, adding more seems stressful. But, more often than not, adding more fun always seems to relieve stress. I just need to remember that.

Here's one of my rare "Yes"es (or yes's or yes' or however the right way is). And, in the interest of full disclosure....I did stop short of popcorn and told the kids no on that one.



I love these happy faces! They worked so hard getting their beds all ready. They stayed up late and watched movies all from the comfort of our little tent.





The kids even got to sleep under the stars - our ceiling stars! They had so much fun! I need to remember this when my first reaction is to say no. Yay for being a YES mom!

  2. Yay for Yes!! I am a fellow 'sufferer' of the NO Syndrome....or rather, the kids are the sufferers. I have actually wanted to do the 'tent thing' but we don't have one.. :(
    I'm glad the kids had fun and congrats on saying Yes!! <3
