New clothes

Mark's aunt loves to bargain shop for children's clothes and as a result she keeps our kids well stocked with new outfits. We received a package the other day and my kids couldn't wait to wear them.
I should have pictures to post from last's weeks camping experience, but maybe after you read you'll understand why I don't. Mark took Sam camping on a Father/Son outing. To lessen the disappoint for the girls, we had our own camping fun planned. Mark decided to take the little tent (which we used last year in our living room). This left us with the big tent which we could only set up outside. Unfortunately we only have one camera and Mark rarely takes pictures, so he left it for me to take of our fun. After babysitting until 8, we took our portable DVD player in the tent to watch our rented movie. Luckily Joseph went to sleep inside at this time. It was so cold that I almost didn't even want my hands out to eat our popcorn (or to use the camera). Halfway through the movie, the battery died, so we had to come inside to finish. The girls insisted on sleeping outside (even though it was freezing) so we headed out and came to find that it had started raining. The rain didn't actually bother us too much. It wasn't until around 3 that the sprinklers turned on and left Taylor in a puddle that made the night real interesting. Mark and Sam were rained on too (possibly even snow). Luckily for them, Mark had bought a battery operated machine that he plugged his electric blanket into, so they were able to stay mostly warm. Everything was wet for days and so we wonder - who schedules camping trips in May?
