On February 18
th, Tim had another birthday! For a few weeks prior to his birthday, he kept mentioning on how he wanted to go camping. But as you may know, unless we want to freeze to death, it is not quite the season to go camping. So while Tim was at school all day we created as close to a camping trip in our family room. We set up our gigantic tent, which almost took up the whole room (I had to place one of our couches on its side to even fit it), placed greenery all over the place, had mountain video/sounds playing on the computer when he walked in, made foil dinners, had camping snacks in a cooler in our tent, and even ate a dirt cake with a lighter for the candle. His gift was a camouflage backpack filled with all sorts of camping and survival gear in every single pocket. He seemed to really love it and it was SO MUCH fun! Oh ya, we even dressed to part. The kids and I all dressed in our camouflage clothes. The kids thought it was pretty cool too.
