Happy Campers.

Saturday night...

This is our home tonight. 

I love summer time. The best part about it is getting to camp out in the back yard with my two best buddies. We had the best and most productive day ever today. We slept in a little bit and had a delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast. The boys played nicely together while I cleaned up the breakfast dishes. Then we went outside and they still played nicely while I cut the grass (ugh, it takes like an hour). When I finished that we scrubbed out the little pool so that we would at least have some water to play in to cool off. As we were filling the pool the water fight broke out. The pool never ended up getting filled, but we got plenty wet and cooled off anyway. Back inside for a quick pasta dinner and then we were camping, complete with peanut butter cup s'mores. As a result of all of this outdoor time today the house is still pretty clean. Pretty much the only downside to being outside is the mosquitoes, but more on that later.

Living Room

Only my bathing suit on the couch messing up this room. Oh, and that ever present bag of laundry (I swear I will put it away eventually).

Kitchen

I'm going to go ahead and pat myself on the back over this one. Not one, but TWO meals cooked in here today, and no dirty dishes. You may also notice that the fruit that has been on the counter is gone, it's been made into fruit salad and put in the refrigerator. The only evidence of my cooking is the new batch of CLEAN dishes. Go me!!!

Dining Room

You can't even tell that a meal was eaten in here only a half hour before I took this picture. 

Bathroom

All cleaned up thanks to two cute cleaning boys.

Back Room

I know that this is going to be hard to believe, but at one point today there were Legos all over the floor in here. Thanks to Not Messing Around Mom's strictly enforced "If I step on a Lego you won't see them for a month" policy they are ALL put away. 

Kids Room

Plenty of arrows, but where are the bows? Who knows? This is the only evidence that they were playing in the house today, and hooray it's on the floor in their room. I love it when a plan works.

My Room

The thorn on the rose. I didn't think this was possible, but there is actually more stuff on my bed than there was yesterday. I'll have to clean it off to sleep in it eventually. Right? But for now I'm just going to enjoy the view of the fire.
