I'm all about bribing - or rather rewarding you girls for listening to mommy the first time. It has been so hard (to put it mildly) to get you guys to clean your playroom, so . . . I may have found a new incentive. Indoor Camping. Not sure how we sto, uhm came by this tent (I think Frank & Sarah), and I am grateful. In order for it to fit, the playroom floor needs to be visible - what more does any mother want than to see the stained carpet. God smiled on the event b/c Stella fell asleep on the couch watching Veggie Tales & saved me the trouble of her 'enjoying' the time in the tent. I found an old head lamp & took Arturo's bike light off & voila you girls were in camp heaven (nope we don't seem to own a flashlight & I thought a candle may be a bad choice). Armed with a stack full of books & your lights you crawled in, asked be be zipped up & were complete gems. Today I packed up the the tent & will try to use it for you guys to be good this week - we'll see.

Wow! What a great bribe, I mean, idea! LOL Hey, whatever works, right!!
Thanks for stopping by! I love your blog! It is now bookmarked. I admire anyone with 5 within 5 years of each other!
I loved camping indoors when I was little, and my kids love it now. We use lots of blankets and chairs. There are times when they have the whole room converted into a tent and you can no longer see the floor.
What a great idea! My kids do something similsr when they make forts out of blankets and whatever sturdy furniture is available. It is great fun for them but sometimes I freak out a little when it coms to cleanup time. I bet a tent is so much more easier. Great blog! See you Wednesday.
Great idea! I can't wait until I can use those little bribes, uh incentives on my little ones!
I love it! That is the best idea!! I like the new header too, very cute.
Great idea!! I'm all about bribes, too. How else do you get kids to do anything???!!! LOL!
