Colour outside the lines

When Papa's away, Mama can be a bit slack. Picnics in the living room instead of supper at the table; popcorn in the afternoon or a TV show on Mama's bed.

Last night, Ben & FG decided they wanted a "camp out" in the pop-up tent. They loaded it up with pillows and blankets. I never thought for a second they'd sleep in there.

FG eventually went to her crib.

But Ben was too "cozy". He brought in his catalog and a few Rescue Heroes. I went back to check on him and covered him up with a blanket.

The little rascal slept there until 7 this morning and woke up with a smile on his face.

Sometimes its good to let them colour outside the lines.
