Cubby Camping

My kids often set up their play tent outside in the carport, with pillows, sleeping bags etc and are adamant that they are going to sleep there that night. We’ve talked about whether it will be comfortable/too cold etc and they always come up with great ideas for how to get around those problems – but when it comes to bedtime they always end up (thankfully) deciding just to go to bed inside – occasionally they’ll drag the sleeping bags in and sleep in them, inside, but usually its just bed as normal. I do enjoy the discussions though and try to use them as in investigative process rather than assuming they really do intend to sleep out in the cold and overruling them which would spoil all the fun!
