"Camp Out"

A lot of people wonder how we fit all our kids in our 4 bedroom house.  Before Caleb came along we had 2 kids to a room.  You would think that should work, but it didn't.  It didn't matter what 2 girls we put together, they'd always end up sneaking into the other room so they could all be together.  So when Caleb was born, we moved all 4 girls into the same room.  We have 2 sets of bunk beds and a book shelf and that's about all that will fit in there.  (Their dresser is in Caleb's room.)  They absolutely LOVE it.  It's like a big slumber party every night.  Often they will have what they call a "camp out".  This involves all of them gathering their pillows, stuffed animals and books and piling onto Anna's bed on the top bunk.  They usually read a few books and then they all go back to bed and go to sleep.  Sometimes they don't make it back into their own beds.  I've found them a few times all asleep together in a big pile.  I think it's so cute.  (Well, it's cute until I have to try to get them down while they're asleep!)

I found this the other night:

And these are from a few months ago. 

And just for fun, our "barracks".  Some day I want to get bunk beds that match.  Or even matching quilts would be nice. One can dream, right?  At least the walls are the color I want them.
