Sleeping (Bag) Beauty

A few weeks ago Ahenobarbus and I decided to surprise the girls with a family slumber party. We watched a movie, had snacks, and slept in the basement in sleeping bags. (Kind of, I slept on the couch and Audi slept in her pack and play.) Beemer LOVED it. We have since repeated the event three times. The best part for her was sleeping in her sleeping bag, followed closely by a new adoration of Spiderman (the second movie we watched). She has asked to sleep in her sleeping bag almost every night since. She has slept in her bed in her bag - where she fell out thanks to the slipperiness of her bag, and she has slept an extra night downstairs with AT.

One night, after repeated requests to sleep in her bag (while AT and I desperately wanted to sleep in our bed), we decided to arrange a campout in the dining room for her. We spread a blanket over the table for a perfect tent - there was just enough room for her and her animals!
She slept all night and loved her tent!

The next morning this is what AT found when he entered the kitchen:
