Under the Stars

The Big Girls are sleeping outside tonight. In a tent.

MrB and are betting when they come back inside...

He says by 10:30pm. I say definitely before midnight.



Your wagers please, gentlemen...

They lasted the whole night! Woke us up at 7am complaining about 'brightness' and demanding breakfast as they'd been up for hours

did the first camping in the backyard thing with a friend too many years ago to remember how old i was, but i do remember my three younger sisters sneaking out and scaring the be-jesus out of us. they were snapping sticks close by, rustling leaves, threw a few stones on the tent etc, and it was only when we had decided to pack it in and head inside that we caught them.

LB - hee!!!! MrB was desperate to scare the crap out of the girls too, but I stopped him. Gotta let them get through the first night safely... there's always next time!

...you're a good mum...for now!

i'm already plotting 'a night of horrors' for when my kids do their first backyard camp and it will be 5 or 6 years away. come to think of it, if wife went with them it could be real fun (for me!)....insert BIG vincent price evil laugh here.

yeah...great for the pre-pubescent male ego...

if you ever spoke to the 'middle' sister, she would also tell you that she got up on one waterski before i did.....or did you know that already??? could be that it's only melbourne that knows!

stangely i was not aware of your water-skiing ineptitude before now. You tell that sister of yours she needs to widen her audience!
