Keeping up with Toddlers

I had a busy weekend keeping the kids entertained.  We decided to have a camp-in, complete with camping themed dinner and dessert.  The kids had a little too much dessert, however, and were too wound up to actually sleep in the tent.  They both ended up sharing my pillow at one point or another throughout the night!  Ethan helped me make pretty pancakes for breakfast and bear bread for lunch.  We did some fun activities and went on lovely walks through the neighborhood.  Everyone is tired from this fun weekend!
   
Harper enjoyed tasting the ingredients for our dirt cake.
   
  
We had ants on a log, pretzel hot dogs, veggie fries and fruit for dinner.
   
Dirt cake!
 
Harper was not a fan of the dirt cake (even though she loved the ingredients separately).  Ethan, on the other hand, could not get enough.
  
  
After dirt cake, we had indoor s'mores.
  
Harper ate most of them!
   
All ready to camp!
  
  
After the campers had their bath and milk, I tried to tuck them in.
    
They had other ideas...
  
After a late night, Ethan helped me stir for the first time.
  
We made fun pancake shapes!  This was supposed to be a flower.
  
Cat or spider?
  
Bunny
  
We made bear bread for lunch.
  
After Ethan's nap, we went outside to clean dinos.  I had put some of Harper's dinosaurs into backyard mud and the kids had to clean them off with toothbrushes in their soap baths.
  
Harper did a great job!
  
Ethan somehow managed to get more mud on his shirt than was on the dinosaurs.
  
  
  
Things got a little wet so we had to change into bathing suits.
  
  
On Sunday, we brought back the toothbrushes and foil tins for a dinosaur bone dig!
    
I set up the tins inside, as I thought it was too chilly outside.
  
Digging for bones!
  
Ethan consulted the in-house expert paleontologist.
  
He found a bone!!
  
I decided it was definitely not cold enough to keep adding to this mess.  We moved back outside!
