Tooooo quiet

Tonight is our ward’s “Fathers and Sons” campout. This is the first year Preston has had a chance to go and he was so excited. Last year, Dax was only 2 weeks old and Preston thought I was kind of mean for not letting me take him camping. So be it. I am mean. But this year he was determined to take Dax and go. Preston set up the tent in our basement to make sure he still remembered how since we haven’t been tent camping since Arden was born. The second Arden saw it I knew there was no way that she was going to be left behind. She has been talking about going “tenting” nonstop for the last two days, so Preston finally gave in and agreed to take her too. So I guess it is the "Fathers and Sons and Arden" campout. Preston took enough food and snacks to feed the three of them for at least a week, so they should be all set.

So…me and Corbie are here at home by ourselves. I have been looking forward to being able to give her all my attention for an entire evening, since I am usually spread so thin. But she is still napping. So seriously, what am I supposed to do? I should catch up on some work, but that doesn’t sound very fun, does it? I cleaned up a little, checked my email and my blog, updated my Facebook status….and they have been gone an entire half an hour.

I can’t believe I miss them already.

This is actually the first night Arden or Dax have slept away from me, and I can’t help but worry about them. What if they fall into the campfire? Or get lost in the wilderness? Or eaten by bears? Or mountain lions?? I have even tried to call them to make sure they found the campground ok, but they must be out of cell phone range.

How pathetic am I???

It is just weird to have it this quiet at 5:45 in the evening, when everything is usually so loud and hectic this time of day. I guess I need to pull myself together and try to remember what I used to do when I actually had free time. Hmmmmm.

I can’t remember.

Well, I guess I will wander off in search of some entertainment. But a post isn’t a post without a picture, right? So here is one I took of Dax yesterday.
He was "helping" Arden color chalk pictures on the sidewalk. And by "helping" I mean "trying to eat the chalk and smearing her pictures with his bum."
