back-porch bedtime!

It is no secret that we live in our back-yard this time of year. We love the outdoors, the sunshine, and fresh air...the space to be creative and free and peaceful and together. I would gladly give up indoor space for the gift of extra outside space to live in any day. I hope as the years go by that our children continue to love the beauty that our green space gives us. This is the first year the big boys have been brave enough to sleep on the back-porch all night...by themselves! The cooler nights have been perfect and other then the early bird sing-song wake-up call, it is a fun little experience.

 First night on the porch...


 Snuggled together for bedtime book reading...


 

And out before the night was totally dark around them...



The air mattress bed became a popular reading spot for a few days then...



I love seeing my kids read and we try to do a lot of it here...



What a great spot to snuggle little sisters, too...


 

Thank you summer for perfect back-porch weather this year!
