Summer time. Kids out of school. Yet still, there are grown up things to be done – like laundry, mopping floors, paying bills, …. blogging.
We have one of those little pop-up tent things for the kids – they’re made by Play Hut I think. We have a small one, a tunnel, and a big Dora the Explorer playhouse. Normally they’re folded up and hidden in a closet. But during the summer I bring them out once or twice a week, set them up for the kids, and they can play in there for hours (no joke!). That gives me precious time to get things done. When we’re done, I fold them up and put them away. The best part is that we can take them with us when we go on a road trip – they’re easy to pack and small, and they’re most entertaining at Grama and Papa’s house.

Gack– sorry, that Snowffairy novel was me. I always seem to forget to log-out when commenting on another wordpress blog.
I had a laugh though– your comment came through while I was commenting on your bog

I love the little play tents! We use ours a lot, too! They’re great for camping trips. That way the kids can play in the play tent, and it keeps the dirt out of the sleeping tent.
