Backyard Campout and Pop Art

Brianna has a cute little ladybug tent that she loves to play in. She's been asking to have it set up lately so we decided to put it up in the yard for the kids to play with.

It was a big hit with Noah. Here he is sitting in front of it with his little ball cap on. I mean, now that he's 1 and a real man, he has to wear a cap while camping right? (Actually we didn't let them actually sleep in it or anything, they just played around with it for a few hours.)

Here's a close up of the cap and one big ol' grin. That boy sure has his mom smitten with him! I think he's a cutie all the time but he looks extra charming with the hat.

And I had to include this photo just for this face! This is his indignant face. He makes it when you don't get what he's trying to communicate right away or when he's telling you off in baby babble.

This is a great shot of the new top teeth I've been telling you about. Check out those chompers!

Anyways, back to the tent.... the kids thought it was great fun. They especially enjoyed peeking out the windows at each other or Travis.

Peek a boo!
Although, Noah seemed to have a different idea about what the mesh windows were good for:

Here he is doing his best impression of some Andy Warhol-esque pop art.

The original for comparison:

Hey, it's kind of weird but you have to encourage talent where you find it, even if it's face smushing for the sake of art.
