For Will’s birthday we got him an indoor play tent.
Instead of having it out all the time, since that would be practically impossible to do, we save it for rainy days.
The kids have fun crawling through tunnels, throwing balls through basketball hoops and playing peek-a-boo in the tent.
It keeps them busy and helps them to forget all about their terrible boredom and the gloominess of a rainy day.
And it helps this mommy keep her sanity with occupied and happy children stuck indoors.
These pictures were actually taken during the summer when it got more use. I quickly remembered the usefulness of this little contraption during a rainy afternoon a couple of weeks ago.

These are GREAT– I love that they fold down to NOTHING! I’ll bet this makes the short list for what to save out when you have to pack and ship your entire house in a week or two. You’ll have room for it once the rest of the furniture is out, and it will be light a easy to squeeze in at the end.
I’m praying for you as you are transitioning!!!! Looking forward to maybe seeing you in SC sometime soon when you come to visit family!!!
What a great idea! I’ve seen them at stores, but never really thought seriously about them! Now I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for them at resale shops! CUTE kiddos, by the way!
