during my childhood, tents gave me a feeling of privacy and independence. aside from my bedroom, it is my small personal space, where i can be whatever i want to be:)

Happy 12th Birthday to the Kid! Great job MM! I agree that not a lot of parents would go to the lengths of being this creative with their children’s birthday parties. The Kid is surely having a magical childhood!

On the tents, I agree, we had a sandlot across our yard and we’d hold forts, setting up tents with mom’s linens. Of course, we’d get a mighty whooping in the a** for messing with our bedcovers, but it was all worth it.
