david, heather and duncan gave jasper lilith a tent castle for christmas and it was perfect timing, let me tell you!
she has been “camping in africa” for a while now and frankly, am i a bad mother to get tired of blanket tents all over the house (fine, just in her room but still)? never mind, don’t answer that….
so when jasper opened this present and squealed, “now i have a real tent and it’s shaped like a castle! and pink with purple!”, it’s possible that i was as thrilled as she was! without all the squealing. well, there was internal squealing… besides, look how cute this thing is!

hello, intrepid camper! or was this a “princess day”… cute, no matter what!

ah, mocker. poor mocker.
yeah, this doggie has seen the inside of this tent way more times than she ever wanted to. i am pretty sure that jasper is convinced mocker loves to be in there.
i, however, see the desperate escape attempt that is happening in this picture… it’s in mocker’s eyes. well, her entire body really.

and what’s this? a leg and some hands? another Gulliver’s Travels moment in the making!

i can’t tell… does this look remind you of mocker? has jon been cajoled into the pink & purple castle against his wishes? is there about to be another escape attempt?

oh! nope, only if you count jasper trying to get away from The Tickle Monster that just exploded out of her castle!
note: there was very little attempt to escape.

jasper’s dad is just a big kid himself, and she’s the best excuse to play
I will share your “inside squeal” with you…
I love the pink & purple castle with fleur-de-lys on it !

i thought you would get a kick out of it too – it makes for a great playhouse and it folds down into this small bag so it’s easy to store as well…
