Stay In or Out!

We have a dining room void of furniture at the moment, so we made the best of it this week. The kids spent most of yesterday "camping out" and listening to Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories. (in between trips to the real outdoors, of course.) They seemed to have a hard time choosing either an outside adventure or an inside one. My son asked me, "Mommy, why do you always tell us, 'in or out!'?"

I remember opening and closing the doors as quietly as I possibly could in the summer time, to avoid hearing my own mother shout the same thing to me.
