Roughing It

I'm trying out a new fancy parenting technique called ignore your children so they can figure out how to play on their own.  So far so good.  With the absence of my attempts at catering to their every entertainment need, they built a tent,

with a campfire, wildlife, picnic table, and "jumping pool" (also known as a loophole for getting away with jumping on the couch, torturing the cat, and eating in the living room):

The new slacker mom me pretended to not pay attention to their imaginative hobo camp construction and crossed a few tasks off my list.
