After getting home from vacation, life just wasn't very fun at home. Nate and I were both miserably sick and the house was a mess from packing/unpacking. I was feeling kinda of bad for the girls since neither of us adults were feeling up to playing. Daddy was working late; so I told the kids I had a special treat planned as soon as their rooms were clean and pajamas were on. In record time they were done. We gathered supplies from around the house while the girls were begging to know what I had planned. Kayla figured it out, but Allie was still wondering. When I started moving furniture, Kayla got real excited. It was gonna be big!
Since it was Friday, I told them they could sleep inside the fort as long as they'd go to sleep when their movie ended.
I also let the girls have dinner in their fort. Kayla insisted on making it. Her speciality-crackers, cheese, ham, turkey, carrots, and grapes. (Thank you mom for the plates. The girls LOVE having little places for everything. We have to use them at almost every meal.)
Then they each got to pick a few pieces of candy for dessert.
Peek-a-boo. I see you!
As soon as Cinderella ended, the girls came and got Nate and I for prayer. We brushed teeth, put on some music, and they were out within minutes. I couldn't believe it.
They fell asleep so quick, I was a sucker and let them keep it up all day the next day and sleep in it again that night. They invited the neighbor kids over and had a blast playing in their fort. Now all the kids are asking when they can do it again.
