Today, instead of doing our chores, we made this:

A Fort

it's complete with an escape tunnel, a back entrance (for vip's naturally) and a box of ritz bits cheese sandwich crackers (the best)

And, of course, a password is required.

(We've got to keep those pesky daddy's out)

The plan was to read library books with flashlights. Unfortunately, mommy didn't think through the plan until she had moved the couch in front of the flashlight cupboard...

and then, of course, mommy didn't remember just how claustrophobic mommy was until she was sitting in the fort reading stories... I didn't even make it through one whole story.

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate closed in spaces.

Being big (and old) stinks.

Landon was asleep when the whole fort making adventure was taking place. But, as you can tell, once he woke up, he was UBER impressed.
