It is not necessarily raining, but shhhhh don’t tell my kids. I woke up this morning and deemed it an “inside day”. The two babies have colds, the other two are on the verge, so I bullied Aidan into staying home from school and told everyone we were staying inside and in our jammies ALL DAY.
I have been scanning through The Children’s BUSY BOOK and The Preschooler’s BUSY BOOK, I found them at a 2nd hand store for 25cents each. The books have some really fun ideas, nothing you couldn’t find on the internet, but sometimes I just like to have something to flip through.
I decided this was a perfect day to make a ‘table fort’, you know take everything off the table, move the chairs away, throw some blankets over the table and VIOLA, we have a fort. The older boys have decided they are spending the night under the fort, they have already moved in, blankets, pillows, flashlights, snacks, they are READY! Funny thing is, it isn’t even noon and they are asking ‘how long until bedtime?’. Maybe I could use this to my advantage

It’s like…you’re some kind of genius.
“hey Kaitlyn, look what mommy can do to the table…”
hee hee hee
Wow, what fun!! You are such a good mommy…I am very proud of you…
My brother and I use to do that all the time, but come bedtime we were so sick of each other we never actually spent the night in the fort! HA, guess not much has changed!
