Sometimes Friday night rolls around and Chris and I haven’t
made any date plans. (Okay, this may happen almost every Friday night.) But
that doesn’t mean we’ve lost all spark of creativity. Last Friday night Chris and I decided to
revert back to our childhoods and build a massive fort! Armed with all the blankets and sheets in our
house, an ironing board, card table, and kitchen chairs, we were able to
construct this beauty…
The entrance looks small, but the space opens up wide in the
middle. We encompassed our TV in the fort so we could enjoy an old Hitchcock
film, The Lady Vanishes. I propped up
my pregnant self on about ten pillows and a big fluffy blanket. Chris even made his famous Butterfinger shakes
to complete the night. Delicious! It’s
funny how a makeshift tent can make movie night all that much more enjoyable. (Not quite enjoyable enough to spend the
entire night there, even though Chris did suggest it.)
I think we’re reverting back to our care free days because
we know that, in just another month and a half, our lives are going to change
dramatically. It may even be another
four years before Olivia is old enough to enjoy a good fort.
So next Friday, what’ll it be? Night games, toilet papering, hanging out at
IHOP until 5:00am? Who’s in?!?
Me me me!!!! I wanna hang out at ihop all night and eat Oreo shakes!
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! I instantly miss being a newlywed. You guys are living the child free life up!!....for a few more months anway. Actually, you're really just practicing for when she arrives...kids REALLY love building forts. Good job!!
ReplyDeleteFUN!!! She'll love forts in about a year. Luckily kids don't have to wait until their 4 to enjoy such wonderfulness. Our kids LOVE forts, so we usually have one in our house for a week straight.
