The joys of childhood

Ahhh, remember your first fort? I remember draping blankets over chairs and tables and crawling underneath as a child. I loved to pretend I was in a castle and I was the princess, or it was a fort and I was camping in the woods. I even took books in there with me as a nice hideaway. Mary experienced it for the first time last night and had a blast. She loves to pull the cushion off the chair and jump on to it. Sometimes she likes to curl up in the base of the chair and pretend to take a nap. Last night, Mary wanted Doug to cover her with the blanket and he was a bit enthusiastic and dramatic with whipping the blanket in the air. It ended up draping across the chair like this and viola', a fort! How fun!
She was having such an adventure, that she decided she wanted to sleep on the floor last night. Umm, ok. How many times can you be a kid? So this is where she went to bed "camping". She always wakes up once to go to the bathroom, so she slept in her bed for the second half.
