We've had quite a few days of weather that is too cold to play in the snow. The kids always love making forts in their bedrooms with blankets, pillows, etc... but after a couple of days of trying to navigate the the gauntlet without getting barked at for wrecking things, I usually make them take everything down and return their rooms back to normal. Pun'kin Head whined until I said, "How about making your fort in the basement play area? Then, as long as you keep it neat, I don't care how long you keep it up!" Hooray for Mama! Construction began immediately and he has created a cozy spot where he has now requested to have his "resting times". It is complete with carpet, blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, books, flashlights, spy gear, weapons, (one never knows when an enemy might attack!) boardgames, tv and video games. He may never come out! As proof in this pic, even his four-legged friends approve! He even occasionally invites his little sis to join him :)
