A Fort

I think my older brother would be so proud to know that he taught me at least one thing in life!!

Today Ella and I were having a moment of frustration with one another. So, I tried to think of something that would take a few minutes to do and that we could enjoy together for a while. Well, the latter was obviously relative when you are dealing with an 18 month old but it was worth a shot right?!?


I decided we would take a couple of bed sheets and with what little I recalled about building a fort in the middle of the living room with my brother (which I'm certain he built entirely by himself while yelling at me not to touch it), we (in this case I built entirely alone all the while fussing at Ella to not tear it down) attempted to build a small fort. I'm sure Scott (my brother) would be a bit ashamed that his little sister resorted to using clothes pins to secure the fort. I certainly don't recall any clothes pins on our forts but whatever works, right! Nash was not the least bit pleased that I disturbed his slumber by taking up the entire living room with sheets floating in the air that, heaven forbid, might actually touch him and scare the living daylights out of him. But as you can see Ella and I enjoyed it for a few moments together and then the interest of course faded but it was fun to me nonetheless.
