Wildebeest and friends (all 17 years-old) came home on Friday night and built a fort to sleep in.
It all began with one sheet and a piece of yarn.
This makes me smile.

My kids do that — nice to know they might not outgrow it for a while 🙂

Yep, your kids could be building forts for a long, long time. 🙂

Your cat’s name is Lebowski? Is that a Coen brothers reference?

Most definitely a Coen brothers reference. Our cat is The Dude (minus the bathrobe and jellies).

It was a very cool fort. They were watching a movie in there when I went down later. And then they played Dungeons and Dragons (something Wildebeest hasn’t done in years and years). It was a fun day for them, I think.

It also makes me smile listening to Wildebeest explain how the fort came to be, with his friends expressing skepticism and then full-blown enthusiasm.
Maybe we should build some forts today….
