Old Carpet

Ashley and I have a lot of fun together when the little boys are asleep and Everett is at kindergarten.  We especially had fun the day before we had new carpet installed in our living room!

 

I helped the kids make a fort by moving the couches in a v shape, framing the window.  We put a fitted sheet on top, and voila!  Instant fort.  The couches were still in that layout when Ashley and I decided to have a hot chocolate party on our old carpet. 

 

"And if we spill, who cares???!!!" I said. 

 Ashley's eyes lit up.  "We should make crowns!"  She exclaimed, "So we can be queens!  We have to be queens because they are the ones who are in charge."

 

 

 

 

That was a good enough reason for me. So we made our hot cocoa, we made our crowns, and we crawled between the couches (without the fort top) and enjoyed our little party. No, we did not spill (fortunately? unfortunately?  I am not sure).

 

 

 

 

"Clink!" we have to say a handful of times.  It is not a tea (or cocoa) party without a few clinks.

 

 

 

 

And then, Queen Ashley gave me a demonstration on how to beat monsters and wild beasts.

 

"Swing it like this,"  Ashley would clarify.

I'm not sure, but I don't think most monster killers are so giggly.  But I'm very glad that mine is.
