Four-day weekends sound good, but they can get tiresome ... unless you have our imagination. And parents willing to put up with the mess.
Thanksgiving weekend was chilly, so we had extra blankets lying around. That gave us the idea to make tents throughout the house. And yep, they stayed up through the whole weekend. And we got to sleep in them!
The planning sessions were pretty intense ...
The raw materials plentiful ...
We had to work together, obviously.
It was hard work, but we had fun along the way.
You have to find strong materials as "mortar." That's why clothespins are a lifesaver.
Brandon was the self-appointed Keeper of Clothespins.
The contents of any efficient tent: food, drink, and firearms made of Legos. You know, for hunting.
And finally, the finished products. The "girls' tent" ...
The "boys' tent" ...
Then, the last night, Mom helped out and made a Super Ultra Mega Tent for all four kids. It took up the whole den.
Who said you need TV to have fun?
