Things are Getting Tense (or Tents?)

What is something fun that you can do as a father to a 4 and 2 year old while you are stuck in apartment on a cold Sunday afternoon in late January? Add into that the fact that Mama was up with the baby most of the night and they are both trying to make up for that? Well, we came up with building a tent fort. Not just any tent fort - but on that used 6 twin sheets (not fitted sheets, but the other kind) an extension cord, and a box of binder clips. The girls loved this fort that was the size of their room. In fact, they slept in this fort each night from when it was built until we took it down a week later.

Bernadette made her room in the corner by the chair.

Clare made her room in the corner by the closet.

Both slept surprisingly well for sleeping on the floor and they had hours and hours of endless fun in their forts. These pictures were actually taken at night when they were sleeping, just as proof that they did really sleep.
