Imagination

Mommy has an idea…lets make a fort!

Ask any member of my family and they will tell you that I used to love making forts. I would use the card table, the piano and the bench, laundry baskets, boxes, and anything else I could get my hands on. I would then use blankets and towels to cover the whole conglomeration. Then I would crawl inside and just hang out in my little fort. I would keep them up for as long as my mother would get sick of seeing the eye sore in the living room. Then I’d wait a week or so and do it all over again! Now, it’s time to pass those skills on…

Isabel’s first fort.
She played in here until she smacked the top of her head on the “skirt” of the table; which happened to be moments after I took this photo. Until next time…

Later, she was “reading” the grocery ad after “work”.

She has this little game that she plays almost every day where she says she’s going to work. Then she’ll go into the laundry room, close the door behind her, wait a few minutes and then come back through the door and announce she’s home from work and needs to eat dinner and then go to bed. She then pretends to eat dinner but won’t pretend to go to sleep and then will go right back to “work”. If you ask her; “Are you going to go to sleep?” “No, I awake. Need to go to work.” she says and then does it all over again. Sometimes after she walks through the door “coming home” from work, she’ll also say that she needs a kiss, too. :o)
