Forts

One of the best childhood memories is making pillow and blanket forts. I remember making some that took up the whole family room! Ranna, Christina and I were experts. Unfortunately the bigger they were, the less time they lasted. It was always a bummer to tear them down and put all the blankets away. And all the fat encyclopedias we used as anchors.
Well, Zack has joined in on this honored tradition. We have a lot of pillows that came with our couches. Since these are sitting couches, not decorative couches, we rarely use them on the couches. For now they sit in the corner and are pulled out as we need/want them. These pillows have been great fun for Zack. He likes to make "Zacky Sandwiches" with them. His latest use for them is his "castle". It's a simple pillow fort made in the corner of the two couches with a blanket for the door. He insists on the blanket because he wants it "darker and darker". With the convenient location and small size, we've been able to keep it up for quite a while for him.
