Tent Time

Since I live in Texas, it's much too hot to play outside all day.  So my kids and I love to build "indoor tents" with blankets and sheets.  We'll painstakingly work on it for hours, clipping it to parts of the house and furniture.  And once we're satisfied with our progress, we rush to the kitchen to make kool-aid and popcorn, to eat in our tent.  But it never fails...once we return to the tent, my two year old has completely destroyed it.  And the building begins again...  The next time, we assign guard duty, to one of the otehr children.  But this always results in a wrestling match on the floor...which ends up destroying the tent.  We'd lock the little booger up in the closet next time, but this might prompt CPS to come a'knockin' on our door, so we lure him into the kitchen with promises of chocolate milk and rice krispy treats.  It works!  Unfortunately, I don't have rice krispy treats and chocolate milk, so he gets angry and destroys our tent.  Well, we kinda like this little game anyway!
