Sunday morning – post “slumber party!”

Most of my older kids are out of town at a homeschool debate tournament, so we decided to have 2 of our granddaughters (Elaina 5 & Lily 3) over for a slumber party. At the current time, we have about an hour before we leave for church, so I’ve been enjoying watching the girls crawl under the hide-a-bed fort they made.

It’s funny how much more relaxed I am with my grandchildren than I would be with my own children. Years ago, when my children were small, I would NOT have allowed a fort on a Sunday morning. How nice it is the 2^nd time around and to have a different vantage point.

Last night Laurel (our youngest…now 10) built the girls a fort using chairs, blankets and heavy books to keep the “walls” up. I got a little disturbed at her (okay…a lot disturbed!) for making such a mess when the books didn’t hold and the blankets all fell in! When the girls discovered this new found way to make a fort using the sofa bed, Elaina said to me, “Nana, you should have thought of this for a fort.” Oh, the little joys of life - we can thank the Lord for such small delights and take a moment to enjoy them!
