GIRLS NIGHT OUT!

Well, not what you think, and not really "out" as in the literal sense of the word!! My eldest daughter decided to build a fort last night in the living room. She put some chairs together and draped blankets over and around it. She even made it comfy inside by adding more blankets and stuffed animals. On top of that she had bottled water and fruit snacks in case we got hungry! That's my girl! Of course, it was an "all girls fort", so no boys allowed, not even to peek in!

She was trying to talk me into staying home from my bible study so I could just stay in the fort with her and Veronica. I told her I'd be back before she knew it, and I PROMISED I would go back in the fort with them! When I was "all ready" to join them, I made hot cocoa for us and I let them have some other snacks. Might as well go all out, right? I kept telling them to keep it down so the boys wouldn't come out and want to see what we were up to. Is that mean? Anyway, we started taking pictures of us in the fort with my cell phone. My camera flash on my cell is so bright. It's literally like using a regular camera! We were laughing at alot of them because some of them came out so funky. We couldn't see when we were taking the pictures because it was too dark to make out our faces on the screen. Some of them had our body parts missing or chopped off, and in some of them our eyes are so squinty! I did endure, and slept in the fort ALL NIGHT. I woke up with a little ache in my back, but that's okay. I know my daughter was so happy that I did this with them! Honestly, so am I!! Moments like those are priceless!

My girls!

Trying to get a decent picture in the dark!

She had to approve the pictures of herself because she knew I was going to blog about it! Girls!

They wanted to take a picture that looked like they were sleeping!
