The Sleepover

Last night we had our First Annual (hopefully) Sleepover in our Fort. At the beginning of this summer Gillian and I engineered FORT GEM in their basement. I know you may be thinking of a meager fort, but it is pretty major. Our fort has an outer wall and two inner walls. We have three rooms in our fort. The first is the playroom, we color, draw and play in there. The second room is our bedroom and the location of our sleepover. It is plenty big enough for us all to sleep comfortably. The third room is our meeting room, we obviously have meetings in there and we discuss Gemton (our town) issues. The fort has been wonderful during all those long hot days this summer.
The night started out great! We had pizza for dinner, our favorite. Then we watched Nim's Island and had popcorn, another big fave! We rounded out the evening with sundaes and headed downstairs to go to bed. We didn't even get to sleep til around 11pm, or at least they did. I was up on and off all night....I thought the night would never end! Finally morning came and we had doughnuts for breakfast! We had to have all the traditional sleepover items that i told them about from when I was little.

Looks like somebody is tired!

Natalie pouting...about something.

My sleeping bag was a hit! Since it's a mummy bag...we took pictures of all three but David kept bumping me so only his turned out. I think it was a conspiracy. So here he is, or at least part of him.

Holding up the sign Gillian made.

GASP! David is punching Gillian in the head!

David, Gillian and Natalie hamming it up!

The night turned out great...I hope we can do it again next year!
