Forts









The kids are on their summer break. Well sometimes it is harder than other days to keep them all busy and entertained. Today was one of those days. It was a wet, windy, cold day. So all of the kids have been inside all day. There is no heat in the houses here so when it it cold outside its cold inside too. Most of the kids were bundled up in sweatshirts, and hats and a few had on scarves. And when I say cold only 60's, but it feels a lot colder. I know a lot of you back home have a lot colder temps. So probably not getting any sympathy from anyone.
Even a few of the boys went to ride their bikes but that only lasted maybe 10 minutes. I guess it was too cold for them. All of the kids got to watch a movie this morning. Although when the movie was over they were all trying to decide what they could do. They finally decided on forts. So the girls went to their bedroom and pushed the beds together and put sheets up so no one could see in. The boys pulled the beds a part and used towels, sheets, covers, and shoes to build their fort. The girls ended up fighting and the boys played hide and seek in the dark. So at lunch time the girls had to clean theirs up since they were fighting and the boys got to keep theirs til this evening. This afternoon when it was their quite/chore time the boys had a pow wow and had an afternoon snack together in their fort.
Hoping tomorrow there is some sunshine.
