The Couch Fort

On a recent visit to Aunt Erica's & Uncle Troy's Connor learned the fine art of couch fort building. The beauty of this activity, is that it provides endless hours of entertainment with material that most people already own. The downside, of course, is that you must thoroughly clean under your couch cushions unless you want months of lint, dog hair, cereal, spare change, and what-nots to go flying all over your carpet. (Side note: If you happen to find something that looks edible such as a peanut, do not, I repeat DO NOT eat it. It won't turn out well. Just ask Connor's adult cousin Scottie.)
This is no ordinary fort, according to Connor. It is "A Tunnel!!" said with great glee. As the gate keeper of the tunnel, I am usually in charge of putting the door back on each and every time Connor plows through. What can I say? It's a very important job, obviously.

  2. I learned my lesson on that one. Never eat anything out of the couch that doesn't have a hard candy shell!
