Two days ago, I had the great idea of making the two little ones a tent to play in while I did school with the two older ones.  It was simply a throw blanket and a toddler size sheet over two chairs.  The next thing I know, my frontroom looks like this:

And the most pathetic thing is, this is my view if I turn around in my chair from where we homeschool.  I couldn't understand how this happened without me realizing it.  There are about 10 more blankets, a box of cars and a box of animals all brought past where I sit!  I thought I was really a horrible mom until I remembered that I had been outside emptying the pool.  OH YEAH!  That's why I didn't notice it.  Phew... I'm not horrible...

In the afternoon, we went in the frontroom to read our history.  We are at Noah's ark.  I told N and Princess C to clean up the animals while I read.  When I looked up from my book, I saw all the animals in a row weaving around the chair legs, up over the blankets, all on their way to the ark.  How could I be mad...
