This morning I went down to wake up the kids and this is what I found:
It is not unusual for my kids to make forts and sleep in them. The difference this time was that all five of my children were asleep in it. It has been such a long time since my older kids slept in a fort; probably years. It just melted my heart to know that my 13 and 16 year-olds were willing to forego their comfy beds to sleep on the floor in a blanket fort and make memories with their younger siblings.
I'll just have to remember this the next time I am pulling my hair out over their messy rooms.
