Destruction!

Our weather has been on a cycle of one week great, one week not so great. This week has been amazing...meaning last week was all rain...every day. By about the 3rd day we started going a little crazy and Mom had to think fast to dodge some serious cabin fever. So, why not take all the cushions off the sofa??

Timo actually helped me out with this little project. He started pulling the cushions off to run his cars over them. One went on the floor and Cameron started jumping on it like a trampoline. We then decided to take one more off for a jumping pad...which lead to a few more until all the cushions were off and on the floor. The kids then made a little obstacle course out of them, see who could walk across them all before falling over.


After about an hour, once the running and jumping lost their newness, we built a fort with the coffee table and cushions, then read some books laying upside down on them...Cameron practiced going night-night on the pillows, they broke out their toy cars and baby stroller...anything to spice up the fun. I felt like I was in a book of 101 ways to have fun with your sofa!

This is what our living room looked like after I put them down for a nap! Total destruction. I figured no use in cleaning it up because they would want to do it all over again when they woke up.
And I was right! They played the rest of the day, into the evening and even after bath time. We tried to cleaning some of it up and the kids just jumped right in with their ride on cars for one last hurrah! Needless to say, it's almost a daily question now..."pillows off sofa?"
