    Such fun. I cherish my memories of my sons and grandchildren doing that when each were little. I remember one time when the living room drapes got involved, too. Of course, they were still hanging at the windows on the rods. Thanks for bringing back my fond memories.

    Aw, the sweet memories of three boys, quilts, sheets, G.I. Joe and kite string. You can't imagine how long it takes to get to the only bathroom when G.I. Joe ties up the path!

    And there was that time that my sister and I fed my grandmother's "curtains" into the fan for half the night. (They were hanging on the rods, too.) They were new plastic! Imagine, plastic curtains. Really, they deserved the fan.

    Reminds of having day care kids. I would set up 2 card tables next to our dining room table and put sheets/quilts over them and the older ones would drag the babies in their seats underneath and play and play. I could rock one baby and ask one of the older ones to lift up and let me peek!! This was ongoing one winter. That and trains made with cardboard boxes!!!

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays for everyone.

    oh I used to love to build "forts" and "tents" inside and then have a PBJ in that tent and then, of course a good long afternoon nap!

    Looks like they were just waiting for a chance to "cover" the living room. And I bet giggles were the order of the day, too. The quilts are beautiful.
