Today we made a den....

It rained today. In fact it rained yesterday too, and the day before for that matter. I really couldn't face going out, it was starting to get boring so we decided to make a den! I used to love making dens when I was a child, that is, until I took a lamp inside one of my dens and it got too hot, think charred sheets....

So we made a den today using Son 2's swinging chair and a clothes horse as the frame. I draped a quilt over the top and put pillows inside, I made a doorway using pillow cases and pegs.
The kids loved it! We stayed inside for ages telling ghost stories and making funny noises.  I pretended to be various monsters and Mr Tickles hand found his way inside.
