We are part of a "babysitting co-op" with a couple of other families in our ward. We each take turns watching each others kids on Saturdays from 5-9ish so that we can have date nights without having to pay a babysitter. More to the point, without having to find a babysitter. There aren't a lot of young adults in our ward. Anyway, this last Saturday was our turn. We had 8 kids under the age of 8, including our own. For the last hour and a half we put a movie in to try and encourage the kids to settle down and even fall asleep. This time Ben thought we should make a fort for the kids. It was the best idea. The kids were so excited to build it and were shouting and screaming after the announcement.
We pushed the couches together parallel to each other with the Love Sac in the middle and used two of our barstools and the tv as supports. We put a couple of seats on the "porch" too.
The view from the front door.
Some of the kiddos, totally engrossed in Curious George.
The rest of the kiddos. And the fan which was used to keep them all cool, since the roof blocked the ceiling fan. :) That was one of the kids' idea.

How fun! I've never had a fort that big before.
