forts and fun

sean loves to build forts. he loves to take apart our whole living room and make forts out of every pillow, cushion, and blanket. he has even started bringing down our blankets and pillows from the bedroom. the mix of dog hair and sheets and often spilled plants gets to me at times but i try to be supportive. he now has a new partner...ben is not quite sure what he is doing but knows it must be cool if sean is doing it. they spent so much time this day working together and building many forts. it is good for them. it is good for sean. i can wash the sheets and blankets once again.



lila was not feeling inspired by all of this and decided to head outside. all it took for her was a bucket of water and soap and some seashells to get started. she washed and scrubbed seashells and in between the work, would get up from her seat and just twirl. life is that simple and happy for her. i have no idea what her thoughts were during those moments. she was somewhere else...just twirling and dancing and smiling. she went back and forth scrubbing and twirling all morning. it was wonderful seeing such happiness in all three. some days are just great like this...
