A Fort Upgrade

It goes without saying that given some time, Griffin would find a better use for his fort. Not content with the fact that, at times, he would have to relinquish control of the TV in the kitchen to, well, ME, he set up the fort to be his own movie theater. That afternoon, he even invited a friend over, popped popcorn, and made their own snacks to eat while they enjoyed "Star Wars: Clone Wars." I'm sure if we hadn't had to take it down to prepare the room for Ian's open house, he would have somehow engineered rumble seats or surround sound coming out of the chairs.

Before we went to Italy, we got a couple "Flip" cameras for the kids to use. They're really easy to shoot with and even easier to transfer to your computer because there is a built in USB connection. Griffin came running out of his room and said, "Mom, you've got to see this!" Here's the result of his imagination with his legos, CD player, and a Flip video camera.
