Zoe is home from school today. Sick. Again. (Zoe is one of the few kids on the planet who actually LOVES school… so much so that she will fake wellness to go. Like, if her arm was half severed, she would try to tape it up and put on a heavy sweater and attempt to get out the door before I spotted the blood.)
Anyway, I made her stay home again today. She is bored beyond words. I am about to go print her out some math sheets so she can pretend that she is at school.
In the meantime, though, check out the sweet fort she built this morning in the piano room. She built it especially for spying on the neighbors and people delivering things to our door. (Our flat screen is scheduled to be delivered this afternoon… yeah, you heard me. Flat screen. The family who hasn’t had cable — not even local channels — for a year and a half is getting a flat screen. Sometimes we actually like to flush our money directly down the toilet.)
Behold: the “Sick Fort”
Did you see her wallet? Did you catch it? If not, go back and see if you can spot the 86 seconds its on screen again.
And here she shows you the peephole for spying:
And now I’m off to print math sheets and stealthily administer medicine.
(Post script… I realized after watching the videos that the video of her wallet was so long that flickr actually cut it off. You don’t get to see the other objects contained in her “adventure bag” or the sweet Exit sign. Darn.)

Wow, we could really use an adventure kit out here. We are on day 3 of being snowed in and there’s no end to the snow in site.
