Fort Vivi:

The final resting place of Princess Leia, aka Big Bear:

I think I'm going to make a blanket fort and hide in it this weekend. I think I have earned hiding in a blanket fort.

Now I just need to find a teddy bear.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY. BLANKET FORTS RULE.

I THINK WE ALL EARNED A FORT.

[firynze.livejournal.com]

The computers didn't. They have to stay outside.

Oh, she looks so happy in the shot with the flashlight! I used to beg my mom to let me build a fort out of the kitchen table and my sleeping bag. In hindsight, it meant she'd actually have to do the dishes that tended to pile up on it, but it was totally worth it.

i SORT OF WISH i HAD COUTH CUSHIONS, BECAUSE i RECALL THEM BEING EXCELLENT "WALLS", BUT THIS ISN'T A MADE ARRANGEMENT.

That picture of her with the flashlight is my new favorite thing EVER.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

It is pretty spiff, innit?

[arsenicjade.livejournal.com]

I feel like you should enter it in a contest, or something.

[reddevilpoes.livejournal.com]

OOOHHHH, the flashlight pic....gorgeous!!!!
I remember the blanket and sheet fords I made with my grandmother (Gods..that must be nigh on 48 years ago...am I old or what)
It's a great thing to do!
Did i miss your cookie temptation this weekend?
Was that because of the invasion of the ford?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

There was no cookie invasion, sadly. I was working! Bah!

[lastrega.livejournal.com]

Vivi's FOUR? When did that happen?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I know! I know! INSANE! It happened in December.

There was Thomas the Tank Engine. And Belle.

Good grief. Next she'll be conquering her local grade school and declaring herself President For Life.

MADAM SISTER PRESIDENT.
