That is a photo worth a thousand words for me. That fort is a descriptive image of why Sundays are a miracle in my house. On Sunday my children play together. They enjoy each other's company -- they play legos, build forts and play board games. Sometimes they sit and paint with me or play the Wii with their Dad. Sundays are the one day my kids actually act excited to play together. (OK Becca and Lia play together all the time but even that has its dramatic moments) And not just for an hour or two but for hours and hours sometimes. Granted cleanup time can get a little feisty and occasionally Lia has a meltdown, but their disagreements are never long on Sundays. For some reason the twelve year old is content to let his 4 year old and 8 year old sister descend upon his room with ther ridiculous array of stuffed animals and dolls and he happily plays along.

Ah, I have so many memories like these. Forts are the best!
That is what happens at my house too. That is one of the blessings of keeping the sabbath day holy
