care to take a trip?

So ... you may be wondering why I would be sharing a picture of my very messy living room today. No, it's not to make anyone feel better, but if it does that too, then good. My house is trashed, yours is trashed, we've probably both got kids, and it'll only be clean again after they move out. Then, though, we'll be wishing for just one more mess, and just one more run through the house with dirty, sandy feet, yelling "Moooooooooom!"

The actual reason for the picture of my very - messy living room is to show what my kids did this morning. Trash the living room - yes. But, while they were doing that, they actually made a ship. Technically, it's an airplane, underwater ship that also has the ability to turn into a train.

This morning, Q sat on the big bendy cushion on the floor, The Bee sat behind him as the co-pilot, and I sat to her right, under the red blanket. The two big rectangle pillows on the floor are the wings. You can stand on them if you need to, and it won't break your plane.

We went to Arizona, then to Minnesota. While we were in Minnesota, we traveled under water, and then converted to a train. And, because my son may have watched too much Star Wars, we had to defend ourselves from the bad guys as they were attacking our train. Good thing for us, we survived, and managed to get away and make it back home.

So, while my living room may look like a cyclone hit, their imaginations were in full gear this morning, and we had a bit of an adventure without having to get dressed or leave our living room.
