I raced to the internet and grabbed some super high-speed black and white film. I'm hoping they do what they did last year and swarm the maple tree in my backyard. I want to do a time-lapse shot of them if I can.
Last night we had a serious thunderstorm, so bad it knocked out the lights. we did the logical thing by popping up popcorn and building a fort, thusly:
Of course, when you build something that incredibly fun you're going to have some people show up to crash. For instance, this bastard who eats our food and doesn't pay rent and always takes the best part of the couch:
Turns out everything was okay in the long run, though. Eventually he moved to the side and we were able to reclaim the fort en force in a maneuver that would make most generals damned proud. Behold the victorious partying:
We then proceeded to have a good rest of the evening before finally disassembling it and putting it away after the lights returned. It wasn't nearly as fun making the room neat again as it was tearing it apart and cannibalizing the furniture for the purpose of the Uber-fort.
The last few days have actually been very fun. Returning from Japan has reminded us that we can get too caught up in our own little world and that we have to stop and make time to hang out just ourselves without electronic distractions.
Tonight we spent time making dinner and baked it, then shared it. We each got our own pizza crust and toppings and we went nuts making and baking them.
Tomorrow is more fun with Date Night. We plan on sharing a milkshake at Cheeburger Cheeburger and taking care of a few things for our soon-to-be-visitors.
I like this turn of events in how we do things since we've been back. :)
