"Fort"unate: Yes, Another Fort Night

Well, we certainly couldn't let the year end without a final 2008 fort night. Am I right? Yep, that's right!
Trouble

We set the fort mood by playing a little bit of a game called Trouble. I am sad to report that it was a beat down. Eric won, majorly. C'est la vie.

Le Fort: Final of 2008

We then set about the busy task of fort building. Our fort was sturdier than usual. We celebrated with an impromptu dance off to some sweet tunes from Queen. Truthfully there was very little dance off, mostly it was just me spazing out to Queen while Bumblebee (the dog) stared at me.

Maria Rose: Inside the Fort

Once I danced myself into a stupor I was ready to succumb to the sweet comfort of our extra sturdy fort.

Eric: Practicing the Popcorn Toss

Eric made himself some popcorn. I didn't want any, but he tried to force it on me, that was weird. Then he decided to just feed himself. Now, you may be stunned by the glory of Eric's PJ's. They were a Christmas gift from my aunt Karen. Aren't they awesome? I am a bit jealous. Eric won't let me show you, but there is an honest to goodness flap in the back, you know trapdoor style, complete with a button!

Maria Rose and Eric: Final Fort Night 2008

So, once the fort was complete and we were prepared with snacks we settled in and watched Total Recall. Eric has seen this so many times that he likes to advance quote. No, this isn't annoying, it is way more fun to watch my husband anticipate a cheesy line! A lovely evening indeed!!!

I advance quote some movies too.... I think sometimes people find it very annoying. Oh well!

Yay for Fort Nights - I think it is an excellent tradition and a great way to move to the end of the year. I hope you have a very happy New Year!

You guys are hysterical. Seriously. I don't think that I have ever met another couple who fits better than the two of you. I hope that you have a wonderful New Year's Eve tonight! I will be thinking of you! P.S. I have been keeping a rubber band ball in your honor...it is getting huge:)P.P.S. Let's get Reese & Bumblebee together. Reese loves dogs!

We may need to take fort making lessons from you two. Our forts are always incredibly pitiful :(
The jammies are way cool. My hubby used to have a similar pair. There are some awesome girl versions at JCrew this season. I am hoping for a good end of the year sale on those!

We've always spent the evening on New Years Eve playing Trivial Pursuit...What a great way you guys celebrate the holiday.

Looks like fun! Impromptu dance sessions bring on some serious belly laughs around our house. What are your plans for ringing in the new year tonight?

What a beautiful last shot. You should frame that one to always remember the energy of your youth! A fort for us now would need to be raised! :)

Tonight's events will be a toss up--either hubby (with my visiting dad) advance quoting from the 3 Bourne movies (he might prefer Lawrence of Arabia, but then they both would be sure to sleep!) or a night of games. I'm crossing my fingers for the later, which allows a bit more cross talk.

No tent is complete without a trap door.

This is awesome! Once, back when we were still dating, Jim made me sit in my room while he fixed up a surprise in the living room. It was the bestest fort I'd ever seen. There were pillows and Christmas lights and books and food inside where we could watch a movie together and snuggle. Best surprise ever.
