little monsters.

pretend play was in full force today at casa del ray! we built a fort/castle {blanket over chairs}, swam in a pool {made of pillows}, ate pizza at a restaurant {sat on two chairs facing each other with a pretend waiter serving us, oh & the food was hot so we had to blow on it before we could eat it!}, firefighters saving a kitty {used a basket as a hose}. it was a great day full of imagination! {i love his imagination!}

this is the monster that came out of the fort! 

sissy trying a monster face of her own!
