Nesting....

[skjaere]

Last night, for no apparent reason, we made a nest in our upstairs bedroom (no "Stranger in a Strange Land" connotations). It was fun. We have a bunch of small spare matresses lying around, so we put three of them together and covered them with colourful blankets and pillows from around the house, until it was just a big, cozy nest. Then we lit some candles, and I read a chapter and a half of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" to Ian and Heather. It was great. Nearly light out by the time we got to sleep.

This was after staying up late and watching the highlights of the Oscars (Heather had not seen them the first time around), "LA Confidential" and "The African Queen".
