Another bleak day here so the boys put a new spin on an old classic. They built themselves a house out of the couch cushions - only this was no ordinary house. This was a Minecraft house, complete with crafting table and a pen for their captured animals. If you don't happen to have a 10 year old handy, you might not know what Minecraft is. (Although I have three of them and my grasp on it is still pretty questionable...) It is basically a video game where you build your own world and everything looks like blocks. The boys are absolutely nuts about it and could seemingly play it forever! So I love the fact that they wanted to make a virtual world here in the real one....even if it did make a mess of my cushions! :-)
