You guessed correctly. Poor Miss Teschmacher, worried about her mother in New Jersey. At least she did get to save Superman (and steal a kiss in the process). :) Hooray for Tim!

Lex Luthor is talking to his girlfriend, Miss Teschmacher (the one with the mother who was about to be destroyed in Hackensack, NJ). The second was a little harder, but I finally got it -- from <i>Three Men and a Baby</i>, when two of the men are unable to get a hold of the third when out on a date, because he was in the shower. They rushed home, worried that there was something wrong ... ruined their dates in a funny but rather touching transformation of their otherwise selfish characters. I get the prize, since no one else submitted a guess. Well, the first quote was easy — from the first Superman movie.

I think my kiddos stick to cushions, pillows and blankets. They haven't thought of taking mattresses off beds yet. And I'll be sure to see to it that they don't come up with that brilliant idea. Of course, that's why we keep that old crib mattress around. Never know when you might need an impromtu slide down the stairs or a cover to a bathtub fort. Ha! Jodi–how funny!

You will become a beloved fixture in that neighborhood for certain. :) Rachel–I’m sure all the neighbors LOVE you for sharing the secret techniques of fort building (make a huge mess and have LOTS of fun) with their children.

It was WAY up HIGH in the sky. I don't think I was ever brave enough to go up there myself. How ever did you all build it? I guess when you have boys you have forts, it's just a given. If you want to see some cool ice caves you can follow the Project 365 webring (on the top right) and click next until you get to Dody's website. She's in Alaska right now and the youth group just made an amazing series of snow forts. Wow! I remember your tree fort, Aunt Kate. It was WAY up HIGH in the sky.

This seemed to require every pillow in the house as well. Yes I love their creativity. No I didn't like helping them put their beds back together at BEDTIME! Fun post and pics even if my own love hate of these adventures brought on a few chills while reading.

Our living room is more accurately our fort room, since those couch cushions seem to work best for fort building. Our neighbor was horrified one day when he came over and saw his son helping mine to build a fort. "You don't want this big mess here, do you?" And no, part of me doesn't, but then part me says this is what having kids is all about. I, on the other hand, was somewhat amazed when my kids told me that none of the neighbor kids had ever built forts at their homes. (Of course, they all raced home to try it. I know my neighbors are so thankful for our presence. :)) I can completely concur with the love/hate thing for forts.

How I do remember our boys and their forts. I never understood why the Stocco kids came to our house for fort making. Never at their house? I remember ice forts outside- fancy!!
