A giant sheet with a drawstring through the hem on all four sides, it was just about room sized, she'd made it herself. All Lego constructions were to be confined to the room and to the sheet.

Not sure what the kids thought of it, but mum was able to walk around in bare feet whenever she wanted, midnight or not.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-35933914368769331202014-06-10T22:53:58.509-06:002014-06-10T22:53:58.509-06:00Oh, the imagination they engendered!
