Once upon a time King Daddy got the flu over the weekend. Queen Mommy had to keep the kids occupied so that the King could get lots of sleep to feel better. They went sledding lots, and luckily the royal family had been saving various rolls and other supplies to build a castle after Caden had found the idea in one of his craft books.. they were just waiting for a package to arrive that would give them a box the right size so that they could complete their project.. luckily Queen Mommy loves to shop, and one came at the most convenient time!
Their fortress was strong with a great wooden drawbridge..
Princess Ivy visited from across the land for afternoon tea! But got very frightened when the evil troll brothers banged on the box with their swords (in their defense they didn't actually know Ivy was in there, she had snuck in when we weren't looking!)
When they weren't being trolls..the royal brothers manned the operation...
We had a large cast of characters guarding the grounds... my favorite was R2D2 (or R2-1 as Cole refers to him)
Luke Skywalker watched from the roof..
There was a Princess locked in the tower of her own home by the evil witch. A spell was cast and no matter how hard anyone tried they could not get her out... Caden suggested she grow her hair like Rapunzel.
The enemy (me) rode in by night... but the Royal brothers played and played and protected the palace with all their good.
.. and eventually after lots of play, the Ogre sister awoke from her nap and the castle was demolished, unfortunately I did not capture the aftermath... but it was fun while it lasted!
The End

Just goes to show there is fun to be had with a little imagination and recylced cardboard! Like how Ivy even got the use of the castle!
