House Vignette

My house is like a Lego fort we kept on finding pieces for. We have always had the foundation but the kitchen came later. Riping out the old yellowing and facek wood my father replaced with cherry and oak. The tiles like a hop scotch around the island of sinks and dishwashers. Then the dinning room to family room was found hiding between two paintings in the garage. Bt before all that we could see the TV from the hallway by our rooms. Mom always sent us to bed at the same time even if we weren't tired and the sun was still awake. So we always snuck out with blankets and pillows to watch TV from 20 feet away. And thats how she would find us every night. Asleep in a row at the hall enterence.

That hallway got so much use from us. Zack used to take his mattress and stand it up so it created a barrier and then we would run at it and try to climb before it fell. But one time it got to close to the light in the ceiling and shattered it. Angry mom always put an end to that game. But she would always start a new one at the beach with a smile and a half deflated tube.
