Owen and Papa John

Nana and Papa John watched the kiddos the weekend of our anniversary and this is one of the video's they sent Greg and I.  It is hilarious!  Owen and Papa John made a fort out of the couch and then Owen gets frustrated that Papa John isn't all the way in the fort....so Owen pushes him in the fort.  Turn the volume up. :)  Sooooo cute!  Thanks again Nana and Papa John!!!!!
