The Fort

Alaina and Jonnie love to build forts, so today after school they were excitedly talking about the fort they would build when they got home. They have off school the next three days so they knew they would have plenty of time to make it really great......
Well, this is what they came up with (: They used everything they could find as a weight and my favorite part is the masking tape holding up the blankets on the wall (Jon and I weren't real thrilled with that at first). They decided to sleep in it tonight and found some flashlights and a ton of books to read, blankets, stuffed animals, and who knows what else they squeezed in there!
I squeezed my head in there and took a picture-they are such good friends (: We'll see how long they last tonight.....


UPDATE: They were both sleeping in there own beds by 10:00.....The fort fell on them-can't wait to see what they come up with next......sweet dreams!

I love it! Is the first picture a view from the top? What a tight squeeze :)
So funny how long they lasted! What is the plan for today..putting it all back?
Remember when we all decided that we were going to move into our garage? We lugged ALL of our stuff down there and were so excited...only to have to move it back up a few hours later ;)

They are actually staying at Chrissy's tonight for a sleepover-so maybe they will come up with something over there! Yes, I remember the garage move and the work we did (:

Peace is every step said...

So funny! I love the masking tape and the pile o'dolls :)
