This morning I woke up thinking "What am I going to do with my kids today?" I'm sure all moms think this, and I knew it must be something creative! So... we spent the day making a fort in our familyroom and oh boy was it fun! We used blankets and sheets, card tables, chairs, and a piano bench. We used tunnels, tubes, a tent, and a TP to give it more rooms! It seriously took up the entire room! You know you've done something right when you hear "This is the best day ever" from your four-year-old and when you hear your little two-year-old say in her best language possible "this is so fun!" SCORE! The kids played with toys in their fort and hid from the hunters! We had a picnic in our fort and read stories and even took a nap!! Who knew one little fort (or a gigantic familyroom fort) could be so fun?! Now tomorrow...hmmm How am I going to top the fort?
Ty and Mara enjoying our picnic lunch in the fort!
We pretended to be at the beach!
Even Caleb joined in on the fun in the fort!Do I look squished in here?
I am a tall person, this fort was made for little people!!

You are SUCH a fun Mom!!!!!
Way to go. I think the joy of the day was building the tent. It took team effort and planning and the children were part of the design. We talked about this. So much of the fun is building and planning.
This however, turned out to be fun most of the day.
I often think of Ty building the town around his train set It took a long time, and the fun for him was in the building, not the play time when it was completed.
It is nice that you could do this and let Caleb sleep in his bed.
You are going to have to be the creative mom in your home for awhile. Glad you took pictures so your can remember the good times.
