Remember building forts when you were little? As a little girl, I only minimally built forts as I was too busy playing school and house with my Barbie's. But, I know lots of little boys can attest to the joy of your very own fort.
This week my youngest decided that he was going to make a fun fort to play in on our basement floor. Blankets and removable couch cushions made the most inventive fort we have had here.
Evan promptly put his stuffed pika to "sleep" on top of the fort. See it there in the left corner?
As Evan got ready for bed Sunday evening, he said that he doesn't want the pika to be lonely so he should sleep down in his fort. Chris and I looked at each other doubtful that this was a good idea, but we consented. He woke up many times that night: confused and disoriented. The next night he also wanted to sleep in it. Begrudgingly, we caved in to his command.
He slept like an angel. Even my blow drying did not wake him up the next morning.
Unfortunately, a wrestling match that ensued with his brothers the next evening destroyed his fort, so he had to go back to his bed. I am sure this is not the last fort we will see at our home.
Thanks for playing with me today! Click on Carrie's link on my blog roll to head back to her site!

What a big, brave boy Evs is! I don't think I ever wanted to sleep in forts we made, and not in real tents down the line either. :) That will make one good memory for him someday...
Ahhh forts....great memories. Thanks for the picture:-)
I loved making forts as a kids and sleeping in them. :)
As for my new look if you scroll down to the very bottom there is a link to the made by lena site and she has a bunch of templates for free with directions on how to change it.
Frost rock until someone fails to make it structurally sound and someone else walks by sending the blanket collapsing in on the inhabitants....
I LOVED making forts. The boys doo too.
Thanks for sharing the pictures!
