The kids love making forts - inside or outside! Right now Conner and Drew each have their own fort built in one of two pine trees on Uncle Bill's lot. When their friends come over, they try to build fires by rubbing sticks and stones together for two hours (it keeps them very busy!!), they "hunt" with their pellet guns from the tree stands they built in the fort and they dig and dig and dig huge holes in the mud so that their forts can have private lakes! Needless to say - the outdoor forts are tons of fun and result in tons of scrubbing in the bath tub and tons of laundry. Brenna sneaks her way into their forts quite often. However, they now often have sign that read "No Gurls A Loud!" The inside forts are both my favorite and my worst enemy! Oftentimes, EVERY SINGLE blanket, hand towel, beach towel, sheet (even the fitted sheets!!) will be pulled out of EVERY SINGLE closet and be used to make the fort. The kids love it and they love playing and sleeping in the forts. But somehow, by the next morning, they forget how to fold and put away. Oh well....the memories are worth more than the hassle of folding (well, folding everything but the fitted sheets!!)
