Happy Fort Friday! We survived another week of school even though the boys didn’t get full recesses because it was so hot. Yes, really! I started up the BBQ one night and couldn’t feel a difference between the air around me and the fire coming up out of the grill.

I LOVE playing with cardboard. We lived next to a man who worked for a company that made boxes or something but he’d always bring home these perfectly cut forts for his kids and we were jealous. 

Give a kid a toy in a box for Christmas and what does he play with? The box! For whatever reason cardboard gets the imagination going. Don’t recycle it just yet – save it up for your boys to put to good use.

(the only bad thing about it is that it’s hard for kids to cut)

Thanks to those that played along – I know a few more tried to but life happens right?! Everyday is a good day for a fort 🙂

We decided to make ours a movie watching fort and strung our sheets up on hooks on the ceiling. Our sectional moves into a type of bed and they love watching movies like that. We made it a little more fun by making a  tent.

I should probably do an Etsy Finds Friday again soon, but the boys and I love Fort Friday. It always makes me want to stop what I’m doing and build a fort. Everything is more fun in a fort! I think we’ll build one this week to share at our next Fort Friday.

Another round of Fort Friday (the boys missed it last week)! 

Next week I’ll share tons of pictures from the Harry Potter party, and a couple of projects/crafts!
