Wow what a week! My youngest developed a very good allergy to the amoxicillin that he was taking for the strep throat the contracted at school (I’d be…
I know you don’t want to think about it but the holidays ARE coming and they’ll be here before you know it. It’s time to think about gifts especially if you want to save money or make your own gifts.
It’s no secret that we love forts here at All for the Boys so this handmade gift idea is VERY fitting.

Boy am I glad it’s Friday! It’s my birthday weekend and the boys and I have something fun planned for my birthday (on Sunday) if we’re successful I’ll be sure to post what we did!
After this week I’d be happy to spend a few hours in any of these forts with the boys!

Yay! We survived another school week – how about you? Today is another round of Fort Friday!

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.

How about a DIY fort/tent for Legos?
I loved this little craft from Jennifer at Ambrosia Girl and begged her to tell me how she did it and to let me share it here. Luckily I didn’t have to beg too much!
I did a special guest post for Jennifer over at Classic Play. Go check it out to see how we built this fort as well as some of our other fort building tips.
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)
Lego minifigs need forts too! from What I Made
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.
