Forts and More Forts

Lucie and Ryan have always been big fans of homemade forts. And fortunately for them, they have a father who considers himself an amateur structural engineer.

So we've built forts out of cushions...












and out of cardboard...












and out of used garden sheds...

and, as of this morning, we've built forts out of big kid beds.









Lucie and I did the initial construction while Megan and Ryan went grocery shopping. Although the problem with using beds as the foundation of your fort is that you need to take the fort apart for sleeping. And since we usually still get a nap out of L & R on the weekend, we dutifully took apart our fort at naptime and then promptly rebuilt once everyone was awake again.
