Fort Friday

 

I'm going to see how many different forts I can come up with every week. I know the kids are going to enjoy this series.

Treehouse: The Ultimate Secret Fort

The Wall Street Journal had a great article on a upscale Treehouse the other day and it had me thinking about how I always wanted a treehouse growing up. We currently live in a new development that hardly has any trees, but I would love to move to an older neighborhood with well established trees to make one of my dreams a reality for my children.

Did you have a treehouse? Did you want a treehouse? Have any interesting treehouse stories to tell? Leave a comment.

2nd Birthday Fort

 

  

Decided to make a new fort/playground for Alex's 2nd birthday!

100th Post: Forts and Giggles

Mini Fort

For my 100th post, I was thinking about writing on James Bond inspired Corvus Watch Bands thanks to L.A.S.  but ultimately I decided to post on my make-shift fort that I put together for Alex last night. And judging by the smile on his face...it was a good decision. 

So far, one of the most commented post on this blog was Our Secret Fort, because it struck a cord with many of you. And at the end of the day, that is what this blog is all about: "striking a cord." Thus, from building fort to figuring out how to fold the tongue on your rubber mocs, Alex Grant will always be a place to swing by and relax. Feel free to bring the whole family.

Fort Brooks

While checking twitter this morning, I came across Bethdunn2's tweet (from Social Climbers) about helping her children with homework and fort building. This quickly reminded me of the fort I built for Alex last week. Click on the picture to see more pics.

Although the contest is over, We Love You So had a fort building contest to celebrate the opening of Where The Wild Things Are. Click here to look at some great entries and maybe it will inspire the Wild Thing in you to build a fort.
