Make a fort! Or, tent, as Kayla calls it. I'll be the first to admit I'm not the "fun and creative" parent in the family; and this is actually the first time I've done this (not counting the one time I made her a little tent by draping a sheet across the head/foot boards of her bed!)
Here is our fort/tent:
So I don't have the best experience at making a cool fort, but I think Kayla approved!
I think you made a really good fort!Looks like you had a nice afternoon having some Mommy and daughter time together.My kids use to love for me to make them forts also. I remember also have a fun time as a kid making forts with my mom.It's the time together that makes it special. You are creative! I can't believe you said you weren't.You are a wonderful mother who always thinks of fun stuff to do with your little angel.I think Kayla would agree with me on that.
ReplyDeletelove ya!
love,mimi
That fort has a distinctly familiar look about it. I believe you and I must have attended the same "fort-making" class. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat happy smile says "Great Fort Mom!" You did a good job Michelle.
w00t Fort days are so much fun .... Looks like Kayla enjoyed the distraction!
ReplyDeleteWow! If that isn't the coolest fort...I don't know what is! Just look at Kayla's face, she is so happy and I bet she won't soon forget it! Way to go Mom!
ReplyDeleteOh, I can remember turning my whole bedroom into one big fort. I spent hours playing in my fort. It was some of the most fun I had. Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteTents are the best thing! That was my favorite past time when I was little!
ReplyDeleteIt is a cool fort!! And look at that little angels face. She totally approves. That's the best smile I've seen in a while:)
ReplyDeleteYep, judging from her big smile she was having a ball!!
ReplyDelete:-D
That's a wonderful idea! I use to love doing that when I was a kid. haha. :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow takes me back to my younger days :) We made forts just like that...Nathaniel likes them too :)
ReplyDeleteThat brings back so many memories of when I would do that with my boys! hehe Kayla certainly looks like she's enjoying it! Love it! Hugs xox
ReplyDeleteLooks like an awesome fort to me! And it looks like Kayla was having alot of fun.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, that is an awesome fort. Boy did that bring back memories for me. I used to love making forts, but none of mine were ever as big as what you made for Kayla.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteKayla looks like she was having the time of her life! What a great Mommy you are- have a great hopefully long weekend!

Look perfect to me! Sheets work the best and fitted sheets are great for spots that don't have perfect corners, just an fyi.
ReplyDeleteAwesome fort! I'll have to remember this for Olyvia as she gets older.
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely say Kayla was having alot of fun!!!
Thank you for explaining what the question meant in my book meme. I've now answered properly! lol
ReplyDeleteMay I just say, as a Certified Professional Living Room Tent Architect with 12 Years of Experience,(hee hee)..... that is one very awesome tent.
ReplyDelete:) Looks like she had a blast!

Oh this looks like so much fun!! I remember building forts like this with my sister.
ReplyDeleteForts don't have to be fancy to be lots of fun. You did a great job. And she obviously loved it!
Wow!! You made a HUGE fort! That is so awesome! I once made a fort for the kids that took up most of the garage. They loved it so much they spent the night in it and even invited friends over to play in it. We left it up for 3 days and there was lots of crying when it finally had to be taken down. Kayla looks like she had a blast!!
ReplyDeletelove you! Thanks for helping me relive a great memory. I think I'll have to build another fort soon.
I think she loved it! Good job!
ReplyDeleteBTW - I tried to answer your referral question. Tell me how I did?
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by. Seeing your comments always give me a lift!
Take it from me (ahem), an expert in making forts. That is a great fort.
ReplyDeleteWould you mind an unsolicited tip? When my 3-year old wants to play fort and I want to do something else, I build two forts -- one for me, one for my little one. He stays in his fort and do his own thing. I stay on my fort and I do my own thing (like, as my 3-year old would call it, computering.

how wonderful! I am sure she will remember this for a long time!
ReplyDeleteI too am not quite the creative type, so I get it!
I meantioned you in my first grains of gratitude post today! Hope that was ok!!!
THE BIG SMILE SAYS IT ALL!!!! :)
ReplyDeletechildren do not care if the fort is "perfect" or "accurate" It is "different" because this is something that is not done on a regular basis and that is what makes if "fun" and "enjoyable" and because a parent made it happen!!!! Love Mom
looks great to me!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job Michelle! We make tents that look just like that on occasion. :)
ReplyDeleteJust look at her face!!!
ReplyDeleteChildren LOVE that kind of playing. I sometimes put a real tent (for one person) in the middle of our cave and then the kids disapear for a hole weekend!!
Except when they´re hungry or thursty.

Forts are so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI vividly remember the fun I had when I was little. Playing under sheets with my three younger brothers. Free entertainment is the best!
