"Best fort ever"

Picture this: four dining chairs with a couple couch cushions placed in a circle and a large blanket thrown over the top. This was the fort I built for the kids yesterday and according to Lily it was the "Best fort ever."

I was pretty proud of myself for this fort so of course at the end of the day as we were getting ready for bed I told Jacob of my fort building skills and how I can make the best fort ever. I made it quite clear that I was probably the best and that nobody could top me.

Today Jacob stayed home from church with the kids because Jake and Lily still weren't quite over an illness. I went with Asher and the whole time I was getting ready Jacob kept acting like he was anxious to get me out of there. I could tell something was up but he kept telling me that it was nothing. As I was walking out the door I turned to him and said..."Well, I know somethings up and I'm not sure I like it." It turns out I was right.

I came home to the whole front room turned upside down into one big fort.(so much for being too sick for church) I have to admit that (aside from a few minor improvements I made) it was a pretty awesome fort and according to Lily it was "The best fort ever."

Here is Lily standing in the doorway.

This is the inside.
This is the "backyard"(where Lily is standing) and on the other side is the kitchen. It also had a place to take a shower.(Lily's addition)
Ok Jacob, you win. This is the best fort but let me just ask you this.... Did you pretend to be the big bad wolf like I did and chase the kids around and try to blow the fort down whenever they would hide inside? You might have had the best built fort but mine was probably more fun....at least that's what I'm going to keep telling myself.

ps. Just in case anyone was wondering: Yes the fort is still standing and yes we ate dinner in it.
