Fort Denbow

What do you do when you're swimming in unpacked boxes on a slow, Saturday morning and can't bring yourself to unpack another? 

You build the biggest fort your new dining room can handle, duh.

You then proceed to make it cooler by cutting out sun roofs because it's a tad dark in there.

That leads to a game of smash the mole in which your husband grabs your cut out sun roof and gently whacks anyone in the head that pops out long enough to get whacked. Have no fear, no children were whacked hard enough to stop coming up for more.

Your five year old declares it to be the best fort ever. You melt into a little puddle and decide you're having as much fun as he is.

You then decide to do what anyone who has ever run out of room does and build up. Another box becomes a tower complete with a window that opens and closes so you can see when your dad is sneaking up on you. 

A doggie window completes the building process and you decide to leave the fort up as long as you can stand it. 

I'd like to thank our moving company for providing us with the biggest boxes I've ever seen for that afternoon of entertainment. The kids played chase with Sunday, ate snacks, read, and rested in their new fort and I got some more boxes unpacked in peace. 

Winning!
