Fort Beazer

So, as I promised the other day...I have photos of the fort. Zachary and his friend Michael started a fort in front of our house last week. That fort really didn't amount to much. However, the new and improved fort was built in the backyard. Brian helped with the construction of the fort (after some begging and pleading on Zach's part). We have been getting one storm right after another here, and the day after they finished the construction of the fort it snowed like crazy. They were so glad that Mother Nature helped them cover their fort. They needed to make the front of the fort, so they made several huge snowballs and packed them all together. Then, they had to reinforce the side as well, which was done with lots and lots of little snowballs.

We didn't end up have Family Home Evening in there, but there would have been enough room for all of us had we decided to give it a shot. The girls had been out there playing all afternoon. So, they decided that snuggling up in Mommy and Daddy's bed to watch a movie sounded a lot warmer.

Today, Ella and I went shopping for Zachary. He's been begging me to get him another pair of his favorite jeans. We ate some lunch while we were out, and then we headed home to pick up the kids from school.

I'm still feeling horrible, but Ella seems to be on the mend. I had her to the doctor yesterday, but they say she just has a virus that's been going around. I imagine that's what I have as well...I'll guess I'll just have to put up with this for the next week or two. YUK!

I'll end for now. Lots of love and warm wishes to all of you - Kim

What a fun fort. We haven't had any snow since a week before Christmas and today it was 55*. I love seeing your pictures. Your kids have gotten so big. Lauren looks just like you. Thanks for sharing.
