We have quite the little fortress of boxes, both filled and unfilled, in our spare bedroom/office right now. Last night it made me want to start arranging them into a mighty box fort. I was mentally rearranging them, when I remembered all of the other work that I had to do. We still have a couple of weeks, perhaps there will still be time to create a box fort. We sure did build some neat forts in the day: Hay Forts, Weed Forts, Bed Forts, Couch Forts, Box Forts, Blanket Forts and more. As kids if we could move it, it became a fort. My favorite forts were the Hay Forts, especially the one on the sledding hill. We had so many rooms and sections in that haystack, it was its own little kingdom. Of course we pretty much ruined all of the hay... but it was worth it to us. To anyone else it was a stack of hay, but to me it was one of our many magical playgrounds.
