Fort in the backyard!

The boys have been wanting to build a fort FOREVER..... now that we have our own backyard the boys found the perfect fallen tree to build around.


It is amazing what $12 dollars worth of ply wood will do for five busy boys. They had all week off for Thanksgiving and spent many hours outside doing what boys do best.....climbing, collecting fire wood, digging holes, and just getting dirty.

How fun! It's funny you spent your TG like that, because Chris obsessed with embellishing our play struture, and that is where he, his dad and his little brother were all week!

What a dream for the kids and a mom. Bowen's hair has gotten so blond. I remember you guys made us cinnamon rolls one time and you even gave me the recipe and I can't believe how close it was to Cinnabon. Yum.

Fun pictures Amanda. Your family is hilarious, I can't believe Ty and Bo. We can't wait to see you guys in 2 1/2 weeks! It's going to be a party!! And your backyard is a little more fun than ours!

Aren't forts the best for the BOYS and mom? Jared built one this summer that was going to be a sand box, but slowly became a small dwelling in our backyard. I told him is was a "Mother-inlaws" house because it was so big. He thought that wasn't too funny! Your boys are adorable. I am glad Mississippi is treating you so well.

Looks like a lot of fun! I remember playing outside all the time and even making mud pies! I hope the in-laws visit went well!!

Hey Amanda,
I'm just getting around to looking at your blog for the first time in about 6 months. Your new house is so cool. I don't know how you survive having 5 boys. I am crazy with just 3 kids. I am trying to send out Christmas cards and I don't have your new address. Could you email it to me. emilysuechris@hotmail.com Thanks

Anything would be fun with a wonderful Mom like you! Nothing is more fun than growing up in the South! There are more Bugs, and land to explore! It was great to hear from you-I still miss you! You have a beautiful family! Love ya!
