The Carroll Fort

Every family needs a some sort of defense stragety for when the bad guys attack. I remember as a child ransacking my mammaw’s and pappaw’s living room. I would remove all the cushions and create my own fortress of solitude (I was an only child). I now get to re-live that memory through my little ones.

I took 6 couch cushions, 2 bar stools, and 4 chairs, and 2 rather large blankies… and then created the coolest fort since Fort Knox, except with the machine guns and laser security. We created 2 main tunnels and an opening for the 2 oldest to play “littlest pet shop”… don’t ask. It was super cool. The best thing was Macey… she played the role of the foreign infiltrator. She would, be so small and such, crawl thru and mess up te older girls play area in the fort. They would scream. Macey would laugh. I would then laugh. So then I would tell macey to go the other way, then she would repeat the whole thing again. Oh the fun.

I just have to say, every family needs to have “fort night”. later
