FORTified – in color!

Written by Heather Haupt 5 Comments

Well, we have now been in our house for over a year now. Since it appeared that our cardboard fort in the front room was going nowhere fast, we decided to give it an expansion and facelift a little over a month ago. Since I love matching colors and such we chose muted primary colors so it would coordinate with the Xander’s easel.

It is amazing how the simplest of toys, oftentimes junk or trash -turned treasure, make for happy children.

Xander enjoyed helping his daddy paint.

And of course he LOVES the finished product, especially the new blue GARAGE! Every man/boy needs his own garage, right?

    Rich is such a great dad — Xander is so lucky that he gets to help his dad. Imagination is a wonderful gift.

    Your Rich is amazing… painting and pariticiping with all the boyish excitement of making a fort/house/compound. BTW, I brought home some cool additions for the play house today!
