Facebooking from a fort

Sanctuary... is a word which here means a small, safe place in a troubling world. Like an oasis in a vast desert or an island in a stormy sea.

Facebooking from a fort today and its been a great time! Building one with the Gardner boys today was really fun. It made me think of a lot of great memories I have of building forts with my family when I was little. When my dad would decide to pull out all the blankets and push all of our living room and dining room furniture into the middle of the room and we would spend an evening building a fort. Or I always had bunk beds growing up and tuking some blankests in under the top mattress was a fort we often put together. Sometimes we would just build it then take it down or we might spend the night in it and make each other laugh. these are some of my best memories with my family and now I get to make some new ones with my favorite little monsters. Even though the exitement of the fort only lasted through the building process and a few minutes inside it was still nice to see the boys get exctied over a ladder, a pile of blankets and a dozen chairs. Not to mention taking a break from moving. And yet I built the fort for the boys I've been the only one in hear for the last hour. Makes me want to hide in a fort for an hour every week :)    

All of us inside :)

Mad faces because our brothers broke the fort.
