First Fort Friday of 2012!

Happy first Fort Friday of 2012! Here at All for the Boys we celebrate Fridays with some awesome fort inspiration from around the web. Whether made of sheets, cardboard, wood, or sticks, forts are a place we can go to transport our minds to wherever we want to go. You can play, dream, relax, or create in a fort. Everything is better in a fort!

I have one super cute fort from a reader today. Thanks Tracie! She said that her son had the vision and she just did the sewing. How cool is that?!

Love this shot seen on Confessions of a Prop Junkie from Silverscape Photography

 I know some of you have snow so here's one for you. I so want to throw snowballs over one of these! from weather.thefuntimesguide.com

A French Playhouse seen on Stephmodo from Marie Claire Idees

And we played some mini golf recently where the boys spotted this new fixture

and it made us dream about having a real working science lab playhouse. We can dream right? ;)

Have a great weekend everyone! We are back at it next week!

Fort Friday!

It's finally here! The last Fort Friday... of the year. We have had SO much fun starting this blog and while it's a TON of work and time we are getting paid with your sweet emails and compliments. So those of you who have taken the time to let me know THANK YOU! And those of you who continue to read on a daily/weekly basis THANK YOU!

This week we are sharing our fort!

The red stick is a broom with the sweeping part stuck in between the couch cushions.

Waken Fort - Dogs Allowed

Waken Fort - Dogs Allowed  Dogs NOT Allowed

We used a fitted sheet and put two corners on the back corners of the sofa and the other two corners over counterstools (you could use clamps to hold the sheets on if your counterstools don't have upholstered backs)

and a little message from us (Please keep in mind it's late and we've been playing in a fort. With dogs.)

May visions of sugar plums forts dance through your heads.

Just a reminder we are taking off from posting next week but may pop in Facebook or Twitter if you are a follower. See you next year!
