Greetings From Our Fort...
Yes, we are adults. And Yes we built a fort, and lay in it all night and watched movies. Yesterday around 11 it started snowing and sleeting and it was just nasty weather (come back 49 degrees from last week!), so we decided to build a cozy fort with tons of pillows and blankets. It was a great idea. I really recommend this. If you had kids? Double recommend. My nephews and nieces sometimes set up camp in their living room's and "camp out". Sleeping in a fort all night, or even for a movie has to rank right up there with indoor campouts. Do you even remember how much fun forts are? Take it from me, they are FUN and if you build one you might wind up sleeping there for months. You never know. Husband and I would have slept there last night but once the sun went down it got really really cold on the floor. So we retreated to the bedroom. However, the fort remains intact.
On top of our movie, we had a pretty unconventional - (and by unconventional I mean amazing) - dinner. Yep, take a look. That is: frozen supreme pizza, orange crush, strawberries, watermelon and string cheese. That all was followed by super fattening, super delicious chocolatey Bear Claw ice cream. And popcorn. We might have pigged out just.a.little. I don't feel bad abut it one bit either. Don't tell my Zumba class. ;)
My husband really liked the fort,
minus the blanket falling down in his face.
Of course he stayed inside playing Call of Duty.
Yesterday I set up the Facebook fan page. So you can head over there and "like" us if you are on Facebook. What else...oh there is a little Nav bar at the bottom of the blog now. All the link up top are working too! I think that is all I wanted to update you on...
WAIT-- NOPE, IT ISN'T.
I have exciting news that I almost forgot to tell you about!
I will be going to Disney in 3 days and when I return,
we will be having a little giveaway!
And not just ANY giveaway...
but a DISNEY themed giveaway.
Get excited!
(I know I am!)
It will work like any other giveaway, where you can enter multiple times by following this blog, becoming a facebook fan or following me on twitter. That will all be in about 2 weeks. You can do those things now and then enter multiple times, or you can wait, or you can leave here and never come back. Your call. But I would go with free Disney loot if I were you. Just sayin'...
So excited!
Will you be be building a fort to watch the Bachelor hometown dates tonight?!
I love forts! I don't think my boyfriend would go for it, though.
ReplyDeleteso cute!! that would be a lot of fun :)
ReplyDeleteI have so many happy memories of forts. :) I'm so glad you guys are still kids at heart! We are too! Right now now our house is messy from having company all weekend, so I just might make a fort in our bedroom and hide from it all.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE forts! The hubs and I built one a few weeks ago and couldn't stop giggling! Your blog is ADORABLE and I am so glad I found it! Will definitely be back!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your fort! now i want to build one so bad!
ReplyDeletePrecious!!! :) My husband and I did this awhile back and it was so fun! You guys are so cute!
ReplyDeleteLOVE forts! However, our pets find more pleasure in tearing them down. So it rarely lasts around these parts.
ReplyDeletei am so so jealous of this fort...i want to do one asap! it looks like such a blast. and yay for disney! can't wait to see what you come back with :) xoxo
ReplyDeletecouple of things: frozen supreme pizza is like THE pizza of the newlywed days... (LOVE it!), ref to the hubs playing call of duty?! hilarious.....and I just love that you guys made a fort sans kiddos. that's. just. awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I love this! So awesome! We so need to do this! And my hubby would play call of duty in there too! :) Disney so fun!
ReplyDeleteI love it... I don't know many adults who build forts, but boy do I think my husband and I need to start making them. You two look like you had a blast!
ReplyDeleteAlso I have to say I am a bit jealous about your upcoming trip to Disney... I have been wanting to go there for soooo long! I am definitely entering to win your Disney themed giveaway. I just went to the Disney Store last week, and it made me feel like a kid again... good feeling!

ReplyDeletecollin and i made a fort once
we called it "the campgrounds"
we slept there for three months.
Megan, I think I remember reading about that one time! Were those in the dark days of living with the mother-in-law? Not that THAT was a bad thing, just, people in closed quarters...shudder.
ReplyDeleteBeth-- did you ever play hide and seek in the dark? That was my cousins and my favorite past time when I was younger!
DAD--- if mom let's you be the day then you better get some photographic proof!!!
Meghan-- I want to see your fort!
arielle- I am going to take full advantage of the 80 degree weather.
Sandy-- what a cute blog, so glad you shared it! And now I am off to order some "keep" shoes for myself!
First of all, I love a good fort. Especially when fort dwelling revolves around eating lots and lots of junk food. YES! Y'all are waaaaaay to cute.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I am so very jealous! I am the biggest Disney fan ever. I hope you have so much fun!!! & I can't wait to see the giveaway! EEEK!

ReplyDeleteStop by and say hello sometime!
My Bloggie!

1. I LOVE that you still make forts. My sister and I were ultimate fort-builders and would get so upset when my mom told us (usually after six or more days) that we needed to pick it up.
ReplyDelete2. I may live vicariously through you as you enjoy Disney World and I am stuck in "Minne-snow-ta." Hope that is okay with you :)
3. The boyfriend and I started writing our own love story inspired by your posts. Such an awesome experience reliving those first few meetings/dates from the other person's point-of-view!
haha i love it! My boyfriend and I have made a fort before too! Its FUN, and cozy and cute! Young at heart girly, the best way to be :)
ReplyDeleteJust came across you blog & fell in love with it. I love finding newly weds, as in a year in 2 months, I will be in your shoes <3
ReplyDeleteFeel free to stop by mine!!
