Me and my brothers made them all the time.
Out of blankets, pillows, sheets, cardboard boxes.
Forts were the best.
And I was thinking the other day (after stumbling across some pictures of some super cool blanket forts) how much I miss doing those sorts of things.
Cliche as it is, I miss being little when doing things like building forts, running around outside pretending to be a spy on a top secret mission, or traversing through creeks to find hidden treasure, was socially except-able and age appropriate...
However I've decided that I'm going to start building blanket forts again anyway.
In fact when I get married I fully intend to build forts and make my husband live in them with me.
And then when I have kids I'll build them all the time.
There. Problem solved.
