I had lots of ideas, but the first project I wanted to get done for the boys was a playhouse. Or a casita (little house). And I was told, "we don't want a playhouse, we want a FORT!" Ok then.
Our landlady had some big posts and Noah and the boys promptly got to work on digging the holes. After about an hour the boys abandoned Noah.
But really, the ground was soft and he got the the post sunk in a morning. Then, our landlady had some leftover aluminum sheeting she offered for the roof of the casita err fort.
The boys love it. We are still working on a floor of some sort because it's in a low spot (one of the few level places in our yard, which is on the side of a mountain), but really, they are in it almost everyday doing something.
I am praying somehow we can keep this house with it's amazing yard and great landlady while we are on home assignment next year. It's just too good of a space to give up!
