Last night, we had a fun sleepover at our house. Liam was our special guest, and the kids were beside themselves with excitement that he was going to be here for an entire day and night. Having the little dude has been so much fun, and it has also reminded me that I am a bit rusty. Like, I forgot to change Liam’s diaper before we left the house…mostly because I forgot he had a diaper, because I haven’t had a kid with a diaper in two years! But when he snuggled up against me last I thought about how nice it was to have another tiny person in the house…and how nice it will be when he goes home! LOL.

My kids have the Crazy Forts kit. It looks really cool, but it’s not easy for the kids to put together. If you don’t put the sticks in certain holes, then the fort won’t be as sturdy and will just fall apart. Usually, my son(4-5 yrs old) would get frustrated, then my husband or I would have to put the fort together. The kids would have playing in it once we put it together, though.

It took me until #20 to I realize Mike wrote that article! :,-) I then started back at the beginning to really enjoy everything.

The Fort kit is fantastic – endless entertainment for kids and husband

My nephew has that fort kit. It seems pretty fun – however I will say the times I’ve seen him play with it has really been him watching my sister & brother-in-law piece it together and then playing with the end result. He was 4 when he received it, so maybe he’ll move to be more of the architect as it gets a little older.
Leslie says:
It makes me so happy when I see James wearing one of my boys’ clothes. He makes it easy to part with their clothes.
Janna says:
We’ve got 2 sets of the fort kit (for bigger, better forts). It’s excellent!

Am I the only one who thought the link to the stars map was one of those that tells you where the Hollywood stars lives and got excited? Or does that just show how LA I am? And then I clicked and realized I don’t really care that much about astrology. LOL.
