I LOVE forts!!!

Do you like forts? I do. Even though I'm ten years old, I still love to put blankets up and make forts with whatever I can find. Whenever I want to make a fort, I always have to ask my brothers to help me. I like to set the fort up really nicely, and when it's done I get in and set up a pillow, then move paper and pencils into it, then I always invite my brothers to come check it out. We made a huge fort today. We have a Foosball table in our playroom, and me and my brothers hung blankets on that and the little boy's bunk bed. Our mom let us move the kitchen chairs in there since she was going to mop anyway. I spend that half hour just adding onto the fort. Trevor, (my littler brother) turned the light off so my fort would look really dark inside. We shut the curtains too. When I thought it was ready, I invited my brothers to investigate the darkened fort. But..................I made a mistake......................I had put so many blankets up that they couldn't get in. So, I made a path for them to go through so they get in. I didn't get to play in my fort that much because I spent almost the entire time fixing everything when it fell. My mom finally said that we had half an hour to play, and then we would have to pick everything up. I've got to say, that half an hour seemed to go by like a car speeding by. I couldn't believe it when the timer beeped. I said, "Just five more minutes! I didn't even get to play!" But my mom didn't care, she said, "I don't care, pick it up, you've got half an hour before your daddy gets home, and trust me, you won't want to see Daddy's face when he sees this mess. Get to work." And we did. In no time at all we were telling my mom that the play room had been cleaned. She liked it, (I think.) Well, I'll probably do it again tomorrow, but we'll have to convince her to let us play for about..................hm....................probably a little over two hours. That will be enough time. Well, I've got to go unload the dish water, catch you later!

Hey, Isabelle, when I was little my mom let us make forts too! We liked to do puzzles in our forts or build with blocks, or read books. Oh yeah, a flashlight in a fort! That was fun : )! My mom also made us pick up before Dad got home. She would say, "All hands on deck! Get this put in order before you Dad gets home!" I'm glad you can enjoy some of the same adventures :).
