A Fort For You

 

 

 

Well... we spend this weekend (your mothers birthday weekend!) clearing out half of the backyard for your fort... Here's a funny thought:

We paid money (rent trailer/sod cutter) and effort to remove grass (and weeds!) that we had previously paid to have installed... then paid to dump said grass/dirt in the dump which is like paying to put my dirt on top of your dirt.. anyways, then we paid for bundles of pine needles which fall freely to the ground in roughly 2/3's of the US. Somehow this seemed like the right thing to do...

We are very excited, next weekend 'uncle' lance is coming over with family in tow and we shall erect said fort. I would prefer to build it from 'scratch', but a) we don't have any trees to make a cool tree house and b) with my masters degree in progress I just don't have the time for a from scratch project. I am hoping we can build additions though :) but that's getting ahead.. i'll post each days work as we go ...
love you
