A New Fort & Smokebombs!!

Well, I broke down today and built a fort after much asking by Taylor!! Her original idea was that I dig a tunnel under the backyard with a room on the end of it!! And she was actually serious about it...I said "Taylor that is pretty much impossible" and she came back with "Mom...nothing is impossible!" How can I argue with that!!

I think I did a pretty good job, dont you? It is made with 4 bamboo poles, sheets, and bailing twine!! They were all easy to impress though!

The inside was all decked out as well...plenty of pillows, blankets, toys...even granola bars for when they woke up in the morning!! Which they did not make it to...as soon as the dogs barked Taylor was inside and the boys soon to follow!!

Welcome to our new fort!!

Sunday morning the 15th we will be traveling to bring this little guy home! He is our new buck. He is bigger than this picture now...about 4 month old. They have been calling him "domino" and he is probably the size of the little guy in this next picture.

Im not sure what we will call him but we decided we needed TWO bucks and when we saw a picture of this one we just couldnt pass him up!! We will pick him up on Wednesday. I think we are done now until the babies start arriving in April!!!

The kids had a GREAT time with the smokebombs over 4th of July!! We probably went through 8 bags of them!! Eric couldnt light them fast enough...The boys especially liked them because they have been really into Spiderman lately.

Pretty funny, huh? They spent a lot of time like this running through smoke with their hands on their noses!!

Hope you are all having a GREAT summer!!!
