Moving Box Fort

After having moved in 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 and now 2009, we have quite a collection of moving boxes. Most of those boxes are only good for about 4-5 moves and because Corey likes to load them up super full and heavy, they really are quite fortunate to have survived this long. We had quite a few big boxes that were just not sturdy enough to keep so we decided to build a big fort out of the moving boxes for the kids to play in.

Corey and I worked together on putting the whole thing together. We used about 7 large boxes plus pieces from about 2-3 other boxes. Caleb designated the spots for the windows. Then I went to Walmart and bought a roll of butcher paper and we
covered up most of it and then the kids drew on the paper to decorate it.

As with anything like this, it was more fun to create the fort than to actually play in it. But it was fun while it lasted.





The fort lasted about 3 weeks before they took great joy in destroying it.
