We have had an abundance of snow days recently! With so much time stuck indoors, we have come up with lots of fun things to do around the house. On our last snow day, we built a large fort in our living room using blankets from all of our beds! The kiddos had a blast crawling in and out if the fort. And were very upset when it was time to take it down. Ah, well, we can build another one next time!!!!
