Well she LOVES umbrellas (she's getting a $ one for her birthday). And instead of swinging it around the house we figured we'd help her find more productive ways to use it.
Thus the fort building sequence goes something like this:
1. Beg for the umbrella til Mom finally gives in.
2. Swing it around, getting dangerously close to your eyes, until Mom suggests you build a fort.
3. Cover the umbrella with blankets (for camouflage and security).
4. Gather as many valuables as possible into the said fort.
5. Then hunker down and make yourself comfortable (at least for 5 seconds).
Looks like our method has worked, eh?
Oh yes. And B is finally back to her normal self (except for the bandaged arm) after her little surgery on Tuesday. And she actually likes getting drops in her ears every night now to clean out her little tubes! Yay!

Hooray for Bella! Forts have been a staple around our house for years. But I've never used an umbrella in construction before. Great idea.
Wait, what did I miss? Surgery and ear drops??
Since conference is coming up...that reminds me of how we'd make forts to watch general conference in. I should do it this year too.
Rachel!!! I'm so glad I've joined the blogging world and that you have one! Bella is so beautiful and I love her curly hair. We need to catch up sometime. where are you?
The forts sound like great fun, wish we could come over and play. I too am curious about the surgery--we need to chat and catch up.
good old fort building days, and of course, "fight for the right." Although I don't think you want to introduce Bella to that second part, best forgotten.
