yes, its here! for those of you who’ve been around for awhile you might remember our fort contest last year.
we had several submissions of pictures and videos. ALL of them were amazing!
russ hutto won the contest. you can see his video submission here.
what did he win? nothing. he just…won 
although there was no prize involved, there was lots of fun and nostalgia to be had! seriously friends…fort building is SO fun!
so, you in? sure you are! here are the rules…
1- your fort must be made indoors.
2-all the items must be from your house and be reusable.
3-no purchasing items just for the fort.
4-involve your family!
5-submit your entry by pictures or video, via your blog or link to youtube or vimeo, by july 1st.
alrighty then…lets fort!
and here was our fort building journey last year…
Oh how fun!! We might just have to give this a go
Should be pretty chaotic…
might??
ahem…
Actually, you can just tell the rest…wait, I guess I’m telling them…..there’s no need to enter cuz the Keathley’s will REIGN VICTORIOUS!
It’s on!
Dude. There are 8 of us. This works out to a LOT of sheets and blankets.
Also, our greatest weapon is that my husband is the epitome of competitive.
In the words of Dolph Lungren… You will lose.
Bring it lady!
you better live up to these words, brother!
Kinda scared after reading about 2×4's being used…..gotta make some alterations to the plans, I think
Wishing Drew and I had time to do this!!! Hmmm…. date night?
yes. date night.
then a date night in the fort.
that could be fun *wink*
awesome. I can use my moving boxes, right?
yes sir. anything thats already in your house. and im sure youll have LOTS of boxes!
I think I need to get my nephews over to help me with this one.
oh yes… bring the little boys onto your team – they build the best forts!
With Jake on nights for two weeks, I'm pretty sure the boys and I will need something to do one night. LOL Don't expect video though, I'm not that high tech.
Here's to forting!
We don't own a video, so it'll have to be photos here, too. Which is probably just as well… my kids can be… shrill.
so can I! LOL No one wants to hear that. LOL
work that camera girl. you can do it!
I tried to upload a video, but I'm still trying to work out my tumblr account…
This is as close to a fort as we've got so far. My flatmate's kids decided they wanted to be buried on the couch, under cushions.

If I get the video to upload, I'll let you know!
haha!!!
is that your submission??
not sure yet…don't see the kids again until friday, so I'll have to think about it
I know, right?! I told him about the contest, so we're for-real doing this on our date tomorrow night!
YES!!!
i expect big things from the Thompsons!
TWSS
we want to win. we are plotting.
um….you saw that mandy and drew are forting too, right? and pastor T! ohmyword…what am i talking about?! all y'all here are gonna be crazy!
yes. but we have the Goodwin's here… and ALL my personalities plotting. i am an event planner… THIS IS MY EVENT!
Have they tried to convince you they are actually called "cubbys" yet?
Jesse and I are driving to Chicago on the 30th and staying 2 nights with @bradgross. I totally think we should do this with Brad! But you might not get the video until the 2nd.
that would be fine. i can introduce the winner later in the week.
im so pumped for all this!
we were going to build the cubby tonight, but the kids went a bit mental (heads were banged together and somehow I was knee'd in the back by the 4 year-old?!) and so we watched a movie instead. We may give it a go tomorrow….
Oh dear – I quickly scrolled past this post, and even though I know it says fOrt, I read "2nd Annual FART contest"….
(guess that's why we call them Cubbies)
Bummer, I can't play! Won't be home until the 7th. Next year.
i had to read this comment about five times before i realized it DIDNT day…
\”wont be home until the 7th, (comma) , next year.\”
:-/
Ya, I'm terrible at grammer. Won't be home until July 7th. There's always next year.
we're TOTALLY in! my husband is going to LOVE this! of course that means i totally have to clean the living room first :-/
This will be the throwback to childhood he needs! i've also challenged a couple of our friends! we don't have a video camera…but DO have a camera! i'm pretty pumped! pretty sure the dog/cats aren't going to be thrilled
Go peoples!!
