The Art of Fort Construction

I think the kids have it all nailed down, and they have gotten pretty good at it, just ask them.
They spent all day on New Years Eve, as well as New Years Day building their multi room building, and I even let them stay in their pj's, but then made them change into clean ones to go to a friends house for a night playing games, and tired children!
Tell me what you think, and add any constructive criticism, and I will pass it on. I'm sure they would love to make it even better.
Since we have moved an abundance of times in our lifetime, we have a huge collection of boxes, boxes the children look at like they struck gold. With puppy dog eyes, they kindly asked to use a few boxes to make an addition to their fort, hence allowing each child their own bedroom.
Take notice of the well constructed "mock" steel beams

...or little wooden chairs.

Good quality sheet rock
They even had nails

A time when they are thankful for big heavy books.

Topped off with a nice roofOliver is sent in to test the stability

He comes out fine, so off they go!

Shhhhh, we won't tell Dawson I posted this picture
