She was trying to talk me into staying home from my bible study so I could just stay in the fort with her and Veronica. I told her I'd be back before she knew it, and I PROMISED I would go back in the fort with them! When I was "all ready" to join them, I made hot cocoa for us and I let them have some other snacks. Might as well go all out, right? I kept telling them to keep it down so the boys wouldn't come out and want to see what we were up to. Is that mean? Anyway, we started taking pictures of us in the fort with my cell phone. My camera flash on my cell is so bright. It's literally like using a regular camera! We were laughing at alot of them because some of them came out so funky. We couldn't see when we were taking the pictures because it was too dark to make out our faces on the screen. Some of them had our body parts missing or chopped off, and in some of them our eyes are so squinty! I did endure, and slept in the fort ALL NIGHT. I woke up with a little ache in my back, but that's okay. I know my daughter was so happy that I did this with them! Honestly, so am I!! Moments like those are priceless!
My girls!
Trying to get a decent picture in the dark!
She had to approve the pictures of herself because she knew I was going to blog about it! Girls!
They wanted to take a picture that looked like they were sleeping!

That looks like a blast! What a great memory!
You are such a great mom to do that. You made more than priceless photo ops- you made a special memory. Thanks for sharing. It reminds me it is okay to be a little uncomfortable and have fun with the kids. They will remember that for a long, long time!
This is something they will remember forever! As I'm sure you will to! What a fun thing to do with your girls. A "girls night out" indeed!

I LOVED this post Alicia! How fun and soooooooooooo sweet! You're right.....these moments are priceless!
I remember the fort making days and my kids do it too and oh when I participate I can feel your back pain, truly a time we will miss.
That is so cute and fun! Good job sticking it out!
Oh, and yeah, I took tylenol for my back (I'm breastfeeding).
What a fun Mom you are : ). Your girls are so creative. We used to love making tents in the living room when I was little. We always had to let my brother play though. I am sure it would have been much more fun if it was a girls only tent : ).
Fun, fun.
