Crazy Forts

I know I have mentioned Carson's love of making forts and mentioned seeing something called Crazy Forts at Barnes & Noble.  Well I found the same Crazy Forts on Amazon for much cheaper and ordered them.  And has an added bonus I had an Amazon $5 gift card from Swagbucks....have you heard of that?  I honestly can't figure out how it works, but it is an Internet site that I visit daily.  I do a few different things (answer a poll question, click on their survey site, attempt to refer people and search) all to gain Swagbucks and then I redeem these Swagbucks for Amazon gift cards.  Crazy I know, but if you are interested let me know and I can refer you.  Anyways, we gave them to Andrew & Carson "from Alex" for being such good big brothers. 

 Here is Chad building the first Crazy Fort, an igloo fort.  (ignore Carson, who looks like he is shooting at me)  All it is is these balls and sticks that you use to build the fort walls and then put a sheet or blanket over it.  One bad thing about these is I thought the boys would be able to build them themselves but it is a little too difficult but they can definitely help build.
 Building the second layer.
 And then put a sheet on top!  All done.  Carson peeking out from inside the igloo fort.

 I wanted to get a picture of the boys inside the fort.  I asked them to look at the camera...

then I asked them to look at the camera without Andrew giving Carson bunny ears...
then I asked them too at least look happy!
 and these crazy grins is what I got!

Chad even climbed inside for a minute, but I think became a little claustrophobic and quickly climbed out.
Andrew & Carson have had fun with these forts.  They have even pulled sleeping bags inside and slept in the fort overnight a couple of times!
