Home for a Hurricane Day

Today school was canceled in my district due to the threat of Tropical Storm Isaac. Now that Parker is in preschool, his school was also closed. Thankfully we have not had much in the way of a tropical storm. Just rain and a few power surges. But, since we are home together, we've made a day of it!

Our morning began with muffins and a movie. Then we went to the mall for a playdate at the new playplace followed by lunch of chicken nuggets, fries, ketchup and fruit- Parker's fav.

I have been wanting to build a fort with this rather large box we have that had our new patio furniture in it. Sooo, we got crafty!

We cut the windows for some light and peeking. Parker used all sorts of colored crayons and made his roof. Then we went crazy with his favorite characters using stickers - Toy Story, Cars and bugs. I used some leftover scrapbook pages and created shutters for the windows. Lastly, we put up some artwork inside using some of his coloring pages of Toy Story and dinos.

An hour and a half later, here is the end result:

Check out that colorful roof
