Tree Forts and Friends

Abby and Isaac who really are truly the best of friends, our 10 and 12 olds respectively, have built themselves a tree fort. 


They even have a pulley with a basket to summon their little sister when they need a snack.   I love looking out the window from the kitchen seeing them together, often working on their academic work.   Now to just keep encouraging them to build some short side rails......

Warm wishes, Tonya

Also, Two Little Seeds if having a giveaway for two of my knit gnomes.

  6. That is just so great!
    I always wished my brother and were closer in age and did more things like this together when we were young!

  7. I always wished for one. How wonderful it must be to see this, the expression of their brotherhood + love.. and sharing of experiences.

  9. one of the most rewarding memories I have is having built a tree house with my own 2 hands! what an accomplishment for a child...to conquer fear & figure it out.

  11. What an awesome tree house - it reminds me of one we built with our cousins when we were growing up - the boys built it so high that it was pretty scary going up - but it was awesome to be 30 feet off the ground...

  12. I love this Tonya. So sweet. My second son and oldest daughter have always been best of friends.
    I'd be wanting those side rails too.
    Blessings,

  13. That is a dream of mine, or perhaps any mama, to have their children be the best of friends. I encourage my young ones to treat their siblings well and to stand up for them. A sibling is such a special thing in one's life...a real treasure. I visited Two Little Seeds just after I was hoping to buy some of your sweet little gnomes...now my fingers are crossed!
