When it rains...

When it rains, we find other ways to expel energy!   And, it just so happens that we recently upgraded our TV. (Don't get the wrong impression: my job isn't one that rakes in the money and pays SO MUCH that we are able to run out and buy the newest, latest, and greatest.  This purchase was carefully planned and saved up for. We are proud to be a family - and a business! - that pays for everything with cash.)

Anyway...
I knew this box was going to be an exciting new plaything for the kids!  I saved it and kept it hidden all last week just so I could introduce it at just the right time. And what a more perfect time to bring out the big box than on a rainy Monday, when the school-agers are out of school!  Perfect. :)

This box will become a beautiful house, I think. We'll break out the box cutter, paints, maybe even fabric curtains sometime next week.  But, I'm going to savor this exciting box while I can. So, babysteps! First, we simply enjoy the simplicity that a big box is:



Caleb approves of the bigger-than-life size box!

The big kids get "thrown" inside the box.

The addition of balls!

Hiding from Caleb, the "monster"

And the initiation of a ball fight!

Laughter, running, throwing, and even screaming!

I'm with you Caleb: Let's box 'em up and ship 'em out! :)
