Boxes!

So every kid knows that the best part of their mom and dad getting a "big" new toy is that it comes in a big box that is almost always more fun than what mom and dad actually bought.

First, there was the ceremonial throwing of popcorn from one of the accessory boxes...This event could have lasted HOURS.

Look at this face - I am considering taking back the toys and just wrapping up the leftovers from this box!

Who needs clothes to play in peanuts?

Then, we got to color and decorate the really big box. Meredith decided it should be a firetruck, complete with tires, a steering wheel, windows - and now we have even added paper "sirens" to the top! Now, I am just not sure how to convince her that her firetruck is not going to be a permanent fixture in our hallway!
