Ah, the power boxes hold over children...the kiddos kept dumping their wooden blocks out of the too-little-for-sitting-in basket and trying to do just that. The poor basket was not having a good morning! I'm pretty fond of that basket, so, using my magnificent mom-brainpower, I cut the side out of a wipees box and saved the day! Yeah, pretty good... Except then there was actually MORE fighting, but whatever, they had fun. Boxes slide very quickly, as I'm sure y'all are aware of, and Nuala and Bran loved zooming across the tile floor. It reminded me of when I was young and my siblings and I would slide down our stairs in boxes or on cardboard. Or sleeping bags. Or anything. Oh, the carpet-burns!

Now that's entertainment! My number 5 child, Daniel, loved boxes so much he slept in one for a year! When he was naughty I'd say...go get in your box! He would laugh and race like a madman and leap into it! I LOVE the new photos on the page. Those kids are quite photogenic.
boxes always seem to draw alot of attention!! Costco runs seem to produce many of them and for the next week Mathias feels like he is in box Heaven. Bran and Nuala sure look like there Enjoying theres!!
Look at those smiles! You're right the box is a little small for both, need to upgrade to a diaper box!
As kids we would slide down the stairs (they didn't have carpet) in our pillows.
hahaha! That last one remindes me of one my mom has of Ben and myself in a box.
I have tons of memories with all the different boxes we had to play with as kids. A refrigerator box for a playhouse (crayons to decorate it with). When that got old it turned into a huge slide with one end caved down. quite a lot of fun.
And definitely sliding down stairs in boxes is fun!
Funny. Is this the box they were arguing over when I called? It looks like they are having quite the good time.
Yep, this little box was the source of all that commotion! and, ouch, no carpet? Good thing you were in pillows, Roshelle! Yeah, I need to break out some more and bigger boxes...all the nice, sturdy, big ones we had from when our stuff came would be golden right now.
That's so cute! I can't believe we were allowed to slide down the stairs like that, it sounds so dangerous now...
Boxes are the best. Gwen is almost 4 now and still loves playing in boxes. She likes to be closed in it and we pretend to mail her to nonna's house and she pops out. Why do we even bother spending the money on fancy toys when they'll play with a box and a roll of scotch tape far longer??
Your little ones are so beautiful/handsome. I love seeing all the fun things you are up to. What a good mommy you are Fiona! Very creative!
