Boys With Their Toys....

If I'm counting right Christmas was only 12 days ago and I have to say that these 4 boys got a lot of stuff!! They got a new computer, their still favorite gift of Leapsters which they have hardly put down, a tool workbench and tons of really cool tools from Aunt Kim, Lightening McQueen toys,MagnaTiles, Unit Blocks for building and enough new DVD's to stock their own branch of Blockbuster. Santa even brought them Crocs along with Jibbitz. They got all of that and more in Iowa and then Santa left them some things in Illinois under the tree too! Remote control cars, a huge sled, a bow and arrow...(don't worry Aunt Glo...it's a soft harmless one!!) They even got extra cash from Grandpa to spend on whatever they DIDN'T get... (which Logan immediately came home and spent on more Lightening McQueen accessories!) We made a run to Costco to get who knows what (I THINK maybe their cheap bananas...and came home with a carload of stuff....I do know that Costco got the better end of that deal!) Well...we found the best, most luxurious, the sturdiest, most entertaining toy of them all and brought it home from Costco. What do you think it was....??? A BANANA BOX!! These boys played with it and in it for hours....They used it as a car, used it as a wagon, used it as a fort, used it as a house, stacked it with another box and made it a tow truck...had a puppet show... the list goes on and on. Now why didn't we discover this love of boxes two weeks ago and save ourselves a lot of shopping, a lot of trouble and a lot of expense?! We finally took the box away tonight and the old standby favorite reappeared...I caught them all sitting in my office chair playing Leapsters again.....
