Boxes? Or houses?

Today was a pretty fun day! The kids and I got up around 9AM, always nice to snooze in a little. Got up had a little coffee and then took the boxes that were supposed to be for packing and made them into......HOUSES! Now I've officially decided for Christmas this year the kids are getting boxes. These brown boxes were the key to my sanity and quietness for the good portion of the day. The kids drew on the outside of their "houses" , drew paintings on the inside, took blankets and pillows and talked to each other from their windows. They were so cute.

Ava and I had some good quality time tonight, Pepper went to bed pretty early and Ava came in my room and sang to me while I was facebooking! I love having kids they are so precious to me. Pepper is my heart. He is such an old soul. He even thinks so. We recorded him playing with his cars and we played it back to him five minutes later he said "was that me when I was a baby?" "I look so small there!" He is my little helper. Today he rinsed all the dishes for me and all I had to do was put them in the dishwasher.

Ava is my light. She brightens up everyone with her funny antics and sweet disposition. She loves to sing to EVERYONE and she can make you giggle no matter how mad you are with just one of her little finger points.

I am the luckiest woman alive.

That's it in a nutshell......for today

  1. I love box houses! We used to go to a WT Grant store and drag washing machine and refrig. boxes back home and make believe that they were our houses next door to each other. What a wonderful memory. It only takes a little imagination, and we're all set.
