Best Toy Ever....aka the cardboard box

Couple things. I know that it is a universal truth and all but......a cardboard box is the BEST TOY EVER. Lil'Bug's eyes lit up and she went to town, barely stopping to eat dinner. She eventually asked for duct tape and modifications (ie, taped secure with door cut out) AND she asked this of Daddy and not Mama, bah.

She imagined it was a house.

She imagined it was a car.

She went to outer space and visited the moon and Mars.

She packed her lunch. Chicken meat and milk and faerie sugar. The cow is a convienient container for milk, she explained that it stays fresh. LOL.

Then she decided I must be hungry too, so she raided the fridge for apples and pig meat (ham). Future farmer, that one.

She is too funny. She asked me to take her picture so she's always remember her friend box.

Ah, childhood.

The box is completely mangled by play now. Duct tape just will not save the day. I will be sad when it goes out on Monday to the great beyond of trash day.



Best toy ever for Mama? Ya, what came in the box. A 12 cup food processor, with a three cup insert for small stuff. Hello pizza night. Hello homemade butter. Pumpkin Soup puree? IN ONE BATCH! Wouldn't think 4 cups difference would make such a difference but it most assuredly does.
