Boxing Play

Do you remember when we got a new refrigerator when we were little? The box it came in was enormous and we got to keep it. Immediately, Buddy (our dad) got to work cutting out windows and doors. You and I got to work adding the decorative details with our crayons. It was play at its best. Imagination, creativity, cooperation and fun..all from a box.

Fast forward to New Jersey..the lanterns for my patio project were delivered yesterday yielding a pile of boxes. Before I knew it, the small and medium boxes were connected together, the Sharpies were flying, kids were arguing (negotiating?) and rules for "the box" were created. I loved every moment of it. All four kids (even the 6th grader) playing with boxes. Heaven.
