Box

I believe that children don't need expensive toys (not that that stopped Santa from bringing the train set). Lucy had grown out of her carseat and I came home last Monday with a new one.  After the seat was out of the box the girls at once saw a zoo cage in it.  I cut some bars in one side and they asked for windows in the other.  They spent the rest of the day and much of this last week playing with it.

It finally snowed last night and the girls were soooo excited to get out in it (Ruby kept repeating, "I'm so excited").  It wasn't until I tried to open the door I realized this was not the typical snow that we were all envisioning.  No, it had a layer of freezing rain on top.  Now, they have been begging to go sledding, but we still don't have a sled (as we have no snow...).  But did I let that get in our way?  No.  I got the box out and I believe Anne enjoyed this even more than if she had been on a real sled.
