  1. Oh I remember when my kids were this age

  3. Yes they do love the boxes most at that age and they do outgrow it. Is that a good thing? Boxes are cheap, shop at a box store and save yourself some money while you still can. Teeheehee.

    Love, that last pic of little G...look at that smile right at mommy and that shirt w/ diaper looks is one of my favorite toddler styles! :)

  7. Yep, that's the way it always goes! One of my favorite books growing up was about a little girl adn her adventures with a big empty box. :o)

    Hey, fill me in on the DFW Blogger Dinner!

  8. Doesn't it always happen that way? I try to remind myself of that every year when I am shopping for their Christmas gifts. ;)

  9. So true! I have contemplated just getting them boxes from the grocery store one year.

    :)

    Great pictures, you have to scrap this, it would be awesome!

  12. My MIL said she was going to send Izzy a box with tissue paper and little goodies since she enjoyed that so much!

    Look at those handsome boys.

  15. We could all save ourselves a lot of money, couldn't we?

    ReplyDelete

  16. There's nothing quite like boys and their boxes, lol. Mine are the exact same way. It's so fun to watch!!

    ReplyDelete

  17. Ha, isn't that the TRUTH! I think they should add this tid-bit in the 'WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOUR EXPECTING' book. Skip the toys, go for the box.

    I must say the little guy in diapers is just SO STINKING CUTE Elaine!

    ReplyDelete

  18. but there are so many possibilities with a box!

    ReplyDelete

  19. I hate that about boys. Mine still plays with a fridge box he got 2 years ago. What's the fun in that?

    ReplyDelete

  20. I believe that's the law -- it might even be a commandment.

    ReplyDelete

  21. That is sooo true! Nothing makes my girls happier than a big empty box.

    ReplyDelete

  23. Yup... the best toys my kids have ever gotten was the box. Go figure!

    Great pics Elaine!

    ReplyDelete

  24. I remember LOVING boxes until I was probably 10. they were so much fun!!

    The boys look like they are having a blast!

    ReplyDelete

  25. So true. Mia entertained herself with an empty pasta box the other day for nearly 30 minutes while I cooked dinner. Why do we bother with all the research and spending?

    ReplyDelete

  27. So cute! They look so amused.

    ReplyDelete

  28. I love these pix! And it took me like 29 times to get on your page. What is up with that?!

    ReplyDelete

  29. Yup, that's pretty much what Christmas looked like at our house this year, lol.

    They're super cute :)

    ReplyDelete

  30. So CUTE!

    Have a good weekend - Kellan

  31. Makes you wonder why we ever buy them actual toys!!

    ReplyDelete

  32. that's because, as every child knows,there is NOTHING like a good cardboard box!

    ReplyDelete

  33. Ah-the love of a BOX!!
    Adorable pictures!!

    I wish it was THAT warm here.

    ReplyDelete

  34. Kids and boxes! Why do we even buy toys, hey?

    ReplyDelete

  35. Boxes are the next best thing to ice cream around our house.

    The Little Imp's Christmas pressies held her attention for maybe 5 minutes before she was tearing into the boxes and building new dolly beds with them or hiding in them.

    She learned pretty quickly though that if she left the boxes alone for too long, the cats invaded and tried to claim them as their own! Talk about a territory war!

  36. You must have been shopping on Amazon! We have that paper too from the boxes!

  37. Good Blog, I think I want to find me, I will tell my other friends, on all!
