Cardboard

I don't know why Jason and I bother buying toys for our kids-- they rarely play with them. They are, however, constantly making things.  Cardboard is the new medium of choice around here,which means any and all cardboard boxes from cereal boxes to shoe boxes to package boxes are pretty much all put to use in one project or another. And our recycle bin gets checked regularly in case I have tried to sneak a box out there without them seeing (something I admit to doing as often as I can...I sometimes think there are only so many cardboard creations one home needs at a time, but I am clearly in the minority in this thought.) The project on these couple of days were robots. Logan even helped Eli to make one, something that of course made my heart very happy.

You are such a great mom to allow all this creative play. I for one remember how much mess this involves. Good job for everyone

I love that they do it together. Do you remember family projects you all did? The magic and puppet shows I got to watch. And when we got a video camera you all could use, you made "movies'. The memories of those times make my eyes a bit misty.
