Boxes

Boxes are awesome. They have so many great uses. Once when I was a kid, my mom got a new fridge. Now fridge boxes are just about the best boxes you can get, and my dad helped us make a submarine out of it. It had a parascope, dials and switches, a hatch on top and it was spray painted silver. We had it for a long time until it rained (we were in AZ at the time so it was a good while) We loved that Submarine. Years later, while living in Ohio, mom got a new upright freezer. That was a BIG box. We made a spaceship out of it and kept it in our basement for a long time until dad built us a "real" spaceship in the corn crib and we abandoned our box. Anyway, boxes are just COOL. Even little ones I suppose. Yesterday I got a shipment from the photolab with a medium sized box. Today, Ella, Wesley and I transformed it with our imagination into a boat, a magic carpet, a hiding place for hide and seek, and after it was torn apart during a particularly turbulent carpet ride, a set of space wings. The box is now in the trash, but we had a fun morning!
