Vroom! Vroom!

When I bought a box of diapers this morning, I had no idea that I was also buying an entire afternoon's entertainment for my three youngest kids as well. Once the box was emptied, Nathan and Matthew (who are on the very last day of their off-track) looked at it and saw great potential.

Before long, a few paper plates, several plastic cups and a handful of brads have transformed the box into a classic convertible for Malia, complete with steering wheel and tires that turn, head lights, a windshield and a place for Malia to insert her key. Once the auto was complete, Nathan and Matthew spent the next two hours pushing Malia around the house. They went shopping for books in the living room, bought groceries from Malia's kitchen and even watched a movie ("Tangled," of course) at the back-of-the-couch drive-in.






I love that I have creative offspring. I can even overlook the enormous pig sty they left in Malia's room (an entire shelf of books left on the floor as well as all the contents of her kitchen) because they played so well together all afternoon.
