Kids are so creative. Do they really don't need a bunch of toys, and nick knacks at Christmas? Most everything gets forgotten in the toy boxes anyway. In fact I really tried to get my hands on a refrigerator box, so I could give that to my kids for Christmas. My children could log soooo many hour on playing with card board, hmmm....there's sliding down the stairs on it, or racing with a brother down the stairs on two cardboard slabs, (which is their personal favorite, to my torment of course), shutting themselves in, and getting pushed around the house at top speeds, (which can get scary when you have an 80 pound-er pushing a 35 pound younger sibling, I think a lot of the time the younger ones put up with the torment just to be apart of the older brother crowd), of course there's always turning them upside down punching air holes, and playing some alien game, oh and this ones the loudest of them all, we have this cardboard barrel that they love to get inside and be violently pushed around in. The more crazy, and violent the better I think. There are so many more things they think of, this is just off the top of my head.
Last year they used cardboard as sleds! It was very funny, lets just say it wasn't always smooth sailing!! lol. We don't have a steep driveway, in fact its pretty flat, but with the packed snow on it they figured out last year that if they get a running start they can get pretty good momentum down the drive on just about anything. Cody found out the hard way that sliding on his knees was not a good idea, because the next day he was so sore he could barely walk. Later this week there wasn't enough sleds for everyone to play on so they grabbed shovels, and tried doing sort of a snowboarding thing down the driveway. So I am left to wonder whats the point of all the expensive presents?????
