Jack and Jill have 8,000 toys and what's the most fun? A blanket, of course. I think it looks like the makings of a Snuffleupagus. DH, however, thinks it looks like a green blob consuming children.

At first I thought it was some kind of Christmas tree! So funny. Yep, blankets or boxes, who needs toys. We always used to make a nice fortress out of sheets or blankets. Hours of fun!
That is common practice around here. My son will drag his 5 blankets out here and play in them. It actually drives me nuts because of the dog. I don't want to have to wash them every day because the dog was laying on them.
An ongoing tale of our most excellent (and terrifying) adventure yet.. adoption via foster care. This is a journey Darling Husband and I started with Nantie ("Nanny-Auntie" - a blessing from above) in 2007. Although she moved in 2010, we miss her dearly and so appreciate all she did while here.
We also have a herd of rescued canines, fear the Lord and laugh a lot.
August, 2011: Seven amazing placements and a week after we were told LittleBuddy and SweetPea were available for us to adopt, my husband passed away unexpectedly.
April, 2012: I had the honor of adopting my darling 7 year old son (Little Buddy) and 3 1/2 year old sister (SweetPea). I awoke the following day a 40something, widowed single mommy... and couldn't of been happier.
In 1999, a year after my own mother passed away I found out I, myself, was an adopted county baby. Life has some ironic twists but we all seem to come Full Circle
This is our story.

I like it! This is why I never buy toys!

My son does the same thing....has a ton of his own toys, but would rather play with measuring tape or the vacuum attachments...go figure.

Normal kids, the simplest things can keep them happy
Why absolutely! Children are miraculous that way. Boxes, blankets, ribbons and such provide endless delight....and make a fabulous Snuffy!
