Not a box

I mentioned we had dinner with our friends Saturday. I have to mention it again, the food and company were really good. And they had just bought some furniture. Which everyone knows comes with a toy for the kids. This is their new clubhouse/boat....whatever, but it is not a box. My friend even had a book titled Not a Box. My boys love *not* boxes. We currently have "trains" in each of their rooms - housing all the baby dolls that are going on a ride and a "house" in Nathans room with doors and windows. I've even seen another friend build a three room, two story (really!) house with the reinforced stove/dishwasher/ boxes. The kids could sit in the top story. The not a box really is much more fun that the useless item that only does one thing that came in it. I however couldn't get the other kid in there. He was having too much fun launching the play lawn mower down the slide.

I love this funny picture, and it intrigues me as well. Nathan and Sam look more like siblings than Nathan and Andrew.
