The Thrills of a Box

After receiving a large package in the mail, we were left with a giant empty cardboard box in the middle of the living room.  Is there a better way to entertain three kids 5 and under on a rainy Saturday?  If so, it probably costs money and requires the parents to get ready (aka shower). 

So while Krystal and I were doing much more important things (read: fixing our blogs), the kids were plenty busy climbing, closing, playing, ripping, drawing and imagining with the blankest of canvases. 

A cardboard box big enough for kids to climb in is by FAR the best toy money doesn't buy.
