Oh I remember when my kids were this age
too cute
now they really do like what is inside more
Tiaras and Tantrums says
boxes are best!
Kimber says
Yes they do love the boxes most at that age and they do outgrow it. Is that a good thing? Boxes are cheap, shop at a box store and save yourself some money while you still can. Teeheehee.
Megryansmom says
Cute pictures. Here’s a mystery for you…your blog won’t load from my blog list, but loads fine from my Google reader. I’m not amused internet!
Eudea-Mamia says
Ah, soooo cute!!
Especially the pantless one ๐ a look we rock around here, a lot.
Jaimee says
LOL…It’s fun to see them doing things you remember having fun with when you were a kid, huh?
Love, that last pic of little G…look at that smile right at mommy and that shirt w/ diaper looks is one of my favorite toddler styles! ๐
Kat says
Doesn’t it always happen that way? I try to remind myself of that every year when I am shopping for their Christmas gifts. ๐
Christina says
Yep, that’s the way it always goes! One of my favorite books growing up was about a little girl adn her adventures with a big empty box. :o)
Hey, fill me in on the DFW Blogger Dinner!
Kami says
So true! I have contemplated just getting them boxes from the grocery store one year.
๐
Great pictures, you have to scrap this, it would be awesome!
Octamom says
That’s the best part of the gift!
Blessings!
Izzy 'N Emmy says
The same happens at our house…every year. LOL! Next year I am going to wise up and wrap empty boxes. LO!L
Krystyn says
My MIL said she was going to send Izzy a box with tissue paper and little goodies since she enjoyed that so much!
Look at those handsome boys.
Natalie says

Monkey's Momma says
We could all save ourselves a lot of money, couldn’t we?
Shannon says
There’s nothing quite like boys and their boxes, lol. Mine are the exact same way. It’s so fun to watch!!
MamaGeek @ Works For Us says
Ha, isn’t that the TRUTH! I think they should add this tid-bit in the ‘WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOUR EXPECTING’ book. Skip the toys, go for the box.
I must say the little guy in diapers is just SO STINKING CUTE Elaine!
Rachael says
but there are so many possibilities with a box!
Anglophile Football Fanatic says
I hate that about boys. Mine still plays with a fridge box he got 2 years ago. What’s the fun in that?
Chris says
I believe that’s the law — it might even be a commandment.
3 Girls and a Daddy says
That is sooo true! Nothing makes my girls happier than a big empty box.
Lori of I'm no super Mom says
That is tooooooo CUTE!
OHmommy says
Yup… the best toys my kids have ever gotten was the box. Go figure!
Great pics Elaine!
Mrs. S says
I remember LOVING boxes until I was probably 10. they were so much fun!!
The boys look like they are having a blast!
Susan says
So true. Mia entertained herself with an empty pasta box the other day for nearly 30 minutes while I cooked dinner. Why do we bother with all the research and spending?
Beth says
So cute and so true!
Joelle says
So cute! They look so amused.
jill jill bo bill says
I love these pix! And it took me like 29 times to get on your page. What is up with that?!
..::Mrs. Staff Sergeant::.. says
Yup, that’s pretty much what Christmas looked like at our house this year, lol.
They’re super cute ๐
Kellan says
So CUTE!
Have a good weekend – Kellan
Lorie says
Makes you wonder why we ever buy them actual toys!!
Carrie and Troy Keiser says
that’s because, as every child knows,there is NOTHING like a good cardboard box!
โฅspoiled mommyโฅ says
Ah-the love of a BOX!!
Adorable pictures!!
I wish it was THAT warm here.
Angella says
Kids and boxes! Why do we even buy toys, hey?
Auds at Barking Mad says
Boxes are the next best thing to ice cream around our house.
The Little Imp’s Christmas pressies held her attention for maybe 5 minutes before she was tearing into the boxes and building new dolly beds with them or hiding in them.
She learned pretty quickly though that if she left the boxes alone for too long, the cats invaded and tried to claim them as their own! Talk about a territory war!
Tiff says
You must have been shopping on Amazon! We have that paper too from the boxes!
intelligence says
Good Blog, I think I want to find me, I will tell my other friends, on all!
