I ordered a little train for the boys...it came in the mail the other day. It came in a HUGE box...filled with packing peanuts. I was letting the boys dig into the box to find what I had ordered...but instead of being excited about what I'd ordered, they were excited about the packing peanuts that were inside. At first they spilled a few on the floor...before long the entire box was on the floor. Packing peanuts were everywhere....
I did what every good mom should do.....
I let them play!!
I let them play!!
They rolled in them....
made snow angels in them...
threw them in the air...
threw them in the air...
and picked them out of their mouths!
We must have played with them for an hour. It was a blast. (Daddy was at work...so he missed it all!) Then, we worked together to pick every bit of it up. The boys were great helpers. Connor even asked to vaccuum. He did an awesome job...even told me that it could be one of his chores from now on.
By the way...did you know that packing peanuts can break into a thousand and one pieces....and they stick to EVERYTHING!!! Oh well, it was worth it!
