thinking inside the box

the boys have been watching a lot of Pinky Dinky Doo recently, which involves a girl making up stories in her "story box".  so when i saw the huge box for a new biological safety cabinet at work, i *had* to claim it for them... which amused some of my coworkers since our commuter car is a prius.  however, i managed to get it broken down and into the car yesterday, thankyouverymuch, and the husband brought it in for them this morning.

there really is no greater toy than a big cardboard box.  forget Toys R Us~ i think this year our holiday shopping will be at the dumpster behind Appliance Solutions!
