The Party

We did a combined birthday party for my boys this year. It was supposed to be N's turn but since he wasn't too pleasant on his actual birthday,

I decided three-year-olds aren't ready for mass present reception and we went with the combined party, no gifts.

Since we have so many boxes I decided we'd build a box city at the party. This is part of the reason I couldn't just call it off after N's shenanigans at the family party. This was the perfect plan to re-use my boxes (and be forgiven by mother earth for the carbon footprint of those pants...maybe).

Cousin D really got into the whole thing
Creating the building of their choice

The nice thing about moving so much, is that you only have to be slightly creative once, then you can do it over and over...
N loved using the glue

It really got fun when we pulled the basket of matchbox cars out.
