I think I’ve started a Cardboard Box blog series.
Last night’s cardboard box creation: an airplane. It didn’t turn out too shabby considering it was my first attempt at an airplane. Maya seemed to like it, but asked that I make a helicopter next time.
Figures.
She later used the hood as a snack/drink tray while watching Lady and the Tramp.
Welcome to my life as a single mom. This is about as exciting as it gets.
For now.

Any time there was a new and large cardboard box in my home – my parents would say “Michael’s got a new fort!” and so I did. It was my place – inside their place and no one could get inside my walls – except an invited friend.

Nice. Cardboard boxes are one of the best “toys” for a kid.

Thanks. I even made it without drinking first/during/after. I’m not sure I’ll be able to deliver on her helicopter request. Definitely need to post that disaster when it happens.

Very sweet of you. Thanks! I read through your q&a and you seem like a positive, upbeat person. Must admit, I don’t understand your sticker phobia. Is there a name for that? I have always wanted to travel to Scotland, though. Someday.
