The other day one of our neighbors bought an air conditioner. He came out with the box and was taking it to the dumpster. I asked him how come he didn't let his kids play with it first as it was a perfect size for playing with. He looked at me like I was crazy. So then I asked him if we could have it. He said he would give it to me but he had already thrown garbage in it. And so off to the dumpster it went.
This week at work pallets are coming in like crazy. One of them was a pallet of mat board. And it was all in one box. Well I thought about it for about two minutes and decided that box needed to come home and be turned into something before it got recycled. The only thing I needed to buy was a box knife.
Audrie and Trystan went to work on it. Audrie got upset a few times, but Trystan persisted and the box became a house. They did a pretty good job with the materials on hand and just using their minds. No advance planning, Just winging it. I think they plan on adding finishing touches tomorrow.
But for tonight Audrie wanted to know if we could bring it in so she could sleep in it.
