Since it was so cold today and we needed to do some after the holidays cleanup downstairs still, we had to come up with something fun to do as well. I remembered making cardboard cars to sit in and watch a movie. I remembered living it. We have lits of various sized boxes left over from Christmas and birthdays. So, it only made sense to use a couple of the medium/large boxes to have Gavin and Dane turn into cars. Gavin was thrilled when I mentioned my idea. He was more than happy to test out the boxes as I worked on cleaning up and reorganizing my office/exercise room.
After lunch, we got the boxes set up and they did a little decorating. Gavin had a great time decorating his. Dane mostly decorated himself and the floor, but he did have fun. Then we picked out the movie to watch when we were done downstairs.
They helped me quickly finish cleaning up and then we got settled in with some popcorn (thank you Uncle Morris for the variety tin, we all are very much enjoying it!). They picked Cars. Even though we have seen it a lot, it was fun to watch them enjoy it from their cars (although Dane only periodically watched from his car)!
Gavin was driving with one hand and eating popcorn and drinking water with the other. He cracks me up!
I have no idea how long the cars will last, but they are really enjoying them for now and when they are done, they will be sent off to be recycled, again!
