Box or content?

When the boys where younger, I remember that they frequently had as much fun with the box as with the content, and it still continues. It is a rare day that they do not find a new use for something that was destined for the trash bin had it not been rescued by creative and eager hands.

This week Noah received a new computer. His old one simply gave up, there was no easy fix, and any possible fix had a low likelihood of resolving the trouble. Noah tracked the package more carefully and more frequently than any child track Santa's travel  on Christmas Eve, daily and sometimes hourly he would log on to UPS to see where the desired package was. It finally arrived and he quickly set out to get his PC up and running. On and off there were things that had to run on the computer to get it operational and the boys wasted no time but dove head first into the box and the many fun odd shaped packing materials that comes with a computer.  My shutter finger was not fast enough to capture it all, but they had so much fun that the new computer had to sit and patiently blink for a bit before it was given its due respect again.

Needless to say, this was a super fun and exciting afternoon in the Severinghaus household.
