A Big Cardboard Box

We finally bought a filing cabinet for the office. Once Dave unpacked the box, I knew I had an exciting activity for the next day!
Here's how we started after breakfast . . . a house, even with doors!
But after naps, it became so much more! A slide, a ramp, a wedge for doing forward rolls and flips! (You can see we have also had at least one outfit change that day. Let me just say that Anna Kate had 3 outfits, not including 2 different pjs, on today!)

I have to say, to my credit, that I did have the girls move the box to the living room. At least in the living room there is a little carpet. Of course, the couch is there, too, which seemed like a great diving board. I didn't let that jumping last long . . . I mean, how many times can you jump on an empty cardboard box and expect it to work? I do have these thoughts during times like this about what exactly I would say if someone got really hurt and I had to explain to a doctor what the girls were doing . . . "using an empty cardboard box as a slide, of course. Oh, and sometimes doing forward rolls down that slide. Don't you do that, too?"
