The Box

Not long ago,
I was at my mom's and noticed a beautiful toy box.
I made a comment how beautiful it was
and it wasn't long after...
She and Daddy gave us this~

What makes it so special?
The cedar it is made from was cut by my daddy on his farm
and taken to a friend of his who makes boxes.
I LOVE it!!!

Another reason I love it is...
when this little one plays like this~


I can let go of my once OCD toy clean up
and just throw it all in the Toy Box!!!
Why did I think organizing each kind of toy in a basket
was necessary???
There is no need...
This beautiful Toy Box has freed us from clean up CRAZINESS!!!
Thank you mama and daddy!!!

Adoption Update~
Today we buckled up

and drove to Kinko's
to make copies of our dossier~

so that when we come home
from our vacation next weekend,
everything will be in place to get our dossier to China!

  11. It is a beautiful toy box-I might be tempted to use it for linen if it was in my house. The basket thing is a really good idea....if you don't have children :-)
