What is it about an empty cardboard box that captivates children? In all of my years on this old earth, it's always been my experience that
all children love to play in boxes! Sometimes our own children played with the empty box longer than they played with the toy that came inside of the box!
My daughter needed a few empty boxes, so a couple of weeks ago, my husband came home from work bringing an empty cardboard box. On that particular day both of the grandchildren were visiting. Can you guess what happened next??!
It wasn't long before one grandchild, whose name happens to be Madison, gravitated toward the empty box, and soon began having some fun! It wasn't long before...
a second grandchild, whose name is Caden, gravitated toward the box and the child, who was now happily playing inside of the box!
Before long, both grandkids were taking turns playing "Peek-a-Boo" from inside of the box...They also sat inside of it pretending that it was a car...and then they turned the box over and fell out of it laughing!
Proving my theory, once again, "the more some things change, the more others stay the same"...ONE EMPTY BOX plus A CHILD, OR TWO, equals FUN!
Easter happiness is gathering together with family, to color eggs at MiMi's house--and getting to stand up in the kitchen chair while doing it!
and it's dropping that first boiled egg into a cup of egg dye...ker plunk!
Happiness is also making a little mess with the egg dye...before deciding that I'd really rather go outside to play!
Easter happiness is...eating one of Brandy's Easter cookies with a popscicle stick!
Easter happiness is...emptying the entire bag of goodies, from MiMi and E, to see what all is in there! 
and best of all, Easter happiness is finding those hidden Easter eggs...in the strangest places!
