Cardboard Town

My sister and I made tunnels and houses out of refrigerator boxes spread all over the basement. It kept the neighbor kids and us busy for weeks planning and decorating our cardboard boxes.  It all culminated in a mega slumber party in our little cardboard town.

Playing Elevator in the Closet

Kids love small spaces. I used to play elevator in the closet, pushing all the coats to one side. Every 10 minutes or so my mom would come by asking for a lift to the second floor.

Loving You like a Sister

My daughter is an only child and I wanted her to have a sister like I do, so we turned out-of-state cousins into sisters by having the kids spend a big part of the summer together, vacationing throughout the year together and by paying for unlimited long distance on our phone so Emily, Elaine and Meg could watch cartoons ear to ear on Saturday mornings.
