Living in L.A.

Why is it that a kid's favorite toy is a big, cardboard box?  Since having kids we have gone through our share of cardboard boxes.  They LOVE them.  I have yet to see my kids spend as much time playing with a toy we spent real money on than the time they can spend playing with a cardboard box.  They will use them until they are literally shrivels of paper.  And any parent that can get their hands on a refrigerator box and a pair of scissors will become a hero in three minutes flat.

Well our neighbors got a new washer and dryer and Mike was quick on taking the boxes before they threw them away.  The girls, within minutes, had turned them into their dream homes.  That night they begged us to let them sleep in their "houses", so we let them.

After putting them to bed I thought about the irony of my kids begging to sleep in a cardboard box.  They really are trying to experience life in L.A. to the fullest. ;) 

I guess they have a little bit more Miller in them than I thought...already preparing for the worst.  It's a good thing they have some of me in them too, or they would probably be out front digging fox holes and filling them full of food storage. ;)
