Among the many words of wisdom my mother spoke to me this past week (when she wasn't getting on my case! ha ha) was the acronym KISS ("Keep It Simple, Stupid"). KISS is what helped me decide to leave the restaurant on my birthday and opt for pizza and beer instead, and KISS is what led to us eating a simple dinner of fish sticks, spinach and leftover mac & cheese on Tuesday night, after we opted to meet Judy and Taylor at the playground just before 5. And KISS is what inspired us to spend a morning playing with the new empty box from Diapers.com, the biggest box we've ever received. It works as a cave, a jack-in-the-box, a train, plane or car, a telephone booth (do they even exist anymore?), and even, dare I say, a coffin (yes, I know...we're going to have weird kids...it's okay, it's too late anyway...it's in their DNA). I don't think we've ever gotten any pictures of the girls as happy as they are playing with the box in these photos. Hmmm...wonder if I could save some money and just wrap up empty boxes for them for Christmas this year?! But that would probably be cruel, and would come back to haunt me later in life, the way my handmade Amish Cabbage Patch Knockoff continues to haunt mom to this day.

Oh, I get it. I thought you were giving a shout out to the band, KISS. Funny that came up too, because Mike and I were just e-mailing back and forth discussing our least favorite bands/musicians, and KISS came up. For a split second, I thought the girls were going to be dressed up as Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. I'm glad my initial thoughts turned out to be false. Great pictures too, by the way.
Do you remember Thomas and Zach's "boat" we had in the living room...it had the paddles and everything?? That was made entirely out of a Diaper.com box!!! Boxes are amazing. I have like 3 or 4 posts about the boys and boxes!!!! Love the KISS idea!
