1 day, 2 boxes and 3 little boys

**Pictures galore!** (You've been warned.)

I had both of my nephews today. Gabe, 3, and Noah, 7. Last week when I just had Gabe we made a fort out of this box and some chairs, but it wasn't very big inside. Well, while relocating it from the living room to the family room so that the piano tuner could actually get to the piano - Cameron and I discovered that this hallway is the perfect size to hold this box and make a nice fort. The boys (and I) loved it! Noah and I even colored it. Look closely at the warning on the side that Noah wrote.  
This is the boys inside
Then, Noah decided that we needed a rocket ship to go with the fort. So, I scrounged up another box and him and Cameron created this little beauty.

It had a tail fin and everything.
Fixing up the door.
Going for rides.
Jake's turn!
Then, Gabe and I took a break from all the box fun to play with some Play Dough while Noah and Cameron played with the Wii.
Gabe making a waffle. 
We made some pretty realistic food! It was really fun.
This cracked me up. Did you ever talk into the fan when you were a kid? It makes your voice sound funny. Anyway, Gabe got a kick out of it.
Then the ship needed to be repaired...
Oh, and notice I put it on a dolly? 
It fit perfectly and helped them to give each other rides around the house.
Peek-A-Boo
Even Major got a ride... and Jake kind of stood there. It was cute.

Boxes are so fun, once when I was little my parents bought a new TV and I used the box as a club house for like a week.
