The Cardboard Box and DIY crafts

Seriously… when your toddler wakes up with the look of the Devil in his eyes… what do you do? Put him in a cardboard box with some crayons. Amen, Hallelujah. I saw this idea on Pinterest awhile back and thought it was “cute”, but for real- this was thought up by a creative stressed out mama (or an artistic one;)


Today just started off wrong. I’m sure everyone’s had those days, but holy cow. 5:30 AM on the dot, this kid was rearing and ready to destroy. Turns out, he just had to poop, but until that happened… this cardboard box deal= life saver! Turned out to be a pretty nice opportunity to snap some shots, too ^_^.


Honestly, I can’t even remember what life was like before Elijah. What on earth did I take pictures of? Obviously none of it was as beautiful as this tiny human I created, that’s for sure. I can’t help but to admire his tiny features. He has so much of his daddy in him, and occasionally I see a glimpse of myself- but really.. he’s his own little person.


Who would have thunk it, a card board box and crayons… This boy was happier than a bird with a french fry. Not necessarily because he understood that he was allowed to draw on things, but because he’s perfecting his fine little motor skills… ( so he CAN draw on things.. like walls and cupboards… *shuddering at the thought*) Thank God for chalk paint! :))
