January 13, 2012 - Special boxes

Last summer as a project, my son picked out a wooden box and I helped him paint it light blue. He carries it every where, shows me his "secret toys", and hides it under his bed when its time to sleep. He keeps his favorite cars in there so his brother can't take them. This last week, the other two have been carrying and playing with his box much to his frustration. So, to stop the fighting and tears, I bought them their own.

This is the original box. Unpainted.

It has a small latch.

For my daughter I painted hers pink inside and out.

My oldest wanted his inside painted too. (Apparently we only painted the outside.) So I helped him add in his and Nana's favorite color.

I am just now realizing that I never took photos of my other son's box. It's dark blue out and green in. But the little rascal has hidden it and wont tell me where. ;)
