New Fridge and freezer

Kids love the cardboard boxes from whitegoods. William is not too old for them - I had thought of giving them to younger kids whom I thought would enjoy it. Twelve is not too old to still love to play with boxes. When Will heard my idea to give away the prized boxes he was disgusted with me.

Last weekend he and his mate A painted the fridge box into their version of the tardis. It is completely nothing like I would of made - but hey it is Will's box. He has been SLEEPING in the freezer box. Yes - I agree there is something wrong with practising to be a homeless person.

And YES his room normally is as messy as that. The tardis idea comes from the times my girlfriends and I have wine and nibblies - or coffee - whatever and they are amazed at how many kids come in and out of Will's room when no one ever seems to know exactly how many are in there. Especially me. Will has great mates and somehow they all fit in the room. I can hear boys playing soccer outside so I am sometimes surprised to find "extras" in his room playing Xbox, gameboy or board games. I have just learnt never to assume I am alone in the house. My friends find it amusing that it doesnt worry me.

Apparantly 22 is ALSO not too old to play with boxes.

When we moved into this new place, two of my brothers (then 18 and 22) came over to check it out, and instead spent the next fifteen minutes poking holes out of the moving boxes to dress up as robots to play 'robot wars' (also known as 'banging into each other').

Oh - the things I still have to look forward too!

It could be worse. Give him a few years, and he'll be playing with different boxes. (Poor pun, I know, but true...)

Omg Boysenberry ... lol... not my sweet William. He is going to remain home with Mummy for ever and ever and......... yep.... that is it.

actually for young wills that box looks rather clean and tidy... should i be concerned?

Oh no - do not worry.. lack of care or consideration for hygeine is still one of William's idiosyncracies. I guess when that stops I do start worrying about what Boysenberry said!

Yep , that has begun to happen here with my kids, I do not care really unless they begin to get into trouble..having more kids around makes them social butterflies :)
