Sometimes, I'm just awesome.

So, as I mentioned before, Ruby was excited about her new box. The problem was, that she didn't quite fit into it (you don't need a very big box to ship a backpack.) She got frustrated after it was all decorated, and then she couldn't even get in it. Then she got mad and threw it in the recycling.

Today, while she was at music camp, the other two kids and I went to Target. On the way into the store, we saw a big box from a car seat in a cart in the cart return. I mentioned that Ruby would sure love it and said we should get it. The kids didn't want to stop and go back to the car for some old box, so I said that if it was still there when we came out, we'd grab it.

And how lucky we were, it was still there when we came out, so we did indeed grab it.

Guess who was so excited when we got home with Ruby and the box? As is my habit, I closed the garage door after we pulled in, and Ruby had a panic attack that with the garage closed, she would never be able to get to her box out of the trunk (drama queen much?) We got the box safely into the house, and while I'm not sure what it will be when it's done, I'm sure it will be something very fun. Could be a house, could be a spaceship, could be a boat. You just never know.

Sometimes, I'm a good mom and I pick up other people's garbage for my kids to play with.
