"He's one of those kids, you get him a gift and all he wants to do is play with the box. Yeah, one year we actually just got him a box, a really nice box.And we made the mistake of putting it in a gift bag. So he played with the gift bag. We can't get it right." - Modern Family Season 1 Episode 9
Recently we have had a lot of big boxes. I decided to change out all the toilets. Our toilets were really crappy. They were the cheapest Sterling toilets money could buy and the kids were clogging them almost daily. So I went out and bought three top of the line Toto Drake toilets. I did a lot of research and then observation when we would go out and decided we couldn't go without Toto. They have been great. As the guy at Home Depot said "You could flush a whole chicken down them". Plus they are glazed so well they hardly need cleaning.
Enough about the toilets though. Boxes, lots of boxes. Each toilet bowl and tank came in a separate box. So we had 6 large boxes. What to do with those boxes? I made the kids a tunnel to play in. I kept the boxes around for a couple months then finally decided it was time to get rid of them. Now we are in the middle of a remodel on our master bathroom. Our tub came in not 1, but two large boxes. So now the kids like to hide in that box. Unfortunately they only got to keep one of the boxes. The moms that run the programs at the school decided to steal the other one. Their post on Facebook, not asking for, but basically demanding we hand over the boxes was annoying. My dad and I wanted to make some dirty jokes about their demands to have Natalie's box but Natalie wouldn't have it so we just had to leave a laughing emoji.
Here is Zach's tunnel.
