all I want for Christmas is a cardboard box

Rachel was home "sick" today (her fever was 101.4, but she sure acted like a normal five year old kid all day!).  She spent the day playing.  I guess if you have to miss school and gymnastics, it's best to feel good all day and get to play!

What did she play with?  Her five million toys? 

Oh no....

A free cardboard box.

And every time she got in it, Rebecca wanted in it (if I tried putting Rebecca in it without Rachel, Rebecca wanted out immediately, but if Rachel was there, then she wanted in).

I just don't get it.  Fighting over a cardboard box when there are rooms full of toys in this house.  Why did we buy all of those Christmas presents, when all they really need is a box???
