Since it is the holidays we have a bunch of cardboard boxes arriving at the house. One particularly big one showed up yesterday, so Lehr got a great idea. Instead of just recycling it, he made a 'toy' for Eli first. If you've been to our house in the last month, you've seen Eli's fondness for cooking these days, so the obvious choice was a range/stove top and oven. Lehr decked it out with holes for spatulas and knobs on the front (made from Eli's tool set). Eli loves it. No need to spend money on a 'real' kitchen for the kid - cardboard is just fine! We missed our walk yesterday due to rain, but Eli didn't mind at all. He made 'hayn-gers' (hamburgers), pancakes, corn, birt-day cake, and 'bok-lee' (broccoli). We honestly spent every waking minute (except for a quick 30-minute trip to Harry's) 'cooking' and playing with Daddy's gift.

I almost did that same thing with one of our big boxes from the move. But Grandma (the garage sale fanatic) bought Maya a cheap one at a garage sale across the street.
