For a fun time, place a preschooler inside a large cardboard box.
On the box, draw eyes, a nose, and mouth. It helps if it looks angry. Pretend to eat things!! Nom nom nom! Pajamas were just the beginning…. this box was hungry!
(Burp!) On to The New Yorker….. Oh no…. he can’t be stopped!
The teddy bear? Seriously?? Have you no mercy????
Clara thought this was hysterical, but she was standing so close I thought she was going to end up being dessert! Thank goodness this terrifying beast didn’t resort to gobbling her up.
Emily, however, was not so lucky.

I'm thinking Mom was having as much fun as the little ones? Love the action photos!

Cool trick with the pix. I bet the girls had a lot of fun with that.

That's pretty funny! I know they got a kick outta looking at the pictures of the monster box eating. How did you do that with the pictures? Very cool.
October 15th, 2009 on 10:09 am
LOL that is hilarious. OMG your kids are so lucky. I think my son would laugh so hard doing that at age 9 that he'd probably pee his pants. My kitten loves boxes, she'd have a blast too.
How the heck did you get the photos to do that?
October 15th, 2009 on 10:18 am
The photos were saved as animated .gifs using The Gimp (open source software). We love the Gimp!

October 15th, 2009 on 8:18 pm
