And subbed in the exact same amount of salt (I blame this on the friggin' clear storage containers.) And it was not just for me. It was for samples at the high-end kitchen store. I had blocked it out, but you brought all those memories rushing back like a big 'ol tidal wave of ocean water. Salt water, to be precise. Thanks for that. At least you gave me the topic for my next blog........<br /><br />best, <br />MOVMOVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782183723607923501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074904356505215216.post-21530113159661410762011-12-02T00:52:14.034-06:002011-12-02T00:52:14.034-06:00Maplewood - I never thought of socks!

They're taking over my house.<br /><br />Robyn - Amen. It's like they've never heard of Christmas before.<br /><br />SF - You said it, Charlie Brown.<br /><br />Kristi - they had the picture on the BOX? I would have died. And your dad sounds AWESOME. I'm feeding the kids all the no-sugar cookies and they don't seem to mind. ??? I suppose they're used to my bad cooking.Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509329937576764550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074904356505215216.post-88006873830996826152011-12-01T10:59:26.904-06:002011-12-01T10:59:26.904-06:00My dad used to build forts & tunnels out of al...My dad used to build forts & tunnels out of all of the delivery boxes! our kids had so much fun! <br />I am hoping this year my delivery person is a little more discreet... last year I ordered the ridiculously huge doll house & a set of hockey nets, both were left on the front porch... with pictures on the box! argh!! And he doesn't deliver to me until somewhere between 6:30 & 7pm... when I have seen his face drive down my street multiple times already that day!<br />p.s. dip the cookies in chocolate... instant sugary fix!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07874046616118249854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074904356505215216.post-87962931281223925842011-12-01T09:04:43.254-06:002011-12-01T09:04:43.254-06:00Good Grief!

The 64 box had a really cool sharpner imbedded in the box. Seeing the picture of your son, is that the gazillion box of crayons next to him? <br /><br />Regarding boxes as toys, dogs are like that too. Forget the the expensive toys give em an empty gallon of milk container....or if you really want to show him/her how much you care, your smelliest, hair covered sock will do the trick.
