Anybody else really sick of winter?
Yeah. So are my kids.
B-O-R-E-D.
Drag Out The Diaper Boxes.
But oh the fun you can have with a box and some music and a whole lot of imagination.
And so my Dirty Half Dozen grabbed some cardboard boxes … and started drawing and cutting …
… and rummaging through my scraps …
… and creating their own masterpieces …
I spy a Halloween cupcake pick, a nickel, a candy wrapper and an orange band-aid I’m going to pretend is clean.
… complete with – wait for it – rock star glasses to match.
And by the time all of them were done, they’d given themselves super-cool rock star names.
We took their headshots …
… and practiced for their upcoming neighborhood world tour …
And when they had it just right, we cranked up our favorite playlist on iTunes and let them jam away.
And while “Dynamite” by Taio Cruz may not the rock anthem be, my Dirty Half Dozen shredded it like pros.
Oh, and we taped their concert, too. We got some priceless footage “on-stage” as well a hysterical acoustic version of my six-year-olds sure to be smash hit, “I love cute baby unicorns even though they’re not real.”
May I present:
I have a feeling their album launch party next week during FHE is gonna rock.
… thank you Mr. Walmart diaper box for an awesome afternoon.
Betcha ‘B-O-R-E-D’ goes away real quick.

This is AWESOME, especially since they sell those cardboard guitars for like $25. I know that the ones they sell have sound, but still.
Great pictures!

Such a cute idea! My favorite is the little picture of the skull labeled skull just in case you weren't sure what it was supposed to be:)

Such a great idea! I remember having sock hops as a kid. Every Saturday we turned on the oldies and danced around the living room or yard. It really is the simple things with kids! Thanks for the reminder.
