This is a Blog written about some kids in a shanty town outside of AZLE!

To borrow a line from Bono. We have our own backyard Shanty Town! We got a new sleep number bed this weekend and gave the kids the old boxes. While we were busy putting the "build your own bed kit" together, I went into the back yard and the kids had created their own Shanty Town.

Each box was equipped with its own lighting system and a set of rules to follow. It is amazing how fun a box can be.

Why do we spend so much money on toys? The kids have more fun with a box in one weekend than they do most of their toys the rest of the year. I love to see their creativity flowing.

Our kids are amazing.

That is priceless!!! And, I agree . . . that poor girl doesn't stand a chance with that many boys in the house!
What a neat idea! Your kids are great because you're great parents.

Awesome. I'm thinking we should buy ourselves really big gifts for Christmas this year. That way, the kids will have a really great Christmas box to play with! Isn't that the right spirit!??!
