Rocket Ship

On black Friday, I went to Michale's and found this great cardboard rocket ship. Any other mom would have seen it, thought it was cool, and kept walking. However, my sisters and I had a great cardboard rocket ship when I was little. I know there is at least one picture out there and some fun home movies at my dad's house, but none I could get a hold of for this blog.


There were hours of fun building it, coloring it, and playing inside.


Well, almost all the play was fun except when all three tried to get in at one time. All the boys loved it, but then it become just another thing in the living room as most toys do. Time to throw it out... not quite!




To stretch the last bit of play out of the ship, I took a sting of Christmas lights and poked them through the top. It brightened up the dark play area and made a beautiful ceiling of stars. This gave the rocket another week of exciting play until total demolition occurred as always happens with three little boys.
Great memories with my sisters and my boys. It was a very fun few weeks!
