Pierce came home with a paper this week, asking us to make a "float" in honor of the Kentucky Derby. By float, they meant a shoe box, just all cutesified and the kids will parade them around at school. Fun!
My wheels started to turn, and I had visions of a box with roses, and lots of cute horses, etc.
When I shared my ideas with him, he looked at me like I was trying to ruin his life. I mean, why wouldn't a 7 year old boy want a rose covered box?
SO, I swallowed MY ideas, and decided to let him do what he wanted.
He was pumped.

Good job for not letting mom OCD kick in.
He looks so dang big too!
What a cute idea!!
That is sooo hard for me! Way to go for keeping it in! :)
Ahh he did a good job! Isn't it amazing how our visions totally differ from theirs. I was so hard for me to let go of control and let my daughter do her own thing. I'm such a perfectionist!
I think it is a great looking box! The star wars is cute. ;) I remember when we were supposed to make our own checkers set in ELEMENTARY school and my dad made mine with plexiglass, etched out the sides and stained the squares...um, yeah, a 4th grader did that. ;)
