The Peanuts

We have a wonderful friend getting married this weekend and we ordered some gifts online. One happened to come in a giant box filled with packaging peanuts. I'm sure you can guess what happened next.

The Next Morning: The Aftermath

The mess was just so huge that we didn't even bother cleaning it up that night. Trying to clean up that mess turned out to be just as fun as making it though.

This was the view down our hallway from the bedrooms. Keep in mind that the box started out by the front door.

Olivia's first breakdance. All she needed was peanut inspiration.

For any of you looking for birthday ideas for Olivia. We highly recommend a giant box of packaging peanuts. Maybe we'll theme a birthday party around packaging materials.

Early Birthday Present

Thank you Lolos. Should we tell her the crib was for the doll?

The little girl and the big mess (times three)

Olivia reading a book after emptying her entire bookself and that includes removing the shelves.


One of Olivia's favorite pasttimes- unrolling toilet paper. Here she also emptied the kleenex box and pulled all the towels off the wall.

Here is our least favorite mess. Olivia drew us a beautiful picture on the living room wall. She did attempt to help me scrub it off, but with no luck. We are going to have to repaint that section.
