Opened up a box...

Are there times that you just think what should I do with my young children tonight? It's so cold outside, like 20 degrees, and the kind of evening where it is just not in the cards to go outside and play in the snow. I really felt like doing something exciting but easily got demotivated due to the bitter freezing cold. I turned on the tv, took kids in their playrooms and thought "what can I do to entertain and interact with them"? I opted to open up a box that has been sitting down in our rec room. Inside was old photos of my 14 year old, ultrasound photos of her, and my 4 year old Daughter truly enjoyed seeing her sister so small. I also found my baby book, that included my baby photo, and to my surprise, such sentimental writings from my Mom. Being my Mom is no longer with us, it touched me greatly to find her handwriting notes about my birth. She kept it up throughout the book and what a treasure I found. I got to read to my little ones what my Mom thought about me, and her experience with me as a baby. Then we also found some dolls, and GUITARS. I had no idea how much my 1 year old son would love to pick up a guitar and enjoy the sounds. These aren't typical guitars, they are for kids, and have electronic responses to little hands. It also plays like "In a Gadda Da Vida"....really cool. It teaches them different chords, and different songs. So for a couple hours we dug through a box and found many treasures. Some of them are priceless. I need to open more of my boxes that have been stored away for too long.
