It always amazes me how my kids can have loads of cars, tractors, trains etc., but the things that seem to give them the most pleasure are the simple things in life.

 

Now, tell me what you see...

My boys were laughing hysterically, when a dinosaur came to eat Sky's pizza on pizza night.

That's so cute, it's the simple things in life that matter the most!
Lacey K. Aug 27, 2009, 3:15pm EDT
Haha, I love it! We could learn a lot from our children.
Sophie S. Aug 27, 2009, 3:18pm EDT
I used to love shadow shows as a kid! Cute dino :)

Cute. I remember when my kids liked the boxes better than the gifts.
Rebecca [Future Teacher] Aug 27, 2009, 3:27pm EDT
Very cute. They're really fun when you're a kid =)
Rose H. Aug 27, 2009, 3:28pm EDT
Cute dino! Life is so simple when you're a kid.
Sandra H. Aug 27, 2009, 3:30pm EDT
That is the greatest shot! I used to love making shadows animals for my kids!
Vivian P. Aug 27, 2009, 3:30pm EDT
Love it
Dagmara H. Aug 27, 2009, 3:31pm EDT
what a cute dino.
Janet "Jax" B. Aug 27, 2009, 3:39pm EDT
LOL...great shot...and I remember my kids being more fascinated with boxes than with what happened to be inside the box.
Renita P. Aug 27, 2009, 4:19pm EDT
haha! That's great! I wish my oldest could be more easily amused by simple things. She thinks the world revolves around electronics! I'm glad school started just so at least 1/2 her day is taken up with something else besides arguing with me over getting more computer time! lol
Nancy S. Aug 27, 2009, 4:19pm EDT
That's great fun. My kids always played with the boxes too.
Shawnee G. Aug 27, 2009, 4:32pm EDT
Too funny!
Michelle W. Aug 27, 2009, 6:42pm EDT
How funny! I laughed at my grandson who was pushing a toy dinosaur around in his little dump truck this summer and then wouldn't let the poor thing eat his dinner!
Rita Ilfeld Aug 27, 2009, 7:43pm EDT
adorable!
Marianne R. Aug 27, 2009, 9:28pm EDT
What a great shadow photo!
Kimber L. Aug 27, 2009, 10:06pm EDT
LOL that is cute
Pam H. Aug 27, 2009, 11:11pm EDT
Just like them loving to play in an empty box. Kids are great for the simple things.
Monica H. Aug 27, 2009, 11:56pm EDT
Awwwwww......so glad you captured it on film. This is so much fun.
Tory H. Aug 29, 2009, 9:24pm EDT
Shadow puppets are so fun! It's great that your boys can find joy in those sorts of things!
Courtney C. Sep 1, 2009, 8:14am EDT
LOL, that's really cute
Trish A. Sep 4, 2009, 7:52am EDT
I love this! I think as parent's, grandparent's, aunt's, uncle's and teachers it is important to share such simple things. You're an excellent mother for teaching such lessons.
Connie C. Sep 4, 2009, 9:36am EDT
That is so cute.

You're lucky to have such a cute family!

LOL! That is so cute!
Ahahahaha. Those dinosaurs are relentless. This reminds me of the countless empty boxes that entertained my daughter when she was younger. Forget what the boxes once held.....
Jaime R. Sep 9, 2009, 12:39pm EDT
great shot! Now just find him a box to play with & he is all set - I used to love to play in boxes!
Kelly M. Nov 8, 2009, 8:21pm EST
