The Orange Box

Camilla went through our recycling today and found her new favorite toy, an orange box.  She's been playing with it all afternoon.  Putting things in it, closing the lid, carrying it around, opening the lid, sorting things into it, putting it in different places.  It's been fun to watch her! Who knew something so simple could entertain for so long! Maybe, for Christmas, I'll just wrap up a bunch of boxes for her!! Just Kidding. 

Meanwhile, we've had a frustrating electrical difficulty since breakfast.  Apparently the grill, microwave and toaster can't all be plugged in at the same time, even if you aren't even using the microwave... I've tried every breaker and none of them will turn it back on.  How frustrating! The poor people upstairs are going to have to reset everything when they get home.  My bad. Other than trying to fix that, I've been making preparations for our Harry Potter Party tomorrow night!! Last night Mr. Stannix and I made up some Butterbeer (non-alcoholic of course) to make sure it would work and it was stinkin' delicious! Camilla has been chilling with me, helping me clean here and there and picking up her toys, and of course, playing with her awesome orange box!
