All in a Day's Play

Building a beautiful pool wasn't enough for my children. They wanted a swing set, too. After much whining and debating over models, we ordered one. It was delivered in a giant box the day before our vacation, so I thought I'd take all the pieces out so they could play in the box and burn off some energy. Well, what do I know? They did go in it for a few minutes, but then they saw all the pieces scattered around the play room and started to climb on them and even attempt to slide on the slide that stood on its own apart from anything. This all lead to more whining and a giant empty box.
