I agree Jan. My Mom is the one to thank for this. She let us do the same thing. Explore the world around us and make a mess creating things with our imagination. I remember a younger child. My Father bought all new appliances for my Mom. The whole nine yards.......washer/dryer, fridge and stove. And we got the empty boxes. My girlfriends and I took those boxes out in the backyard and drew designs on the like houses including picket fences...lol
We had to be fair though, my brother and his friends got the other side. And drew army stuff all over them. In the end they were blown up and set afire.....LOL
