Dear McDonalds

Dear McDonalds,

Our mommy told us we needed to tell you thanks for letting us borrow LOTS of your old boxes.


We really appreciated it. They worked great as moving boxes, but we really liked them best as climbing blocks...

forts...

family portraits...

time out chairs...

treasure boxes...

hideouts...

chairs...

and a dance floor!!

We've even contemplated using your boxes as a dining room table because we have so many of them that our kitchen table and chairs didn't fit in the moving truck and got left behind.

It was slightly embarrassing for our mommy to get caught INSIDE the dumpster hunting for boxes, but you know what they say, "desperate times call for desperate measures."

No offense, but we hope that next time we move someone else will provide the boxes... and the packers... and the big strong men to carry all our stuff. Our mommy is tired of being all of those things. We're a little tired of it too.


Don't worry though. We'll still visit you lots, just hopefully not your dumpster next time!

Sincerely,
Alex
and The Russ Kids

p.s. We're sorry that every time we drive by a McDonalds we scream "look an eating place... it's Chick-fil-A!!!" Take it as a compliment because we LOVE Chick-fil-A. LOTS!!


mommy's note: the first pictures are of Alex from MARCH. He could barely sit up. Now it is SEPTEMBER and he is walking. He's been surrounded by boxes for most of his life, poor kid!!

  4. What a great idea...I would have never thought to go to McDonalds for boxes. We always beg for them at Publix. I hope you guys are starting to get a little settled into your new home.
