To all the diaper boxes I've bought before....

To all the diaper boxes I've bought before
while scorning the price of the store
I dedicate this post
To all the diaper boxes I've bought before

To all the diaper boxes I once detested
And wondered what I would do with you
once your product was gone
I owe a lot I know
To all the diaper boxes I've bought before

The diapers they are needing changing
And every time the kids wake up
The diapers they are needing changing
The dirtiness just never stops

To all the boxes stored upstairs
Who now hold all our room's supplies
I'm glad I kept them all
I dedicate this post
To all the diaper boxes I've bought before

Seriously - diaper boxes are ridiculous. They are made of this uber sturdy cardboard and hold one of the lightest things in the world. 25 lb. cat litter boxes have flimsier cardboard (but are great for dvds and vhs tapes once empty).
But these sturdy diaper boxes.... I wish I could find my camera. Every room in our new house has at least 5 boxes that once held diapers and now hold toys, books, dishes, pictures, papers.... you name it, it went in an old diaper box.

For this move we didn't have to get any extra boxes from Walmart or Hyvee or U-haul, our children's nappies provided them all!
I'm contemplating keeping every single box only because Curly Baby is most likely going to be a cloth diaper baby and I know we won't be able to build up the same stock of boxes for the next move (which we're hoping is several years away).

As you can see, we have internet (and this afternoon Dish!). I'm sure the unpacking will slow down, but I should get back to it for now.

I hear ya! All of the clothes that Max has outgrown are in old diaper boxes. We also use them fro collecting our paper recycling. I can't imagine having more than one kid in diapers at the same time. Waaaaay too many boxes!
