Pop Goes the Weasel

Last week I found this chest on KSL to keep my piano stuff in. It ended up being bigger than I expected, so for now we're using it as an end table in our front room. It really is too big, but it's perfect to keep things organized in for teaching. One side has three drawers to hold stuff in and the other, the top opens on half of it and is really deep to file music in.

My kids got curious and started playing in it. We tried seeing how much it could hold.

First, one big boy..
Then two boys...

Next, a mom...

A little girl...
A bigger, little girl...
Look how deep!!
Three darlings...

We worked out a trick. Before Chris got home last night I taught Caely how to play Pop Goes the Weasel, Tyler hid in the chest and we gathered in the front room for a show. I sat with Chris on the couch with him nearest the chest.

Caely played and when we got to the "pop" part, Tyler jumped from the chest and Chris got quite the surprise! It was so funny, I was crying I laughed so hard!!
