Our two oldest spent a lot of time with those books and now we're beginning to enjoying them with our littles. The best part of this post, other than the great reading material, is the relationship building that's going on between your sons. It warms my heart!! Thank you for sharing this!

I've always wanted a house full of boys, but so far I only have one child. I think kids really need others to grow up with. Life can be tough sometimes, but at least they have each other to lean on.

I'm glad your kids are getting a chance to learn those lessons through adventure together. Thanks again for hosting!

We actually got one on tape from the library a few years ago to listen to on a road trip, just for fun... and this was before we had kids! :) What a great memory!

I loved the Boxcar Children growing up... I used to be able to quote most of the first book. ;) Sadly, I've found the quality of the "franchise" books (you know, like... #112-#298...*rolls eyes*) make them not worth the effort. But the original ones are really fantastic. Have your boys done Swiss Family Robinson as a read-aloud yet? Man... I dog-eared my copy by the time I was 9! :) We never had a boxcar, but we certainly had some pretty elaborate tree houses! Congratulations on raising boys who love to read (esp. to each other)!

What a sweet memory... for all of you! It also reminded me to enjoy those moments in my own home. Even if it does mean they're staying up a little later than normal. I’m so glad you shared this!
