"The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong." ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder
Yes, the children get a treat every evening. Sometimes it's candy that fits in the box. Other times it's a craft or something that doesn't fit inside and then they get a little note telling them where to look to find it!
My sister gave us this box years ago and we love it. I have seen several ideas on the web to make your own. One cute one used a muffin tin - http://jamiecooksitup.blogspot.com/2010/11/something-cute-really-cute.html
Some things are surprises, but they know every year to expect a popcorn tin on a Friday for movie night, a box of chocolate covered cherries one night, and an ornament.
It's a tradition that I don't think they'll ever grow out of. ;-)
I saw that one! Its adorable. I always say I'll make one over the summer, but then the heat comes and the desire fizzles.
I like the idea of leaving them notes where to find things, and I'm totally going to borrow the popcorn tin and movie. My two have been asking me to buy A Charlie Brown Christmas, they'd love getting a popcorn tin with it. Thanks!

It's so cute! Do you fill it with something special? One of these days I'll get my act together and make one.
