I just had to use all caps to try and convey the level of excitement in the kids' voices when they came in from the mailbox on Friday. We have had a little break from the Treasure Box, with the gift giving of the holidays and our visit to Minnesota in February. So they have been wondering when it would show up again and were SO thrilled to see the package. They recognized the size of the Postal Flat Rate Mailer, and then my sister's return address was the confirmation that it was indeed what they had been waiting for.
A little bit of something fun and special for each of them, and a sweet treat as well (Lyle nearly choked trying to eat a chocolate lady bug with the wrapper still on! That guy is a chocoholic.)
And composting books for me! Perfect timing. I love the treasure box!
Packages in the mail are ALWAYS exciting especially when the little ones know there is something special in there just for them! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI want a cool sister! All I have are lame brothers who usually don't even remember my birthday and only call to ask me to do their taxes and stuff....
ReplyDeleteAt least you have a sister in law Rachel!!!!!! Actually, 7 of them!!!!!!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI have a chocoholic on my hands as well. He hides under the table and sneaks chocolate whenever he can find it. Those boys must be related somehow!
