Boxes in the Mail

We love, love, love to get boxes in the mail. I mean, really, who doesn't love to get a package or TWO!? Chris' sister, Bettie, has the occasion to rub elbows with people far above me and this past week was no exception. This time, there were goodies from different countries involved. She boxed up the diplomatic gifts and sent them along to the kids, knowing how we love other countries. The kids had/are having a ball with the stuff, let me tell you.

David couldn't figure out how to get them to stay on his head, so Ruth is lending him a hand.

"Mama, I thought it was a Octopus!" he told me.

Hight and mighty Ruth, practicing her snobbery

Sigh...

Suddenly...I feeling hot! I wish I had a fan!

But, the real hit was the Lego's from the Nordic countries.

Except for the key chain. They all keep fighting over the key chain from Slovenia.
