Special Delivery: A Case of Sillies
Not too long ago, I was headed through the front of the house when I caught a glimpse of the UPS guy carrying a GIANT box up to our front door. I opened the door just as he got to it, and he pushed the box inside and left the kids and I wondering what this huge cardboard container might be holding. I set it against the wall next to the front door and told the kids we could ask their dad when he got home. Shortly thereafter I realized that it was probably the train/activity table Mike had ordered for Christian. I was right. Tonight the kids and Mike put the table together, and needless to say, they were very excited. They love all things new, from a package of rubber bands to piano lesson books, so this was a big deal. The two of them pitched in, I'm sure...
When I first went up to check on them Christian had the directions; he told me,"Look! I'm instructioning!" His reading skills are developing so quickly, and his vocabulary is always growing. He expands ours as well.
The kids wanted to pose with their new toy, and instructed me to take their picture and put it on the blog. Why would they think I would do that? I can't figure it out.
Here they are, in all their super-silliness and fun-loving glory... (I really wish this picture had audio...imagine shrill, hysterical giggles.)
Michaela is growing like a weed...
I am excited that he will have a place to dump the Legos, or the Tinker Toys, or the Lincoln Logs, or the K'Nex, or the train tracks, or the Q-Ba-Maze, or the Magnetix, or the cars, or the puzzle pieces. My goodness, he has a lot of things to do...that should keep him plenty busy for the next few days!
