Sheila is DA-BOMB!..direct quote...

SATURDAY October 11th, 2008

What's one of the COOLEST things kids enjoy!?! GETTING MAIL, of course! Well, a couple times a year, a HUGE box is set on our doorstep for the kids and inside these boxes are the most AWESOME gifts EVER! As soon as they see that the box is for THEM and that it's from cousin Sheila, they are running around the house yelling, "we got another box, we got another box from MICHIGAN!". Then the ceremonial procedure begins: we sit on the kitchen floor in a circle, mom cuts the box open and then 6 little hands are all grabbing at the same time....squeals of delight fill our house. They are so excited about EACH item that they are shoving things left and right in front of each others' faces..."look at THIS", "aww MAN, see what I have...WAY COOL", and this year Parker came up with this one, "SHEILA IS THE BOMB!, she must REALLY love us to keep sending us all this COOL stuff!!". Seriously, it's at least an hour and a half process!
Here's what we got yesterday...
After we had the box destroyed, we set out all the GOODIES! There was spider web cotton candy, PEEPS, sodas, gel clingies for the windowns, a kit to BOO! your neighbor, even a pencil craft! Here, the kids are saying "Thank BOO! Sheila"!!
Not only did they get their own cans of SODA, but there were cute pumpkin straws in the box to drink them with!
Crafty, crafty Sheila! She included these fun pencils for the kids to decorate! These were a HUGE hit!

We put them together as soon as the sodas were gone!

There was even a "treat" in there for mom and dad! Man, we are LUCKY! THANK YOU SHEILA!! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU!!
