Package from Mormor!

Owen & Kyle get care packages from their Mormor quite often! Every single time it is a truly exciting and awe-inspiring experience for them -- the thrill of it doesn't seem to wear off, ever, no matter how many packages come, no matter what is in the package (cookies? YAY! YAY! toys? YAY! YAY! clothes? YAY! YAY!). Mormor can do no wrong: all things good come from Mormor (she could send a box filled with crumpled newspaper and they'd be absolutely thrilled). Yesterday a package was waiting when they got home from daycare! Oh happy day! Oh happy day! Guess what was inside? It couldn't be better: 2 new motor-noise-making toys! A book that makes motor noises and a wood block toy that makes motor noises (note: how ironic is THAT?! read Braydon's post from yesterday). K & O were enthralled with them both. After reading Braydon's post you'll have an idea of just how enthralled they really were. "THANK YOU MORMOR" they said many many many many times over the course of last evening. Oh, how they love Mormor.

It is 7:08 am and the boys are still sleeping. They are usually up sometime between 6:30 and 7:00. This is the first morning in a couple of weeks that Braydon and I have both managed to be up, showered, bags-packed-for-work, coffee made, washing-machine-and-dryer running, everything-ready-to-start-the-day before the boys wake up. This is our goal for every morning, but so often K or O or both beat us to it. It feels good to be one step ahead of them since so often we're trailing in the dust behind them!

TGIF!
