Care Packages

One of my favorite parts about college was getting care packages in the mail. Of course, I really made it clear to everyone that I liked to get mail. I have gotten a lot of fun things in the mail, for example, a homemade cake, a foot stool, carmel popcorn, and the list goes on. Well, at the end of last week, a package arrived from Kohl's. I am not much of an online shopper so I was curious about it. My friend had a bunch of coloring books and a stamp set sent to us. It was a really fun idea and my daughter thought it was great!

So, the next day, my husband comes in with another package. He wanted to know what I had ordered this time. (Disclaimer: I am partial to ordering books online.) Again, I claimed innocence. My same friend had another package sent with this really great poncho sweater with an attached scarf. Can I just say that it is darling? I wore it on both my mystery date and my advenure with friends to see a Chinese dance show. I like to plan mystery dates which usually include tickets to some cultural event that my husband would never agree to on his own accord. This time, it worked out really well for us except our daughter fell asleep during the second half of the concert. I am still hearing about our mystery date to the ballet years ago. I have to admit he was right on that one.

It doesn't take a lot to send a care package. It can be anything really. I have two packages sitting on my desk waiting for a trip to the post office. I just think it is fun to send mail and fun to get mail. I can't recall if I mentioned my friend's package of gingerbread cookies. They came from Seattle with a note that simply read, "Some calories for you!"

Tomorrow, we are heading to kindergarten round up so you might avoid calling me. I didn't handle preschool so well and I imagine this will be worse. Feel free to pray for us.

Blessings,
