Package Week

This week we received THREE packages in two shipments. Needless to say, packages make us slightly excited. The first box had some neat stuff including raincoats for Craig and Angie. One the day it arrived a horrible thought occurred to me ... what if they sent the EXACT same jacket in two sizes. We'd look so corny in our matching coats that Craig's would NEVER see the light of day. Thankfully the colors are different and so both jackets not only fit but can be worn. We tried to look like some models from a K-Mart ad but I am not sure how well we did.

The next shipment had 50 pounds worth of stuff!! Notice in one photo of Craig doing the work of customs and inspecting the cookies upon arrival. That is how he keeps his girlish figure.

You can see all the staples people need: Kool-Aid, Pop Tarts, Little Debbies, and other incredible treats. We have a restaurant here that is exactly like Arby's except they don't have Arby's sauce. Folks here eat hot sauce on EVERYTHING. Pizza comes with ketchup and hot sauce, so does McD's, and of course, the "Arby's". So when the box arrived we placed a delivery order for the Arby's-like place and the kids were quite happy!!



One great thing was we missed the UPS guy and he left his cell number so when we got home we called and he actually came back to the house to deliver the packages. The fact that he had 50 pounds of stuff on his motorcycle could've influenced him, I guess. He was ready to get rid of it. Also notice how well we fit in ... Caleb is wearing a sweatshirt at the equator!!
