Guilt Stickers

Occasionally, people will tell me they are shipping me things and I usually forget by the time the packages arrive because they take sooooo long to get here. Like the other day mom told me she was shipping us something - I didn't even question it because she randomly sends us stuff all the time.

Then the package actually arrived and we opened it to find a pair of Matt's shorts and jeans that she had accidentally packed in her luggage when they left! I think she felt so guilty about stealing them that she stuffed the rest of the box with goodies to soothe her guilt. Ha!

The boys were obviously the most excited about their chocolate donuts, but these star stickers were a close second. Henry hasn't actually played much with stickers yet, but I thought this thick foam ones would be a good starting point. I peeled the backing off for him and then he stuck them down on the paper - he did a pretty good job too! Obviously they got stuck to his fingers on occassion, but overall he was a sticker placing master!

Thomas doesn't need *any* help with stickers anymore. I think here he was telling me to stop trying to adjust the colors in his pile of stickers to be more balanced. I was just trying to give you more of the shiny stickers, little Rembrandt! ;)

The finished masterpieces! Maybe I should have gone with little Picasso... Henry's stars show pretty good coverage of the page and Thomas was much more focused on the one side. Well I guess I can't question his artistic vision!

Thanks for the care package, Nonni - even if it was a guilty one. :)

And there was one other care package this month that I forgot about by the time it arrived - Theresa and Anna sent us their favorite book. I saw it in a photo Theresa sent me and was asking what it was. Since it was about the only book we didn't own, they surprised us with a copy of it.

Thomas LOVES it! We're already read it so many times. If you have a small kiddo and they like to read, you have to get this book. It's pretty much magical! Thanks for introducing us to the awesomeness of Press Here! :)
